Pros

There were a few nice people there, whom I liked.

Cons

EXTREMELY STRESSFUL environment to be in. The owner is a raging egomaniac who is prone to explode at his employees at the drop of a dime. I saw him berate and humiliate more than one person and everyone there seems to walk around on eggshells. I recruited several good truckers of whom which we brought in to town, only to have them leave after experiencing the culture there and meeting the owner Jay Wallis. If you value your health and sanity, do not work for this organization. I left the company of my own accord on short notice because I simply could not take being around the owner any longer. Of course I was owed thousands of dollars in commissions at the time but was never paid. I spoke with dozens of truckers who were previously employed by Ray Hamilton, who shared their horror stories about the owner, getting screwed out of money and general frustrations. The owner actually walks around with a conceal and carry firearm because he is paranoid about disgruntled past employees coming to get him. I would not have believed it if it wasn't discussed after one of the mass shootings that had just happened and he admitted it.

Pros

There is absolutely nothing good about this company.

Cons

The owner is an ego maniac, narcissistic, money hungry, micro-manager who does not care about his employees in any sense of the word. If you are a driver looking for a job, DO NOT GO HERE. He will raise your escrow, deduct money from your account, charge you for accident repair instead of submitting it to insurance, etc. He will promise you the world and will never follow through on it. If you are an office associate, be prepared to have your salary cut in half with no explanation and have that change in salary back dated to work done under the previous pay scale. The atmosphere in the office is tense and fearful because the owner, James "Jay" Wallis, will yell, degrade, talk down to, and throw things just because he's in a bad mood or something didn't go his way.

Pros

There is unlimited growth opportunity and drivers are paid as well as employees way above the industry standard as long as they do their job negative reviews I have seen were left by drivers who quit while under a load Or incapable of doing the job they were hired for

Cons

You need to actually be capable of doing what you were hired to do
