My husband and I have worked here for a little over a year now and I have to say it's a great company to work for. We are not new to this industry by any means and have been thru several other companies and this is this first one that I can honestly say cares about their drivers. The money is good if you're willing to keep the door closed and work. The benefits are good and the fleet leaders are extremely pleasant to deal with.

100% correct. I used to work for transport america and infact the only reason I left was due to snow storm and death in the family. it was the best company I ever worked for except for hometime. they kept trying to send me in the wrong direction of my house every single day of transit. other than that it was great. sorry for late reply

Lots
of fed-ex freight. Embrace New Jersey. Every inch of it. You're going often. I
personally like it, you reload quickly and on your way.

I'm not really looking for a bunch of beat downs. Lol. I've been driving for TA now as a company driver for almost a month now. So far I'm very happy here. All I know about their lease plan is you have to drive for them for 6 months before they will consider your qualified for their lease purchase. And that they have 3 different kinds of lease plan options. So far I'm impressed with the way they operate, and they have been treating me very well. I'm driving a nice 2015 Kenworth T-680, I get plenty of miles. If they run their lease plans like everything else I've seen here so far it might be worth looking into. I just wondered if there is anyone who has leased with them before, and what they thought about it?
I'm pretty certain I've finally found the company I'm going to stick with till I retire. I can buy a truck if I wanted one that bad. I have excellent credit and plenty of money for a down payment. I'm well aware most lease purchase plans are a ripoff. I'm just curious if anyone has ever done a lease purchase with TA and what their opinion of it was. I don't think this company is out to ripoff drivers. They actually do put the drivers first. It's not just a bunch of talk like most trucking companies are famous for.
