Promised average of $1500 a week per driver, until you commit to going to orientation, when they send out a new email stating that you will only be making $150 a day until you have your Security clearance forms filled out and sent into their office (which is not a secured location), $55 a day is per diem, (they count that in the pay you receive at the end of the next week. So basically you are making $95 a day. Sitting every weekend. My team driver and I were sent on solo driver loads or loads that were less than 1,000 miles. We got our truck on July 14th with 25 miles. Turned in our truck a month later with 9,500 miles. I was expecting to drive at the very least 3,000 miles a week. Other teams were up to 17,000 miles. However getting $95 a day, I'm sort of glad we didn't bust our butts.
Also, be warned that if you quit or get fired, Arizona state law states that this company has the right to keep your last paycheck and say that it's going to the hiring process, flying you to Arizona, putting you up in a hotel for the week of orientation, paperwork that needs processed for hiring you and whatever else they deem fit for using your paycheck.
Our DM was not very knowledgeable in the company as only being there for a few months. Any time we asked him or anyone else questions about things, we got the run around. We were told several times that we needed to call someone else at extension X. If they are all in the same building, why should a driver have to take more time to call another desk to get an answer that the DM should know? At the very least, he would benefit himself with getting the answer for himself and the drivers. But no, I guess they don't work that way. He also mentioned something that seemed very odd, I drove as long as I could one night after being up all day at 2 different shippers and needed a rest, it was not yet time for my co-driver to get up. So I laid down. 4 hours later, both of our phones were being blown up by someone in the office. He also wrote a few not-so-nice QUALCOMM messages yelling at us, asking why we were sitting. My co-driver called our DM and let him know that I wasn't physically able to keep driving all night. Our DM, said, "Oh, so you're going to use the Safety Card, huh?" I'm sorry, but our load was hazardous waste, would he have rather me ran off the road and had an accident. I thought I was doing the right thing by being safe. I have never in my trucking career ever been told I was making a poor choice when pulling over.
*They don't pay for layovers either (though they know the drivers will be sitting at certain customers all day)
*They don't respond til the end of the day for important messages sent via QUALCOMM.
* They will fight you on every reimbursement that you pay out of pocket. They require you to have a smart phone so that you can send info via an APP called DriveAxle. Which they claim they don't get half of the paperwork you send in, even though it was sent as soon as the load was delivered on most occasions.
PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS COMPANY FOR A JOB. You will be wasting your life.
