    Good company. I used to work for them. They got decent paying freight. I made money with them.My only issue was a lack of communication.

    Folks if you're thinking about doing lease purchase here DON'T. The system is setup for you to pay their taxes! All your earnings will go to truck trailer and fuel and you are doing nothing more than paying their taxes and they'll come after you for those taxes but I promise you they can keep selling my debt because they'll never get All of these reviews are not drivers If you get behind a week safety starts calling because they then sit and watch your cameras and they'll start calling you acting like ppl called in on you and I hav3 never been called in on and MIRACULOUSLY IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES THERE LOL Its seriously a SCAM They play this office trick there to telling you they have all their hubs but their dispatchers are all in 1 building but I sent their lease to a guy on YouTube and he's making a video the next day they phone spoof me from like Houston TX acting like I'm in debt 8 grand so I have reach our to quite a few ppl about their scam I paid in on escrow there and had insurance as well. I mean honestly these Lease Purchase companies need to exposed. I have actually wrote and notified letters! They're like those ppl In other countries playing that phone spoof game Go to a YouTube channel Bigrig Nation he goes over these companies Lease agreements And yes they have my agreement and we're going to see what kinda of ground these folks (TSH) are standing on....... And that company you are forced to do maintenance with oh they've got a good thing going on with TSH and every worker they got will forget to put caps on. I've got pictures of everything before and after and this dude I've contacted I'm hoping he can help me. Lease Purchase should be outlawed. I mean their agents all you are going to get is cheap freight

    Am an owner not LP, first off.... they tell you coming in how great everything is, typical recruiting. I had to bobtail out 1700 miles from west coast to get to orientation and have there bullshit outside shop nit pick every detail of my truck thats not very old, passing inspections but saying I gotta pay them 1400 in repairs, I did there little repair crap myself. At that point I should have seen the signs and went somewhere else, get going and im westcoast they saybill stay running but constantly can't get freight. Then they pull there stupid bulshit and watch your camera and continually call you and make you drive out to tennessee for a safety meeting with people who are 20yrs old and don't know #### about driving. Every month they did this ####, I told them im in my truck not thru your insurance and not an LP so quit the bullshit games. So 6 mo and they terminated my contract for guess what camera events, it was am excuse because I complained about freight in the area they said they had it. Too much deadhead, worked out to the same as loaded almost every week or trying to get you to take 1.30 a mile freight and that ain't happening. So find something else this ain't the place. A company that has 600 drivers and 6 to 12 a week in an orientation class do the math, thats a basic turnover of the fleet every year.........good luck if you try it but the micro management is completely insane when your an owner operator

    I worked for tsh for 6 yrs and I paid my truck off through my bank but these people are crooked.when you leave this company they will send you a bill they have manufactured up,I've seen the bills from 800 to 23k on lp equipment. It used to be a decent company but they promoted a dispatcher to the top of the food chain and his goal is to take care of his buddies that are still dispatchers.if you break down after hours there is a 75 $ charge for calling the after hours line,if you have a deduction they have to take out of your settlement they charge you $5 per deduction for doing their job..they only pay you the national avg fsc regardless what the shipper pays.if national avg is .40 and shipper pays .60 they keep the difference..I've personally seen 2 loads where they skimmed over 1k off the load.you pay for insurance on equipment but if it has to pay off tsh claims 100% of the claim and you have to start over in another lp from beginning. .if you buy equipment on day 1 and quit a week later and return all the equipment they will not give you credit for it instead they let a 3rd party shop take the equipment and sell it but will bill you for nearly 10k in equipment

    Staff is the worst and a guy named only looks out for his friends and family. They expect you to pay bribes for loads
