I would look elsewhere
Line Haul Driver (Former Employee) – Kansas City, KS – April 7, 2018
Run 500+ miles a night and then they require you to work the dock until you reach your 14 hour mark. It makes it hard to get enough rest to safely make it through the night. I'll be gone soon.
Pros
Decent pay checks, good drivers to work with, new tractors and forklifts
Cons
Hours, dock time, terminal manager, dock it self is falling apart.
Join the team!
Linehaul Driver (Current Employee) – Toledo, OH – April 24, 2018
Central Transport has been a good place to work. We just got new trucks, new trailers, and best of all, a pay increase. Don't believe the bad reviews that you see elsewhere.
Pros
pay increase, new trucks
Cons
No direct deposit
Very competetive rate of pay
Road Driver (Current Employee) – Charlotte, NC – April 20, 2018
When I began working for Central Transport I was offered a $1500 sign on bonus. I was shocked and impressed with the amount and what little time was required. Since then the sign on bonus has increased to $5000 and the company has remained consistent with our pay increases. I've worked for other companies with similar benefits, but this company puts a lot of effort towards making the employees happy.
Pros
New Equipment, sign on bonus
Cons
No vision coverage
Line haul Driver
Linehaul driver (Current Employee) – Hillside, IL – April 20, 2018
Central Transport has been good to me from the start of day 1. It is a very simple job that pays very well. You get your same run every night, the loads are always ready for you, and your home everyday. I would recommend working here to anybody.
Pros
Good Pay, Good Terminal Manager, Home time
Cons
No vision insurance
Linehaul Driver
Linehaul Driver (Current Employee) – Toledo, OH – April 20, 2018
As a linehaul driver at the Toledo terminal, things are much better that most of the reviews I read before being hired on. Central Transport got me off of an OTR run and home every day! The pay is great and we are paid every week. The terminal manager cares about the people we have working here. Working the dock helps break the day up instead of just sitting in the truck all day. This place is on the rise and you would not regret being a part of it.
Pros
Home daily, paid weekly
Cons
No direct deposit
city driver
City Driver (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – April 19, 2018
Nashville terminal is great place to work management treats everyone like family. Terminal just received new 2018 tractors. Job is fast paced usually start day around 9am and finish around 7pm making pickups and deliveries.
Pros
new trucks, good pay
Cons
no vision insurance
Great Company that cares!
City Driver/Dock Worker (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – April 18, 2018
I am a city driver and usually work 11-12 hours per day and work the dock. It is consistent and hard work but it compensates by having most weekends off since we rotate every other Saturday which it gives us more hours which equals more money!
Pros
Plenty of hours and the hourly rate is very good. Since is a combinatin position, we don't get bored just driving and give us time to load/unload trucks (forklift)
Cons
Benefits can improve and have vision plan. OT after 55hrs
Management is difficult
Worker (Current Employee) – Buffalo, NY – April 18, 2018
Inconsistent and a harsh lack of accountability. Too many chiefs. Logistic nightmare. Poor equipment but mainly due to the issue of accountability. Loss of reality in the corporate office.
Horrible work place
Line Haul Truck Driver (Current Employee) – Charlotte, NC – April 18, 2018
This was the worst job I've had. U work 72hrs a week. After driving they make u work the dock till your 14hrs is up then want u right back when your 10hr reset is up. Trucks are slow and horrible as well as working on the outside dock in any type of weather.
Pros
Great co-workers
Cons
Everything about this job..
Awesome Company to Work For!
Line Haul Driver (Current Employee) – Aurora, IL – April 13, 2018
I can finally be able to spend time with me family everyday thanks to Central Transport. No longer doing OTR because I was offered a Line Haul position which has me home everyday. The pay is great and the trucks and equipment are new. My manager and coworkers are cool guys to work with and I see myself being able to retire with Central!
Pros
Weekly Pay, Home everyday
Cons
No direct deposit
Great place to work
Linehaul Driver (Current Employee) – Charlotte, NC – April 13, 2018
I run linehaul each night. I'm home everyday and have weekends off. I usually work about 10-12 hours a day, but I get a great paycheck each week. Also just got brand new tractors at terminal.
Pros
Home daily, weekends off, good paycheck
Cons
Vision Insurance
dangerous equipment, long hours a lot of unpaid time.
Road Driver (Former Employee) – Sparks, NV – April 10, 2018
Do you like hauling illegal trailers with brake and light issues?
Do you like working for no pay?
Do you like when your company just removes money from your check and doesn't tell you why?
Well Central Transport is right for you then, the equipment is not maintained so if you want to drive something safe and legal you have to take it to the shop for no pay, when you break down you have to sit there for no pay, when you wait for another driver to arrive to swap trailers you do it for....NO PAY. Oh and benefits are a joke basically you are paying for nothing.

Line haul driver
Line Haul Driver (Current Employee) – Hillside, IL – April 6, 2018
Road drivers can make a lot of money here at central, easily 1500+ every week. Plus driving at night is easy because there’s no traffic. Also if you want more hrs there’s plenty of work and the new trucks are great.
Pros
Great money and new equipment
Cons
Docks can get cold but definitely worth the pay
Great company to work for
Line Haul Driver (Current Employee) – Ft. Worth, TX – April 6, 2018
As a line haul driver I come in at a set schedule and do a turn for about 600 miles total, then go home. It is a set schedule so I can actually plan stuff with my family in the weekends since I have the weekends off! That is the best!
Pros
As a line haul driver I get a steady check as well a fix schedule and most of all weekends off!
Cons
No vision insurance
