| |  Questionable actions of some trucking companies
If this or a related type post has been posted somewhere, sometime, please move it to its proper location.
Beware Of These Trucking Companies
JB Hunt [Lowell, AR] JB Hunt does NOT pay drivers layover for sitting on weekends. If their drivers sit all 48 hours on the weekend away from his/her family, they don't get a dime.
CR England [Salt Lake City, UT] Many drivers have complained about CR England stating they do not pay their lease operators properly. Drivers have stated that they will rip you off. Beware if you lease onto CR England! Drivers have heard bad news about CR England for years.
CR ENGLAND RIP OFF REPORTS
Werner Enterprises [Omaha, NE]
Drivers have stated MANY safety concerns with Werner Enterprises. Many seen Werner drivers in orientation sitting for a week or even more waiting to get a truck after they are DONE. They have some SERIOUS problems. There have been many complaints about Werner. Werner Enterprises Rip Off Report
Covenant Transport [Chattanooga, TN] Covenant Transport's driver trainers have stated that instead of training the new drivers they will instead make the trainer run the truck as a team which could endanger a lot of people. Covenant Transport has a VERY bad reputation among MOST drivers and it is suggested NOT to work for them and especially not to be trained by them! They have such an enormous turnover that this is what they almost have to do to keep making any money. Covenant Rip Off Report
Eagle Motor Lines | Southern Cal [Birmingham, AL]
Drivers have stated that Southern Cal Transport makes drivers falsify logs and violate hours of service rules. These drivers have also reported them to the DOT who have apparently done nothing. Drivers state that they DO have them recorded on tape telling them to run illegal. Driver was then FIRED because the boss caught him recording the illegal directives.
Swift [Phoenix, AZ] In the recent months there have been a myriad of drivers complaining about this company. Who really knows what is going on at Swift but many drivers say they have cheated them, ran shoddy equipment, blatantly told drivers to lie on logs, not reimbursed tolls, etc. Recently Swift has turned their trucks up to 65 mph to try and plug the hemorrhage of drivers leaving the company. Beware of dealing with this company. Swift Transportation Rip Off Report UPDATE: Swift stock downgraded by analyst because of their treatment of drivers, company structure and low pay!
Moskowitz Motor Transportation [Plainfield, NJ]
People have stated that this company stopped paying benefits, has poor equipment, does not deliver freight, doesn't pay overtime and much more.
US Xpress Enterprises [Chattanooga, TN] US Xpress Enterprises has had a few reports against them stating drivers were stranded, hung out to dry, etc...
US Xpress Enterprises Rip Off Report
Prime Inc [Springfield, MO]
Many people have seen this company literally run drivers into the ground! They consistently keep a bad reputation among drivers. A common joke when hearing of a trucker in the ditch is, "was it a Prime?". The state of Wyoming is considered the "Prime truck burial ground" as so many of their trucks have been inserted into the ditch there. I suggest you think HARD before going to Prime Inc of Springfield, MO.
See what government safety rating any trucking company has here. Stop working for these companies and they will HAVE to change or go out of business!

I liked Crete but didn't make enough money on their midwest regional division to suit me and they keep drivers out up to 3 weeks on the national side (not a good way to be a family man).

I had considered Crete in '02 however they stated that I would as well pull Reefers because of Schaffer and that while on home time, I would be required to check on the Reefer Temp daily (when loaded).
I politely declined.
