    "Best intermodal place out there for owners. They pre-dispatch you and have private chassis. They have a lot of freight and really keep you moving."

    Scam company, refuses to pay detention after 2 hours of wait time. Not transparent about your deductions and no real fuel surcharge.

    Safety and security are also concerns. The Dallas yard has experienced significant theft issues, including the reported theft of numerous CPC units, raising questions about security measures in place. I hope management takes driver concerns seriously and works toward greater fairness, transparency, communication, and security. Drivers are the backbone of the operation and deserve to be treated with respect and consistency.

    These jokers...I've never had any company try to steal my money as much as they did. They tried to charge me for their blown tires multiple times. And when I refused, they just cut my contract. They don't give a rats ### about you. They just want you to move their loads. If you don't play ball, they have 10 other applicants who don't know anything about the company to take your place.

    The best place for owner ops that value home time and money. The have grown a lot so if you are in a new terminal be patient and they will be a giant there. They have 500 owners just in Houston alone and are the dominant player.

    I want share my experience with you as a former employee of GWII. This company does not allow you the opportunity to get fully trained and prove yourself. My elderly mother became very Ill one week before I accepted the position. They claim to be a Christian based company, yet I went to my supervisor asking for an additional hour off each day so I could attend my mother's physical therapy sessions with her. My supervisor wanted me to step down and take another position. I called her back to advise her my wife and my brother would take care of my mother. She then stated she does not think it will work because of my personal issues. What personal issues, my mother is dying. They proclaim to have a company based on Christian core values. How can you treat someone like this who has not even completed their training? I would think twice before accepting a position from this organization knowing what I know now.
