Covenant Logistics

Their driver took me out at a rest area in Knoxville, Arkansas, while I was sleeping. Which in return put me out of commission truck was in the body shop for a little over three weeks, which means no income, but the truck payments still kept coming and this company act like they don’t need to pay for a owner operators downtime and lost revenue caused by their driver been sending emails after emails and letters, and they refuse to respond, which is so many words tells me they could care less that I had three weeks of lost revenue and fell behind on truck payment again caused by their driver, horrible owner operators. Stay clear of these guys at all costs because they will not take care of you even when it is proven that they were at fault

If you are a new driver with less than 6 months experience…. DO NOT COME HERE! I’m going to give an honest review here. Some praising, and some cons. But it’s mostly Cons. Now, I’ve driven before and waited a couple years to late to have certified experience, so I had to start over; trained with a trainer who was very much concerned with moving (you make your trainer money when you move), so if you still decide to choose Covenant, do not be afraid to make them teach you the ropes of trucking. And if you don’t like em after a couple days, tell your dispatch to get you another trainer. Trust me, you won’t get fired. Another thing, when I first got to Covenant I thought it was odd and cool that there were so many black people working there. I saw a lot of black faces just sitting around. Now, I can’t speak for non-black people, but myself. And what I thought was a good thing, turned out to be misleading. They have a lot of us, and they take advantage of a lot of us. Most people who looked like me fspeaking specifically as a black person working there), we were waiting for trucks and trainers for weeks. When you get there, you have 3 day orientation, then you wait weeks to get a trainer, then after a month with you trainer, some came back to Chattanooga to wait again for trucks. Now, i’m not saying that other people of different races didn’t have to wait either, but the majority of drivers that flooded the Covenant Hotel and the Covenant lounges were majority black/carribeans and Africans. Most of the Haitians they hired (Not disrespecting any Haitians) you could tell did not have a well defined understanding of the language. And I point that out to emphasize Covenant Logistics/Transports motives. They know that most black people and immigrants let things slide. They understand the psychology around that, and a lot of the things I heard, dispatch was either downright rude to these drivers, or relied on their ignorance to delay either pay, or didn’t pay them. Because I was considered a “student driver” even though I had experience years ago, they TRIED doing the same to me, but I always protested, and protested correctly. But, for any black person (male or female), or immigrant of black descent; do not come to this company. They come off as a “Christian” based company. But remember it’s also the south. These same southerners thought slavery was christian based too. Not saying this company is racist, but when it comes to there black drivers…. LOOK AROUND and tell me the majority of people you see waiting on a truck or a trainer. Like I said, I can’t speak for non-black people, and this company may fit you. But if you’re black (male or female), they’ll screw you over. Also they’re Covenant Hotels are roach infested, dirty and grimy. Here are pictures of the Covenant Hotel entrance. This is your introduction to the place. BEWARE!!!!!!
