Oberg Freight Co reviews

I recommend you DO NOT WORK HERE !!! The recruiter Bill is a really nice guy, but will tell you anything you want to hear to get you there. I was promised newer equipment, no touch freight, mostly drop and hook, which may have been true if it was worth staying... You have to pay for your own scales, tolls, fluids, anything you need for your truck, no prepass, and the equipment is terrible... The truck that I was assigned had exterior damage, the paint was peeling off of it (all of the things Dot are looking for to pull you in for an inspection) I spoke with several drivers and they had all been fined, the inside had broken plastic, no fridge, and the Apu was under the bunk so your cords would be severed. They try to force you to move trailers around for free when you get to a destination, their hostiler is off on the weekend so guess who they want to move trailers with no pay.... And as far as no touch, you have to strap down these coils that will eat up at least an hour to 2 hours... They also charge you for the straps, a broom, a hardhat, vest, blower... I WOULDN'T WORK FOR THIS COMPANY !!!

The recruiter is s really nice guy and says all the right things to get you there, but the owners and safety director are full of crap when they tell you they value family. All they care about is getting their freight hauled regardless of the family cost to the driver. And they’ll cut you loose the second they realize your family comes first. They lie about the mileage wage too and rob you of several cents a mile after you agree to start. And dispatcher I had will send you to a customer to pick up 8 hours earlier than the appt, you’ll end up just sitting doing nothing. Don’t even get me started on the equipment either. Truck they gave me was trashed and had to have been driven til the wheels were damn near off.
