    I work with this trucking company in Lemont for 2 years now. The company is very good and treats drivers with respect. Dispatch is helpful and always answers the phone. Loads are steady and pay is on time. I feel comfortable working here and I recommend this company to other drivers

    I've been driving for this company for over a year, and it's been one of the best decisions of my career. Dispatch is respectful, organized, and actually listens when you have concerns, understands of the weather conditions and difficulties I had. The equipment I have is fine, 2023 with 300k mileage, clean, and reliable, which makes long days on the road much easier. They value safety and driver input which is rare these days.

    I currently work with State Express Inc. and overall I'm having a positive experience. Management is respectful, communication is good, and I consistently make solid income each week. Pay is reliable and fair - around $2,500 weekly depending on miles and hours. I appreciate the stable loads and the support I get from dispatch. Thank you!
