I been with Tradition almost a year now. I’m writing a review because I recently referred someone to work here and they based working or not with Tradition on reviews they read. First I have no knowledge on current or past drivers but I can give you my own personal experience. I have a class A with tankers and hazmat. Before Tradition I worked in the oilfields in Southern NM and hauled crude oil. I thought I had a great paying job but I was wrong. I been driving commercial vehicles well over 10 years. I’ve had driving positions as well as driver manager rolls. I’m fortunate to know both sides and able be understanding between the two. Tradition by far has been one of the best companies I have worked for. I will prove to anyone the money that can be made. I continuously have deposits into my bank of 10,000 to 12,000 a month and this year so far will have grossed almost 200,000 by the end of this month. For those who say they didn’t make any money or run away. I don’t know them but I can only guess they ether lacked what it took to be a successful lease operator or just violated company policy to many times. I for one am very happy Tradition takes safety so serious and they hold every driver to that standard. As far as the staff I personally think everyone I came into contact with has been great. But no job is 100% perfect and no one will be completely satisfied. This is a hard job being away from family and it takes dedication and commitment. Driver managers also have a hard roll because not all drivers are polite and respectful to them. I can only say if you put in the work, communicate with a open mind and be flexible you can make the money. It takes time to build a professional relationship with your driver manager and will take time for them to understand your needs as well as make sure the freight is moving. So before you take a few bad drivers reviews as it’s true I say call recruiting they can get you in touch with current drivers who are successful. There are many and we are more than happy to share what it takes to be successful.

Decent company to work for. Been here for a month and struggled in the beginning but things are panning out alright. I’m a rate this as a 50/50 you either start off with a good start or you might go under.I do love my truck and amazed that I actually posted the same truck and color and that’s what was available.

STAY AWAY!!! I did not listen to the other reviews and tried here. I wish I would’ve listened. You can’t make any money here as a lease purchase driver. They want you to haul under bid dedicated freight. If they give you a brokered load it will be under bid as well. They are not transparent and refuse to show you the original rate before your 80%. Which is illegal by the way, if you are paid by percentage. My load planner on team 3 basically told me he isn’t worried about me and my money. He is only worried about traditions money. They told us orientation would pay $100 a day. NOPE! It’s $100 flat for the entire time you are there. Do what you will with this review. I know I will never recommend this place to anyone. EVER!

Great folks, the only issue I had was the fact that the tricks run to slow and I spent more time in the shop for repairs for the truck instead of being out there generating revenue.

Tradition is the best company I have found to work for, they treat you like family, and the pay is good, and they get me home when I ask!

Brian Mowery at this company has a mouth on him, he takes pride in disrespecting carriers and harassing them by calling them names. I would stay away from this company. Especially if the manager allows this kind of behavior.Play with fire and you get burned.

Shipping office is a joke, ignored me for 45 minutes, our people had to call theirs, to get this guy Jim to even acknowledge i was there. Another 40 minutes later he finally started loading me.

Did my daughter wrong. Not what they tell you they are. Did not fulfill one promise.

Just based on getting a truck its a waste of time

Great place to work

I ben their 11months best place I have work

Good place to work.

Robert , and all one star giving drivers. Message me and lets start this class action law suit! Make change. Shouldve listened ?!we need to stop their practice of employment so they dont get anything or rip others of again.

Awesome place to work I make $$$$ every week they will treat you like family Justin Holmes and the whole recruiting department are amazing and honest

Company going down hill parking lot full of empty trucks pay going down more sitting quit but I detailed my truck before I left and the greedy prices still charged me a 250 cleaning fee stay away from this company there going down hill

Nice people clean place care about equipment

Delivered to the facility, was totally impressed with 2 youg men off loaded in about 25 minutes from check in to departure. Please dont change your work ethicsGreat job Mike an didnt catch the other fellers name.

Very organized usually. The pay is great if u like to run the miles for 2-3 weeks out. Everyone I come across at the terminal is very friendly best trucking company I have been with yet. I would encourage several drivers who aren’t happy with there company now to come join Tradition. They also know you by name not employee code or truck number.

I wouldnt work here I worked there 1 month never received a check then turned into the irs that I made 10,000 in a month working there this place is crooked as all get out

I strongly urge all Drivers not to go here it seems all good until you get behind the wheel of there truck an your name signed on that line. Do not do Lease Purchase you will never make no money at all matter you of fact you will end up owning so basically you would be working for free. Pls do your research before going here he’ll Mr.Krab pays more then them.But seriously do your research because if I had done mine I wouldn’t be able to share is experience with you guys. This place is a complete rip-off I promise don’t believe go work for them see how long you stay there.

