Butler Transport

Used to work here. Was a great place to work with great and up to date equipment. If you do your job, no one bothers you, but they treat you very well.

My good friend, Steve Bond, referred me to Butler Transport. This is the best reference I've ever gotten! Butler is a great family trucking business! I finished their orientation and start driving today, Sept 28, 2019. Use me as a reference! See you on the road! God bless!

This is the best company I've ever worked for. I've read a lot of these awful reviews, but after being with this company since 2016, I refuse to switch. I will be with Butler until the day I come off the road. Yes, every company has its problems, but I have been treated very well by this company in the time that I've spent here. It's a LOT better than simply being no more than a piece of mechanical equipment as many of the other, bigger companies will view you. They know me as a person and I actually feel valued here. There is no other company for me.

At this point I have no positive remarks I was told I was hired had orientation set up and the day before I go in to start Mike Watson who's not even my recruiter tells Me that I am no longer approved right after I quit my last job and so on. I was given 0 reasons why they did this!

Honest straight forward company, Great management team

This company has many ways to cheat you out of getting paid correctly. The lady in payroll had a very bad attitude and gets off on saving the company money while you lose out on money that’s owed to you. They will tell you whatever to get you in the door and after that will use you as much as possible. They act friendly at first but when it comes to what’s owed to you talk very unprofessional to you. I do not recommend working for this company at all!

My brother got a job driving for them. He messed up and did something he needed to be fired for. They refused to let him get his stuff out of the truck. They told him he could pick it up the next day. When he called to make arrangements their story changed. I’m not saying my brother is perfect, but he just got out of prison after 8 years and what he had in that truck along with my dead grandmothers suitcase which is the only thing he got, it’s ALL gone. Every article of clothing… gone.

Butler is a good start your career company. The only true down side is the pay. You’ll get maybe 1800-2400(if that miles a week. It’s disappointing to be away from your family that your trying to provide for and your not making enough money. Their checks look like a regular 9-5 check if you add up 2 weeks of pay, mind you every Friday is pay day. You’ll be luck to see a $800 check. I made more at my last job, not using my CDL. Detention pay isn’t given from this company and when you ask for layover pay, they’ll send it to you but they’ll take it out of your check without disclosing it with you. My DM wasn’t that good to be honest. The upside about Butler is … What can I say🤷‍♂️ ( It’s a job), the people are nice but you can tell the office gossip with each other, and your not just a number there. My recruiter was truthful I will at least say that. I won’t knock Butler but PLEASE pay your drivers more, you have the money to do so. They are OTR to provide for their families, not stress out about how bad there checks look on🙁 Friday. The loads are pathetic

I worked here for 3 years after having my CDL for over 20 years. While life on the road is never fun, I really enjoyed working here. I left for family issues, but I absolutely miss it here. Literally everyone I came in contact with was great. I miss y'all so very much. I mean that. When I can come back, I will.

Was a good place to start my trucking career but there was no incentive for me to stay once I got experience. Pay is average, benefits were inferior to others. Layover pay was not promised and handled on a case by case basis.

Recently hired. Everyone is friendly. Pay is o.k. but I am brand new to driving and this is a good starting company. I don't have much else to say now.

great place to work. Miles are not the best but you will get about 2500 miles a week. Dispatchers are okay. The maintenance shop gets you in pretty quick. There trucks are nice and clean. The staff is nice and friendly .

This company is okay to work for. Dispatchers and planners do an okay job. Equipment is not that great but they will fix minor problems at the terminal. Average miles are about 2000-2500 a week but some weeks you may see more. They have longer mile loads but most of them have to much time on them before they deliver. They do not pay detention pay.would suggest this company starting out but after that I would look elsewhere.

This company is a great place to work. They remember you by name and treat you like family. I never had any alterations, issues, or felt left out. I did my job and they had my back. Good pay and offer home time

I loved working here. The people were great and they generally left me alone unless I needed them. Night dispatch is hit or miss on wether or not they would answer the phone if you needed them. Miles could have been more consistent but they weren't bad. I would still be there today if I had not had a family emergency and needed to be home for a while.

What is the best part of working at the company? There’s nothing good at all about working for Butler Transport What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Everything about this company is stressful What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Terrible, this company is all over the place from the office to the planners and dispatch What is a typical day like for you at the company? Stressful and tiresome. They’re never prepared for anything and they hate to pay

This is a great starter. Though If you go home often you won’t make any money . Treat us like family , though miles inconsistent . I say get you experience here in then plan accordingly. Unless you are completely comfortable here I can see why .

I've been with Butler for 5 months almost 6 and have made only 1 $1300 check. I've proved that I can run my butt off IF they provide the miles. They don't though. They've capped me on miles so how can I become a top driver? Start at 39c a mile plus 13 cpm per diem which is horrible and makes it difficult to acquire the 60000 miles you need to obtain a raise. They make it seem like if you stay out longer you can make a bigger paycheck but that's false. It hasn't been totally bad but it hasn't been great because they weren't transparent about a lot of the driver benefits. It's a good start but nowhere to stay for a driving career. Insurance is expensive, no 401(k), layover pay is hard to obt, and not a lot of miles. I'll be moving on soon..

It’s a great place to start your career off at and good decent trucks. Training is a 160 hours. They good on getting your truck fixed. The average miles is between 2300 to 2500 miles a week.

What is the best part of working at the company? They make you pay for your drug screening out of your check and you don’t get paid for orientation until you’re on the truck with your trainer plus you only get $114.29 per day regardless of how many hours you drive to complete your requirement of 160 hrs of training. Overall you’re making them money while training and struggling to survive while out OTR. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Knowing that your entire paycheck is going towards food for the 3 weeks you’re on the road and not being able to take care of home while out. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Pushy, immediately hiring with no interview. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Working as expected but the pay lingers in my mind while driving like I’m being used for their financial gain.

I enjoyed working for the company they are better than most. I had to leave for personal reasons but would go back if things change. They have very nice staff and A-1 dispatching

What is the best part of working at the company? Great company to drive for. Good caring people backing you up in the office. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Just the stress of dealing with the public. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Inclusive invironment , great people What is a typical day like for you at the company? Just make your delivery on time.

A good place to start at they take care of their equipment and drivers, as long as you get it done you'll be taking care of. Great and friendly staff.
