They have been pretty good to me keep me busy and any maintenance issues are taking care asap. Only complaint I have is that some office personnel should check paperwork before calling drivers asking questions. Plus with all the bad weather I was still able to make pretty good money. Very good company plus no one ever bother you.
If I could I would rate a zero star I would. If you're ready to be screwed over then bring some Vaseline so it doesn't hurt so much. They will charge you a 1000 dollars for no notice that you are quitting and two truck payments and then keep all your money in maintenance account and all your escrow money.

Then you pay a 60000 Dollar balloon payment at the end of your lease making you pay way more than the truck is worth the worse company ever. Run why you can. They claim freight rates have dropped
As drivers we know that reading reviews of truck companies isn't always the best way to judge a company because we tend to complain a lot. Well, this is an honest review form someone with over 8 years professional driving experience, most of which was lease purchase. Their "lease to lease" and "lease purchase" programs look good at first glance. But this company ONLY cares about profit. For instance they charge 20% for a cash advance, max of 200 a week. They told me this is their charge from EFS but i called EFS myself and they told me they charge companies 3% AT MOST. Not a big deal because i don't like taking cash advances anyway. BUT, my First week there, dispatcher booked me on a load that was supposed to pick up by 8pm on a friday. Arrived at 6pm to the shipper only to find that they had closed at 4pm. Tried to call my dispatcher, she had just gone on vacation for a week and told me to get with dispatch the next morning and they would find me a load. Called dispatch in the AM and asked for a load they reached back out to me 3 hours later and told me there weren't any loads and i would have to wait until monday. I got on DAT load board and showed them several loads going west, and also backhaul to get me back to midwest but they weren’t willing to send me west and instead wanted me to wait there in the truck till monday. i decided to DH 300 miles home. Monday morning i called and talked to the fleet manager and told him i need to be able to go wherever the money is and not be restricted or we need to end this contract now. He said ok but when you don't make money that's on you don't blame us. i also asked that since i would be negative that week because i didn't have a weekend load, could they spread that negative balance out so that i could at least get a few hundred dollars. Fleet manager agreed and told me to get with accounting. i did and accounting said that wouldn't be a problem. but when the settlement came out i was negative. called accounting and reminded them of the agreement and they said management denied it because i was too new. I should have left then. So now, choosing my own loads that dispatch would then book for me, i made 11,100 in gross the next week, and close to 10,000 the next. I was ok and thought things were looking up. But, the dispatcher had come back from vacation. I would show her a load something like: $3000 900 miles to dallas TX 15,000 lbs. She would say, oh that was booked so i booked something similar: $3000 1200 miles to Boston MA 44,999 lbs... No one that i encountered has english as their first language but in the trucking industry i dont understand how you could not see that this load is 30,000 lbs heavier, more miles and going to an area with expensive fuel and tolls.. not at all similar. and then, when i was negative because of their errors, they wouldn't even try to correct it. they would offer me a cash advance at that 20% fee. this is the only company that i have worked with that i do not recommend anyone even trying. look somewhere else. to top it off, they did not give me my last check, charged me $2000 for not giving 2 week notice even though i did and are saying that i owe them thousands of dollars that i do not owe.
This is the most disrespectful staff and people that I've never met in my life, they so unprofessional, speaking another language around you, the office is so dirty, this company is not recommended, stay away if you want to work and make money
Came in for a 1 day orientation that lasted 3 days and wasn't going to get paid until 2 weeks later👎🏽. You will be walking back and forth from the hotel to orientation daily.(YES WITH ALL YOUR BELONGINGS🤣1/4 MILE …
I’ve been with the company over 6 months now… absolutely feel supported on the road, 24/7… plenty of miles with excellent pay … any issues are handled right away by friendly & professional 24/7 support staff. My wife is traveling with me for a couple months now and loves it also. Joe
This place is absurd they threaten employees while pressuring them to take bad loads. They don’t care about the personal matters of the driver and neglect the drivers.
Big time scams. They sell salvage trucks with clean title. Stay away ya’ll Don’t be telling me that you don’t sell trucks. Ya’ll connected to each other. Repair shot, transportation service and the dealership are run under the same owner
Of course all trucking jobs start off great .. then it happens .. pay was great .. great equipment.. ok dispatcher.. lack of communication is there .. one day the company sends an email stating that the pay will be DECREASED.. pay day has changed .. a lot of unorganized things were going on at once .. almost like they were closing the doors .. over 85 percent of drivers quit .. . you can make money but you’re gonna run slot of miles .. and get hone when promised other than that TYPICAL trucking company.. yes they lie .. all trucking company do ..
I absolutely loved working here. If you want to run hard they have the miles. They work with you on what you need and they don’t micro manage if you do your job they do not bother you.
I am so happy working for Advance Transportation Systems. Management is so helpful and friendly. Equipment is well maintained and i am getting very good checks.
Its a great company team members are easy to get a long with, management are exceptional always there when you need them, nothing like uncomfortable environment been around these team players.
Friendly dispatch and management, I would like to work this company as long as possible. I will recommend everybody who interesting to be a company driver come over here and enjoy the friendly place.
I worked here for 3 months and I was paid .67 cents a mile then when Amazon slowed they reduced my pay to.60 cents a mile. I was always on time and would stay out 2 months at a time. They found some drivers that would work cheaper
I just love everything about my company. I hate that I have to leave. I’m going to miss them all, Dispatcher, maintenance, safety, and management. They also have newer equipment
While working there my dispatchers would not communicate with me but would solely communicate with my male co-driver. When and if I ever spoke with my dispatchers they would yell and use foul language. Orientation was very unprofessional and that should have been a red flag. I'm glad I didn't stay there long.
Good pay wonderful people and a great work environment good equipment always get home time all the miles you want will allow you to make more money and build a wonderful career
Eager pace, friendly staff and management, great training and good runs hometime is good and you can choose to stay our or go home weekly so that works great.
Everyone is so chill here, even the managers and everyone in the office what make the working day to go easy, no forced dispatch, ELD and still making good money.