I enquired about the lease to own program, Bailey Terrotta talked it up really well. I looked at other drivers experiences on here and watched the videos but felt I had to find out for myself. Well I did find out. The left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing or promising.Tradition Transportation has super nice tractors but their own trailers are on the opposite side of the spectrum.Bailey told me they had and I quote we have work coming out our ears.Average pay per mile $2.15. This is not true. Between the equipment in great need of repair and all of the bobtail and deadhead miles there is no money there.As I did, do what you think you need to do. My best advice is to stay away. I think the company drivers are doing alright but a lease to own driver will not fair so well. Communication is next to zero and pass the buck is on a high speed rail. Personalities are the best part of the whole operation. Again stay away unless you want to be a company driver.

Favorite place to work

Work there

I received their advertisement and called to their recruiter, Bailey. She explained everything, except for she did not know how and most importantly when the load information is delivered to me. She said I am the first driver who asked her this question in her entire six years experience. Even after I confirmed that I am aiming for the lease purchase, her answer was that she does not know the operations, etc. This was enough of an alarm for me right there. In addition, the cell data plan for the DOT communication device under their DOT number should be on me. At this point, the question about their Pit 389 and KW900 equipment and its perks and transmission was kind of redundant, although I prefer automatic. See the image snapshot in this review of their lease terms, you must be an idiot if you cant do the math per mile and detect slavery and rip off.

Love this. I am very pleased with this company and then i got a write up in August and then i got fired in October for the write and still havent gotten my last settlement from them that was in October. The dispatch is awsome they are great people but when they tell you to run pc get a recording of it like i did also on my write up from dot in utah i got it never happened i tried to tell them that

Stay away from this company! They care nothing about you or your family and if you actually make money, it won’t be a result of these sharks and thieves helping you. There are MUCH better companies out there. The only thing that this company has to offer is a pretty truck and the price that comes with is not worth putting up with the nonsense and ignorance that starts in orientation and follows from your first load. Drivers and customers beware!

I applied to this company tryin to get away from my current company to have a better career and sure enough i should have listened to the other reviews because the lady that was in recruiting played it up real good about how my application looked good and shouldnt be a problem to get hired. Now she wont return my calls or emails so much for lack of professionalism and curiosity will never work for this company just because of her.

Great place

Run. Just run. This company lies to you from the get go. Everything is fine at first, but if you learn the business or already know the business, you will see that they lie to you from the get.First, they have a very high CSA score of 97% as told to me from an Ohio state DOT TROOPER.They will lie to you about loads.They punish you for not taking a load. As a lease contract holder, youre forced to take or face retaliation.The CEO, Tim Evans, doesnt care about high turnover of drivers at all.They just dont have a clue how to run a successful trucking business.Bottom line is for you to avoid this company.Sacrifice is what they want from you and they do not care for you or your family. A lease operator, to these guys, is another name for company driver.

They been there for me when the truck was down and helped me get back on the road so I can make money. I had some bad weeks but I had a lot of good ones too. I been in this business for 45 years and I been with good and bad out fits. But over all I made more money here then any where else I have worked.

Very short 2 day orientation. No road test. Nice equipment. Personally i have a 2017 kenworth w900 86 inch studio sleeper with a 13sp. Staff is laid back and funny. The hotel is nice. Good size pool, good breakfast, with biscuits and gravy, waffles e.t.c. you get a voucher for the fancy restaurant connected to the hotel from tradition. Yes you can have a cocktail. Tradition just started a new pay scale at 82% and 2 distinctly different lease options. They both have the pro/ cons so weigh your options.

A pretty fair company to work for. If dispatch so happens to have an issue, they do their best to make it right. Always get paid on time.. Always work with you on your home schedule, also try and find the loads that will get you closer to where you need to be. No issues as of yet.

Are you submissive? Do you like the feeling of being ignored and that you are inconsequential? Do you enjoy driving equipment that is poorly maintained with a maintenance staff that doesnt answer their phones or return messages? Do you like spending countless hours on the phone trying to get anyone to help you with an issue? Do you like the idea of having to threaten litigation just to get your final paycheck?If you answered yes to the above then this is the company for you!Too bad there isnt a zero with which to rate this company. I expect them to close their doors within 5 years and when they do they will most likely leave their drivers stranded...

