    Im a current Driver here, this is also my 2nd time around this time. this time i have been here just under a year. My biggest complaint is the communication between the shop and dispatchers. Trucks are alright, Pay is alright could be better. To really make money here you need to do atleast 2,900 Miles and 2 Tarps. But they seem to make it hard to reach that, your more then likey going to be at about 2,200-2,400 miles i believe it so that they wont trigger the extra bonus you get at 2500 miles and again at 2750 miles. I have not had an issue in making it home on time

    Been here over 6 years. Its been a good ride for the most part. Pay has always been consistent ill give them that. 1400 -1600 net take home after everything. Lately this seems to have reduced slightly to 1300-1450ish net after taxes. Miles have also went down but this is probably due to loads. Usually youll do a couple shorter loads 400-800 miles on either coast then a long load 2k miles plus coast to coast and this is where its butter and sliced bread. However this seems to have changed over the past year after they bought out a smaller company and the main corporation was also bought out. So far this year 2 of the best coaches have quit. Also the east coast planner david left he was dope. Since then it hasent been as good as it once was but looking at other companies its still better than 90%... They do need to get rid of a certain coach though he has serious anger issues or something.

    I would not recommend this company. Even though they said they will not watch you on the inward camera until you trigger an event and that is a lie. They are always watching you and will try to puppet you. They expect you to bow down to them and will ruin your background check if you leave that company.

    Bad management and they will try to puppet you. They will ruin your background checks if you do not bow down to them. Inward camera is always watching you. They will watch you even though you did not trigger an event.

    The driver help is very knowledgeable and they will take as much time as you need to help you out. When it comes time to pay drivers for their time, or having drivers work for free this company is one of the worst offenders.

    Probably one of the best flatbed companies in the business. Heavy tarps though compared to others. If I didn't have to tarp I would definitely still be there. All the miles you need and they get you home every time.

    I worked here during the 'Glory Years' as I like to call them. Before the company sold out to Daske and when they made the Top Companies to Drive for several years in a row (Notice how they can't make the list now). It was a great, fair company. Now that they've sold out and have the safety net of a large company backing them they can do things they would have never done before. Like treating their drivers like property instead of drivers. There is no "Dispatcher" at this company and you don't have a Driver Manager. You have a Driver Coach. Which used to mean something. They used to say things like 'This is how you can do better' and would try to help you improve as a driver but now it's just negativity. They would rather harass you and micro manage you. Call you after you've been in the sleeper for 11 hours asking why you're not moving yet. "If you leave now and drive hard you can probably make it there before they close and they'll unload you tonight! I already looked and you'll have enough hours to drive to the shipper to night for this next load tomorrow morning". They will keep pushing you to run harder because they need to make some mileage quota that the boss can take to Daske. He needs that bonus to pay for more toys like that giant F350 he parks out front. They expect you to drive out all your hours and run recap doing short 500 mile runs. Tarping and untarping at each one. *** They've installed inside facing cameras and they take great pleasure in watching them and "Monday morning quarterbacking" *** They will call you and criticize you for every little thing that happens, regardless of fault. Someone cut you off? Well it's your fault for not slowing down enough. They will also abuse them. I've walked in on them mocking and laughing at another drivers on the camera. Everything from what they're listening to to what they're wearing. If you quit, they will also do everything they can to make it difficult for you to find another job. They'll write up every little thing as an 'Accident' so when your next employer contacts them for verification they'll get something saying you had 12 accidents and of course your application is immediately thrown in the trash. If they don't then COTC isn't afraid of making false claims like 'He started a fight at a customer' or 'We caught him stealing things' or anything else to make the driver look bad. The sad thing is, because most truck drivers are scum and people just aren't honorable anymore they're more likely to trust the company's words over the new hire. I would too, most truck drivers are pigs who would lie about anything to get new job. Sadly the few who aren't suffer from this. For time off, it's mandatory that you take your home time on a Friday. Home time is usually Friday till Wednesday morning. They do this so that people can't waste a week of time at home since loading places are not open on Weekends. Lastly, because it's a small company there is a group of but kissers or 'Elite Fleet' drivers. They will try to act like your friend but as soon as your back is turned they'll tell Br - - everything you said. They will also take pictures of your truck/load or anything else and send it in too. The male management tends to act like more like a fraternity. This is especially noticeable at the yearly driver appreciation party. A few good things about the company. They've divided up the US into different segments and depending on where you are, is who you call if you have any loading issues. I would say this is actually a major pro when compared to other companies because there's no DM middle-man. You're talking to the person at the company who is directly involved with where ever you're loading/delivering to. This may have changed, but another major pro is there was/is one main shop manager you call if you have issues. This is really nice if you have issues or your truck is having multiple issues because you don't have to talk to some minimum wage desk clerk who only cares about your driver number. The shop guys here are jerks just like the ones at every other company but at least the main guy in the office is extremely nice and helpful. Thanksgiving / Christmas are (or were) Mandatory Home Time days. Which is good and bad. Good because you're home for the holiday but also bad because 'at home' usually means just for that day or they got you on a route through the house.
