TransAm Trucking Benefits FAQ

Pros

Dispatch and roadside service was good.

Cons

Terrible benefits, no home time and when I took two days off made 25 dollars literally. Predatory leasing and yes it’s owned by Jacobson holding who own both Transam and lease one. Lies about making lots of money and being a premier company.

Advice to Management

Seek therapy and repent!

Pros

Good job, good pay, happy here

Cons

Health insurance Benefits aren't great

Pros

They get you on the road quickly, maintenance was easy to deal with

Cons

The pay was too low to operate successfully as a lease operator, barely enough to cover truck and insurance payments. Communication is terrible. Home time will kill your paycheck. No opportunity for advancement. They will do everything they can to keep you running 24/7, even if you need a break. Couldn't get any sleep on my 10 hour breaks with phone calls literally every 30 minutes. Some weeks were great, some were awful. 3,000 miles one week, 1,200 the next.

Advice to Management

Improve communication between night and day dispatch. Try to act like you care about the drivers.
