Low pay, low miles, long waits, poor communication
Truck Driver (Former Employee), Van Buren, AR – May 8, 2012
Pros: paid training, newer equipment
Cons: poor communication, low pay, low miles
Went thru company sponsored CDL training, which entails a one year obligation and $0.26 per mile pay. During intial company training I was not kept busy, more than 34 consecutive hours off multiple times a week sitting in the truck waiting for a dispatch. If between 4pm and 9am CST or a weekend forget about getting a load assignment. Enjoyed the driving – more... portion of the job, equipment was decent, trying to get maintenance was barely acceptable. Communication with dispatch was poor. Would've stayed but couldn't afford to live on 1200mi per week or take constantly waiting with no estimation of when next load would be. Payed more than I made to part with this company. – less
Just as one would expect froma trucking company. You spend a lot of time on the road. The pay and benefits are both pretty good, but you dont really get the time to enjoy them.
Operations Manager Internship (Former Employee), Van Buren, AR – April 18, 2012
My time with USA Truck was a good learning experience. This was my first corporate job it helped me understand the business. At the time I was going to school for logistics and I my goal was to learn as much about the industry as possible. I did many different things ranging from customer service to account management. I would make sure all of goodyears – more... shipments were handled correctly and on time. The hardest part of the job was trying to get as much information as I could about the industry in just 3 months since it was a summer internship. The most enjoyable part of the job was having all the responsibility of goodyears account and being successful at it. – less
Poor Management, No intercompany support or backing, overall disappointment
Account Manager (Former Employee), Springdale, AR – March 18, 2012
Pros: good co-workers, nice equipment, competetive pay, nice work enviroment and facilities
Cons: no company loyality, upper management pathetic, no support or motivation, benefits are rather poor, over all disappointment
There was no company motivation or support from management. They watched over your every move like a hawk and the minuet you began to start making progress with customers or signing on new accounts they immediately infiltrate and eventually take control of your customers leaving you right back at square one after all fo the months of hard work and time – more... yoiu had invested in each customer. They is no reqard for sucess only punishment and harrasement. – less
