In Their Own Words
"Three years ago I had to get away from a mega carrier who one, didn't really trust their drivers. Two, had way too many rules. And three, thought that getting home every weekend for 34 hours was quality home time. When I started looking I began with the Best Fleets to Drive For list. Chief Carriers was on that list. So I contacted Mandee and we had a good conversation right off the bat. I realized quickly I was talking to somebody who wasn't reading from a script. She asked me way more questions about my expectations rather than pushing their agenda. This introduction to Chief, together with the fact they are a smaller carrier, and there is a facility close to me for which we are the main carrier, made the decision a no-brainer. Lastly, carriers like to throw out the "You're not just a number" thing like there's no tomorrow. I've been here 3 years and I couldn't tell you my driver/employee I.D. without looking it up. I guess the latter would be more of a reason for why I'm still here."
"When I chose to come and work for Chief Carriers I was working for a company that was poorly run and didn't treat drivers well. After talking to chief and learning of it's policies and compensations package I chose to begin working for Chief. I was pleasantly surprised at just how professional and competently the company was managed and at how the drivers were treated like valued members of the team. I've stayed with Chief for the almost 6 years because they continue to work with me on issues like home-time, truck, maintenance and dispatch issues like professionals."
"Chief Carriers is one of the best companies that I have driven for!! You are treated like family here. All of the office personnel from management, to driver manager, to dispatch are always accessible and willing to help with any issues or concerns that you might have. Our shop has very high standards when it comes to equipment and they stay on top of things so we are not sitting on side of the road. When it comes to the money, if you are not lazy and you are willing to put in the work, you are rewarded handsomely for your work. They always get me home when I need to be there as well, whether it is planned time off or if there is an emergency. Great place to work!!"