Trucks are beautifully but drivers and Truckers stay as far away from this place as you can if you have a family. I guess. Tradition stands for a tradition of ruining families and costing them everything. You can read all about this company on Daves corner were I list the 10 top worst places to drive for this one Just hit the #1 spot

You can run as much as you can but yet you still don’t make the money you should. They say you stay out 14 days but that’s not true, I only went home once a month and still didn’t bring home any money. I got behind on all my bills. The only good thing good about this company is they have nice trucks. Please if you don’t want to lose all you stuff you work hard for run as fast as you can. Don’t work here.

My husband worked for this company for 3 weeks, didnt get paid for the first 2 weeks and the third week after grossing 6000$ for the truck and 2700 miles brought home only 700$. They charge you 3% of the amount of diesel you pump on top of already having to pay 100% of diesel prices. Everything is based off percentages and there is no way to estimate what youll make. Even with high miles and high gross they still find ways to leave you with less than what a company driver makes. Everything was a lie he was told, they scam you and steal your money and tell you its just policy. Stay away from them!!!

DO Not go here .. complete scammers .. even if you turn your truck in you won’t see no money that your supposed to get from escrow account.. they even held my last check for $1700 .. I called and asked where my money is and they said my account was in negative ..If you drive for them .. be ready for some snow all winter .. the snow can mess your whole week up .. they rather house the loads that they have contracts with instead of finding good money loads on a load board when in need ..I know a driver that’s still stuck there now because he lost everything . His home and more and we started the same time around December.. so now he has to live in truck and still not seeing checks over $600 ..If you read these reviews and still think you have a chance then good luck ., at the end you will be screwed over period ..

Decent equipment, nice people but couple things made it a no go for me .They said these things in orientation*Use your cell phone as an eld and get no reimbursement for data used and have to pay them $5 a week for the use*If you go 5mph over speed limit they call you about it and give warning. I can understand 10 or more over but 5 seems little to much micromanagingEven though I was going as company i was interested in the lease but after hearing their not walk away lease, no thanks.I couldnt get a straight answer on what my pay would be as a company driver until I arrived at orientation. I was told it would be somewhere between .47 -.66 cpmRecruiters need more info from companyMy sister passed away while i was in orientation and had to leave. To their credit they did offer to help me get home but I chose to pay my own way home due to knowing this company wasnt for me and I wouldve felt guilty having them pay my way home .Their not a bad company from what I can see and learned while there just wasnt a fit for me .

If I could give 0 stars I wouldIf its not it should be considered the worst trucking company to work for

I came to work for there lease purchase deal. It was the worst mistake of my life. I was gone for 2 months and got 1 $1500 check. The rest were $300 or negative amounts. Not only the pay was horrible but I could literally never get ahold of dispatch. Well I had to quit because I got so far behind bills it took me 6 months to get back up from the hole they helped me dig. Well 6 months later I havent gotten any of the money I put towards the maintenance account or any money back on the escrow. It was a horrible move for me to go to tradition, could be different for others but that was my experience.

If I could give negative stars I would. Place is a joke theres no money to be found dispatch is a bunch of window licking morons. The whole company sucks there csa score is 97 they have already lost there ability to work once and is rapidly approaching again. Worst place I have ever seen. If you have a family dont attempt this joke of a place.

Dont know how to rate them yet....Ive been with them 3 weeks so still learning. I will say I have been lied to twice so thats not good at all. I have made some decent money but worked my butt off for it. My dispatcher is the only good thing about the company so far. If you do decide to join tradition just understand that if they tell you you have 2 deferments you can use as you wish thats a lie....if they tell you that you pick your truck thats a lie. You pick the color from what they have not the motor or transmission. Also note that at no point have I ever been forced on a dispatch. I am always asked if I want the load and if your smart you will just say no to all coyote loads.

Great company to work for great pay and trucks

Good company to work with if your tryin to lease to own a peterbilt truck! I was with them for a short amount of time due to family issues that forced me to find local work, but it is a great small company atmosphere and was a pleasure working with everyone in the office.Recruiting and dispatch were both respectful and professional aswell.Id come back in a heartbeat!

