I had the opportunity many years ago to work with the folks at Covenant and did work with them as an (OO) Owner Operator-Independent Contractor. If you ask any driver, let alone an OO, most will tell you stories about bumping heads with their Dispatcher and having bad days.
The truth is, we all hav...

It is the Blind Leading the Blind, 95 percent of all those working in Chattanooga are clueless as to what to do to assist the DRIVERS, THIER thought process is NOT to service the driver's or the Customer. They have sold thier liability s, they have fired a Senior Vice president, and they turn off yo...

I'm going on 4 years at Covenant. I started as an inexperienced driver straight out of CDL school.
There's definitely been some ups and downs. But without a doubt, becoming a truck driver and coming to work for Covenant was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Last year I made nearly $63,000....

If you want to work with compassionate people that want to help you make lots of money, this is the company. I really have nothing bad to say about them. I've worked for them for a few years a long time ago and decided I wanted to persue a conventional degree. 15 years later my husband and I are bac...

I worked here for 7 months. Apparently if you get a non-moving violation you get terminated, but if you do drugs in the truck and drive right after, you get a 2nd chance.

With that being said, staff is friendly, you can make good money here, but you shouldn't be forced to team with a complete str...

Overall, it's been a good experience so far. Just keep in mind that at the beginning, there are some dues to pay. I don't mean money, either. Three to five days of orientation. The hotel you stay in is a little "rustic." However, it's definitely not horrible. Then you may wait a few more days for a ...

My smile grew. At the next red light I was beside your truck and saw your logo. I yelled Amen! Than...

I would barely give them one star but that's for giving us the opportunity. This company railroaded us as a team. Took us off our dedicated account with our notice and expected us to go OTR.

My cousin and I drove as a team for them for less than a year. By the time we quit, Covenant owed us $6,422.00 each. To this day, either...

If you want to know what a company REALLY thinks of the drivers. Call the breakdown department and sit on hold an hour or 2 listening to some loud distorted flute music straight off of some corporate safety video from the 80's before someone answers.
