Covenant Transportation Reviews

Pros

Great starter company with lots of benefits.

Cons

No guarantees for exact miles or loads.

Pros

Not a difficult company to get started in because recruiters are just securing their own financial stability. Decent equipment. Communication isnt great but it is far from bad. Have yet to experience forced dispatch. They have the accounts to keep you moving.

Cons

Dont expect to make money as a truck driver here, what ever salaries you find on their sites or told by a recruiter take 30%-50% off. To make the most money you will have zero home time, pushing your 70 to the max. Depending on your W-4, allowances, and benefit elections; after taxes you will be making $600-$900/week all dependent to how long you're waiting for live load/unloads

Pros

The job is both challenging and rewarding, and you can feel the impact you have on both the drivers and customers if you do a good job. The industry is fast paced and solving the puzzles it presents is fun. On the whole, the people on the floor are fun to work with. I’d work here again if the opportunity presented itself.

Cons

-Management. There is a huge disconnect between management and the rest of the ops floor, and at times you can feel undervalued and like your growth and advancement isn’t important -Pay. There are many other carriers that will pay a significant amount more to perform the same job. -Talent. Covenant doesn’t prioritize hiring experienced people in the industry and doesn’t value training them properly, so they end up with many under qualified and under trained people on the floor, which has a huge trickle down effect.

Pros

Not a single good thing about this company

Cons

There are so many to list it is hard to find a spot, I guess the best thing to mention is they do not pay what they promise, on average you can expect to make $400 a week if you're lucky most weeks, over a month I only made $900 (before taxes) to put it into perspective. They rather have people sitting than getting miles to make money. When you mention anything to them they treat you like you don't matter and don't know what you're talking about, even if you have proof they try and undermine it. The list goes on and on, but just do yourself a favor and stay away. I truly do not recommend this company to anyone, stay far away.

Pros

Lots of miles. Good pay if your a team driver. Dispatch is okay. Safety staff is okay. By the book with elogs

Cons

Little to no pay if not teamed. Need hazmat endorsement. Force dispatch. Rules for off duty drive are a bit odd
