Best company I've ever worked for hands down. My dispatcher is by far the best one I've ever had. And the other one's are great too. They don't play games here. You will never be shorted any pay. All the miles you want. Great home time. Very flexible. The pay is great too. Well maintained equipment. Great accounts and customers. I can say I truely love my job and the people I work with. I'll retire here for sure.

THE EQUIPMENT ALWAYS BREAKS DOWN. ITS HARD DRIVING COMPANY AND TO MAKE ANY MONEY. IF YOU ARE NOT THERE FOR 90 DAYS YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR ORIENTATION. THEY GO BY HEAR SAY! NOT EVIDENCE. PROMISED A NEW TRUCK AFTER 30 AND THEY WERNT EVEN READY THE EQUIPMENT IS ALWAYS BROKE DOWN AND WERE ALWAYS SITTINGBECAUSE OF EQUIPMENTBREAKING. THEY FIRED MY BROTHER FOR HEAR SAY BECAUSE OF HIS WIFE AT HOME AND SHE WAS LIAN AND GOT HIM FIRED. FAMILY ORIENTED NOT SO WEll. THE BEST OART WAS MISS TERRY IN ORIENTATION. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE MONEY DONT GO OVER THERE.

Christensen does have a family environment I worked there over a year and enjoyed it. I terminated my employment for personal reasons. I do however miss my truck! That was an awesome KW that I took care of meticulously! They have the best equipment to work with! They definitely had enough work to keep you busy and then some if you are a driver that loves to run that is the place to be!

My sister was in the hospital with covid 19 on ventelator I told them I needed to get to little rock asap. Three days later I was in Arkansas delivering my load 82 miles from little rock. And they decided to assign me another load from N.E Arkansas. Going up into Missouri. When I received the load on the computer. I called and reminded them of My sister's condition.
But they said I needed to pick up this load. I headed towards the pick up. That didn't load until the next day after 1800. At 15:45 my brother contacted me with the news that my sister had passed away. I decided then that it was over between them and myself I didn't pick up the load. I bobtailed to my house in Missouri and told them. I was at home and was leaving imidiatly. To attend my sister's cremation. Now that's unacceptable. I filed for unemployment.and they lied about why I left.

Lease purchase beware! My husband was told repeatedly it's a walk away lease. Sure it is! For a $7500 fine plus tons of other charges. Then he was told by Lonnie Epps "I own you." Call me crazy, but I thought the days of wealthy white men "owning" people was over. That was after he said he'd just add on a few more weeks of payments to what my husband would owe them because he didn't like my husband standing up for himself. After running all week & making the company money his payroll sheets shows he owes them over $5,000. His net pay before all their penalties was over $4,000.
