    The equipment was awful as was orientation. They don't let you read most of the paperwork you are signing and if you leave before you've worked there a certain amount of time they charge you for the orientation hotel and transportation. And you only get paid $150 for two days of it anyway. They won't provide comchecks to their drivers despite having shippers and receivers that REQUIRE a comchecks. They literally tell you to beg other drivers and truck stops to give them to you because they are too cheap to provide them. The equipment/trucks are old, all super single tires, and the shop is a joke and you can only get repairs at their single terminal shop

    It's time for you to go home,but they will send you the opposite way. You will make very little money. One of the worst companies out there. Judy doesn't like to pay her bills, either

    Been with the company for more then 10 years Up until about a year ago. The company was decent ..dispatch and planers keep saying freight is not good ..if this is really the case then why do we keep bringing new drivers in every week ?? Wouldn't it make sense to keep your current drivers moving ??

    I had worked for this company for 10 years. Run, if you're a trainee it's a start however, the trainers are not trainers and the safety dept Mike S. Is a complete joke. I have evidence that would ruin this company and I could sue . It used to be a good company but those days are long gone. They no longer care nor even pretend to.

    I am a current employee of Butler transport. All these people crying about home time and miles and money are cry baby's and full of crap. In order to make money you need to be on time and keep the wheels turning, I made 80,000 dollars last year with decent home time. I been driving a truck sense 1983. Guarantee the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. Don't always believe what other people's company's tell you.
