Halvor Lines Review

The equipment was okay when I was there I had a problem with super singles on a single drive axle in the winter time I would still be there if it wasn't for all the unpaid sitting around I did at warehouses

Great place to work. Great people who treat you like family. Excellent work experience and miles. Very safety continuous company.

Halvor lines would not respond to my job applications one way or another.

Great company to work for they care about the drivers and they make it a point to get to know who you are and they will help you with anything you need i love them

Decent company to work for. Mechanics are on top of maintenance and repairs. Dispatch isn't high strung or bullied. Pay is better now.

There all so very nice and being a smaller fleet you get to know everyone by name as and you get to meet everyone it's nice to put a face with who your talking with.... I'm treated well here and being a driver I'm pleased with the choice and all the values they have, there equipment is nice and any repair doesn't come unnoticed they get my truck in the shop right away. If you want to drive for a good fleet this is the one I promise I have been driving trucks just over 35 yrs and I have no regrets making the move to Halvor Lines.

Had nothing but great things to say about company. Had a very bad week but they had been nothing but nice and made sure i was taking care of. Thk you Halvor Lines hoping for a better week this week.

Great rates.
Great service.
Excellent equipment

AAAA+++++

Best place to have worked for in 36 years of driving ,equipment is top-notch dispatchers are awesome.

For a new driver with no experience, they are a good company to start with. I spent 2 years working for Halvor. With that said, I would recommend getting a year under your belt, then go somewhere that will actually pays good. Newbies start at .32cpm for van. After 1 year, you get 2cpm raise. Every year after, it's only 1cpm. It would take a guy 7 years to make it to .40cpm! There are plenty of companies out there that would start you at .38-.40cpm with a year+ experience. As I said, get experience and move on.

Pros:
new equipment
DirectTV in the trucks
good bennies
very flexible with home time
consistent customer base.

Cons:
governed at 64
trucks are programmed for maximum fuel efficiency, so that an empty van only slightly accelerates faster than a load of 43,000 (not at all helpful when trying to merge into traffic)
Absolutely terrible pay structure
NO APU's, then complain if you idle too much the tiered bonus structure looks nice, but the way the load planners and dispatch run things, good luck making it to the 2 best bonuses
Even if you're willing to stay out 3+ weeks at a time, the best runs are reserved for their favorite drivers. In the 2 years I was with them, I only made it to the PNW once, Cali once, FL 3 times, ect.. I understand that dispatchers are not travel agents. But it gets frustrating seeing other van drivers on social media checking in from Maine, Cali, Florida, Arizona, ect.... while you're being dispatched to Ohio for the 3rd time in 4 trips out.

Overall, would not recommend. But if you must, get your year and bail.

Great Place to Work Management is cool, I don't care for some of the Politics, In my Opinion the Trucks are to slow at 64.6 MPH is Dangerous on the Nations Freeways ... The Equipment is always being up Graded..I Drive my old 2007 KW T2000, It's got almost 800,000 miles on it, I won't give Her up till I have put 1,000,000,000 Miles on Her.. I like Halvorlines over all, just don't care for some of the Politics ...That's it..

Too much wrong with this place to even begin. There were a few who went above and beyond for us! I hope in time they work on some of the problems. This would be the ideal company in a different dept of driving managers.

Flatbed drivers get screwed. Percentage of tarping? Percentage per stop? Never received detention pay or for when it took 24 hours to get me a load home from Miami when I had found one in 30 min after stopping. Irritating.

Great trucking company I'd work there if I didn't already

Friendly environment, drivers seem to have no problem answering a question when u have one. Clean drivers lounge. Just dont park ur personal vehicle next to a tractor plug in post! Lol they dont like that

I don't currently work for Halvor Lines but I've heard nothing but great things about them. I actually toured their Superior, WI terminal back in 2012 when I was in Truck Driving school and I really liked the facility and what they were about and had to offer as an OTR trucking company. I was also really impressed with how clean the trucks were. I've been driving local for the last 8+ years and I definitely would like to work for them in the near future if the opportunity presents itself. I always told myself that if I was to ever go OTR, it would be with Halvor Lines! Also, Congratulations on being named a Top Carrier to drive for 9 years in a row!

Sorry but we have very bad experience with one of the broker Tylan. He book our dry van and when we arrived to shipper-they needs reefer. Sometimes that happens but broker don't agree to pay TONU(truck not in use). Started acting and explain what customer don't pay for his srew up.
I will believe-what we resolve that problem with some managers. Still not compensate for 60 miles to driver, fuel, time IFTA to NY....

Great company to start your career with but I wouldn't stay longer than 2 yrs

I am a rider and I have found your facility Very clean and comfortable. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Shower facilities were great! Thank you for your hospitality.

I have had family work for this bussness off and on.

As I sit here at a TA in Elgin i can help but appreciate watching one of your drivers truck #48247 throwing some trash out of the door onto the ground instead of being a upstanding commercial driver.

One of the best run trucking companies I have ever seen

Excellent company to work for. Excellent pay package, and benefits. Best of all treated with respect!! Been in trucking industry 33+ yrs. Wish I would have found this company sooner. Been employed here going on 5 yrs.

Worked for them for a few years. Beat company to work for. Very family friendly and fair. Great group of people.