Great place

Thank god for google reviews. I saw these folks on CL and i thought Id called them and try to get my truck on with them. Then something told me maybe you should dig in amd do little more research. WOW

Absolute crook of a company.... if you want a company that uses you for their work without pay, this is the company for you.... after pre hiring a employee and giving a rental truck from Florida to north Alabama, to simply pick up a freight liner semi to drive the remaining distance to Indiana.....(from Florida in the first place) they simply used my father to move a truck they didn’t have anyone to move. Told me father he never got the job once he arrived with their truck. What a joke. Little did they know they simply lost the best driver in North America 50+ years behind the 18 wheels. A HUGE loss for tradition transportation and I hope anyone reading this review takes it as serious as possible. These people are crooks

Work there right nowDont know how long

All I can say if they would get some good dispatchers in there it mint be a good place to work and has no communication at all good looking btrucks there thats it if u go there good luck

Celadon part two cr england remix

The owner dosent care about the driver and wants you to run illegal

Great people awesome Dispatch team always pre planned for the week unfortunately for me I couldnt hang on due to medical issue I had to take care of and family situations back home but If you come on board just run hard and commit youll be just fine

Most dishonest company on face of usa this company as a company driver they refuse to refund all toll money and never pay the extra pay they offer with bs excuses every time and if you lease you will be treated like garbage run hard never get extra pays and lucky to get over $1 a mile unlike the $2.90 a mile they advertise and you sign a lease for a truck with a full factory warranty but they dont tell you the truck had front end and motor replaced switch voids the warranty and charge you for there broken trucks and trailer lies is all they offer to you

They or okay I get good miles. I am a company driver that wants to lease but if a company leases a truck from some were else then puts a high amount on pay off is to much .... I love what I do and I dont and will not starve for money .....

You can make money here if you are willing to work.

Good place to work

Not a good company at all, they left me stranded in Angola IN,and I,m from Greensboro N.C, they dont want their tractors stranded, yet they will leave me stranded over 600 miles , after passing drug and drivers test. but flunk the yes em boss test. They had dirty truck and not serviced. And wanted me to take an old pissy mattress out of the truck, and to take tractors 50 miles out with no reimbursement. Long story short if you are a experienced driver with pride in what you do this company is not for you.This company is a no star company.

My husband works for this company and loves it. He has a nice truck!

Fast unloading 👍🚚

New and up coming company but might be big someday if they dont get too greedy

I was in little rock Arkansas and got sick and almost died after surgery and 8days in the hospital my wife called them to get them to get us a rental car they said I was fired because I didnt pick up the load after arguing with them on the phone kelly finally get us a bus ticket back to Kentucky 16 half bus ride after mager surgery get this the guy who came got truck had a rental my wife got back on the phone with Kelly and asked her why couldnt we take his car she said no hung up phone now they have all my stuff up there in Angola indiana after they promised to send it my called and talked to Nick he told my wife it was to much stuff to send but he couldnt understand why kelly didnt rent us a car my wife told him we tried she said no

Horrible company

Id run like the wind, spent 9 long months here. It started out ruff, then after complaining of not making a profit an not able to pay my self...i made a few weeks of good checks. Then it went down like the titanic. All negavtive reviews are dead on . So if u come here apply for a 503.1c a non profit orginzation because ull never earn a profit, here they will, off of you God bless

Good place to work nice truck and people. They treat you well and get you home when you need to be.

From the first conversation with Hilary to getting on the road...Everything I was told has been up front and straight forward ...Everything said to me in the orientation has been up front and straight forward...And as for what everyone wants to know is the pay...Well here is my deal what they tell you is exactly what it is... I myself run dont go home every week. And Im happy with the money I... You only can make money turning wheels.I got a brand new 389 the frieght rate that they tell you is on the level... The fuel discount is really good .As far as dispatch goes .. Its an easy system..The hotel is OK the food is good.. Orientation is just that lol....Trucking is trucking frieght is frieght..I recommend this company and the people who work in the office are willing to help you . Not look at you as there job..Believe it or not its a good place.. Its not going to be for everyone but if you are a driver looking to turn miles and make money give it a try..Im impressed with how honest and up front everyone has been..Even my dispatch crew.. They have been awesome .Payroll does an awesome job..And even the dreaded safety people..They are a big big help..Soooo if your looking for honesty.. A nice truck.. Good money . And wanna work this is the place.. Look no further..And Im sure the people behind the scene are doing an amazing job or they wouldnt have put a great crew of people ..Hilary,,, shes awesome call her..

If I could give no stars and a thumbs down with a warning for people to stay away I would!

I had a friend that went there they tell you what you want to hear in orientation but its totally different ones you get out on the road they dont just lie to you they steal too his first load was 2 well they just paid him for one he stayed there I think 3 weeks so dont weast yall time if you are out there to make a living cause its not at all what they say it is I gave them a star but they dont deserve

Good Company

Less than 1 star actually. Not reputable, not reliable. I wouldn’t bet my future on them!!!

Fast to get in and out good place to go

Just had a truck literally run me off the road with my one year old in the car causing damage to my vehicle all because he missed his turn. Horrible driving.

Nice people
