Smith Transport Employer Reviews

Great company to work for, great equipment. You don't sit long waiting for a load

Smith Transport was one of the best places I have ever worked. The schedule was great, with four day weekends every other week. The environment was busy but relaxed in attitude. If mistakes were made, no one was blamed, all the people worked together to fix the problem.

Very good place to work. Always keeps the family in mind Very good place to work, Family atmosphere, very good place to drive for

Alot of driving, always learning something new about the industry,even about myself.
Some of the best team managers I've ever had the chance to work with.
The hardest part about this job was being away from home for long periods of time.
The most enjoyable part of the job was like any other job to me, it was seeing a task through from start to finish – more... and the satisfaction upon completion – less

load ,unload shippments daily. hopping to get back to work soon this was one of my better job i've ever had.

It all starts out nice. But when you go to the terminal in roaring springs,be prepared to sit from 24 to 36+ hrs.or more maybe even the whole weekend.You wont get a new truck you get a 2007-2008. With a lot of miles.Truck i was issued had 365,000 1} you wont get paid for it .which you lose time on the road. and money.2} When they {the shop}wont fix – more... what you wrote up. As to what was wrong on the truck.depending on how old it is.My first three weeks my truck. broke down twice on the road.I lost 7 days an there again,NO MONEY.And if you do go to this terminal for repairs. You will sit and wait for a load out. Don't get hurt on the job either. You will get kicked out of the truck no matter were you are.And a driver will bring you to the closest terminal. There you will have to find your own way home. And that's the management.My DM was sad for me as to what they did. Which he was the only person who gave a dam about me as a person. Not a driver. – less

Every company has it's good and bad points. Good points: you can make good money if you want to hustle. A good relationship with your DM and he wll move mountains for you.
Bad points: Shop procedures need improvement, but they DO keep the equipment in good shape. There is NO communication within the company. Your ONLY point of contact is your DM. (the – more... shop can't talk to safely, who can't talk to customer service etc.
Overall, I like them. I've been there 3 1/2 years. BTW, I'm on vacation in Jeju island South Korea as I write this, so I make enough to get out of town. – less

The water truck division provides top quality equipment and the opportunity to be at home often.
