    Nice quiet place for employees to drop and hook as well as take a 10 hour break. However, the showers need some work. You can not have 1 shower in the one bathroom for men and women. People like to pop the lock and enter at will.

    West Side Transport is a great place to be a driver. I'm home every weekend as a TNX dedicated driver. Simply here getting PM work done on my truck.

    Worst truck drivers that can not back up a trailer to the dock. Drivers almost cause accidents on a daily basis. Company is slow and not productive.

    TruckersReport Review

    Recruiters were not honest about anything. Trip pay only counts if you have a load. If you are empty you only get 40 some cents a mile. Having to search for empties (even if you have to drive to a customer lot somewhere to search), get fuel do not get paid. Trailer reposition pay for moving a trailer won't be paid. Breakdown pay? Forget it. Delay pay? Always an excuse...the appt time was xhr, West side doesn't pay less than 30 min of delay pay after giving up an hour (which means you are giving up an hour and half instead of an hour) . Waiting for next job assignment to return to terminal forever. So...that means you sit not making money. Couldn't even get a tractor tire at the minimum replaced unless I took to garage and waited an hour or 2. I guess I have to stand (unpaid) and watch them replace the tire. I don't like having my time wasted. This place wastes so much of it you only make maybe $24 an hour. There are much better companies to work for that treat you fairly.
