Love to get to see the people that help me stay out on the road. I'm glad they love their desk jobs, because I would not like to sit inside all day like they do. So I'm glad they are there to make my daily window outside my rolling office. Great work Sweet Team!!!!

Just watched a driver park behind the pumps at an angle as though he was waiting to get fuel...He went inside with his backpack, I'm sure to shower..Came out a half hour later.
Love's route 52 in Virginia. 8AM on the 11th of April.
Need to teach your drivers some common courtesy and decency.

If there is a company you want to work and drive for it is this one! So this is my update after a year of working for this company. This is the best company that you can work for all the miles you can drive. And one of the best companies that s out here on the road I can t wait until it expands even more because the driver managers are awesome I ve had no complaints whatsoever.

I have been with Sweet express for a little over a year. In that year I was honestly a little worried because of previous experiences at other companies. I have found a very comfortable family environment at the office, everyone is so nice!
the trucks here are well maintained. If i need anything on my truck I call my DM and they will make sure my truck is taken care of asap.
Safety is important to this company. They never ask you to drive over your hours, and plan loads very well with the time you have available on your clock. If you want to drive they will keep you going! I average 3000 miles per week, some weeks are less some are more depending on hours, or things like maintenence, or repairs but they pay for breakdown and layovers so it doesnt doesn't hurt too much in the paycheck.
If I ask for hometime the answer is always "no problem, when do you want to go home" just have to be reasonable... They'll work with you in an emergency.
I can talk all day about the good things Ive experienced here, I dont have any negative things to say. Im sure other people have other experiences here but this has been my experience so far. I plan on retiring here and maybe staying after retiring if theyll let me lol

Overall Im very happy to work for Sweet Express

My last payroll check bounced. I gave them 2 weeks notice after working there for 3 month (the worst 3 months of my truck driving life). They told me to lie on logs, always trying to give me team loads when I never had a co driver. Drivers - stay away from them

Just another company who has too many bosses who don't care about the drivers. No one knows for sure what's going on and what needs done. Useless mechanics who don't do anything but collect a paycheck. Safety has not a clue on the workings of the electronic logs. $7000 sign on bonus for anyone who stays long enough to collect it.

Watch out for license plate D734835 out of Grand Rapids, MI. The trucker was right up smack behind a car at a extremely dangerous small distance and swerving back and forth. We slowed down out of fear of the car getting hit. Tried to find a number on the truck to call it in, but couldn t find one. It s an accident waiting to happen.

Worked at Larsens trucking, they were bought out by Sweets. Spent more time sitting waiting on repairs to the truck that I had turned in many times that never did get fixed. They do not treat their drivers with respect nor are they family orientated. After sitting waiting on the truck to get fixed AGAIN and being told we will get to it when we have time AGAIN I had had enough. 450 dollars a week . No not even near worth it this is without getting company insurance for my family which was over 300 a week. I would have been bringing home 100 which iam sure i spent on food to sit and wait on a truck to be fixed.

The miles are there, the money's not bad and the trucks are pretty well upgraded. From my experience and others, your first truck will be probably a lemon but stick with it they'll get you a better truck

Was turned on to this company by a driver I met in Sioux falls SD. Told me company was family orientated and home time was great. Had reservations about leaving my current company, due to lack of OTR experience, but reluctantly agreed to go to grand Rapids MI after recruiter assured me I was a good fit for this company. Put in my notice with current company and took off a week to tie loose ends up at home. Was flown out to GRR and put in a hotel. Following day took driving test and was then told I did not pass driving test due to excessive button hooks. Honestly after going over the driving test I only recalled one time I even came close to the lane next to me. Heres my point this company showed me the dark truth of the trucking industry. Big promises of family oriented, good money, lots of home time, but none of it materialized. Thank God my current company understood I was trying to do better for my family. And gracefully took me back. Now that's a company with "integrity". A word I wonder if sweet express understands the meaning of.

Truck 6955 driver would not respond pounded on the truck with two Loves employees in Boredman OR. Truck leaked 100 gallons of fuel in parking lot. Driver had the truck idling and so much garbage and old clothes stacked up in the windows it's no surprise he didn't respond. Called the company and pressed 5 for an emergency and got a voice mail system. I guess this is just another trashy trucking company that gives all of us a bad name because they just don't care.

I work here and honestly this is the best job I have ever had. And I am 37. Amazing staff. Extremely family oriented. Not just a number. They know u by name. They love pets. Good hometime. They put their drivers first. Great equipment and shop. And bend over backwards to help u out in any way they can. Not to mention they have great miles. 2800-3200. Would absolutely recommend to everyone looking to get into trucking with a great company.

As with most companies they have their ups and downs, but this is the most comfortable place I've ever worked at. It really saddens me that in this industry when a driver doesn't get what they want or does something wrong they refuse to take responsibility for their actions and immediately go to the internet to post a bad review about a company that did everything possible to give them a chance. I recently recruited a driver with only four months experience, he swore he could pass a driving test. I then found out that not only did he fail the driving test, but the tester had to drive the truck back to the terminal. He then went on to leave a company review of one star. On his review he made it out that it was the company's fault. He also said in his review that the company didn't follow through on their promises of home time and pay etc. My question to that person, how can you possibly review a company that you didn't even work for because you weren't even capable of passing a simple road test? anyone reading these reviews should think about things like that when they see a bad review. 90% of the time, it's a driver who didn't get their way or did something wrong and refuses to take responsibility for his or her own actions. If you're looking for companies to work for, this is one of the better ones. And again, when you see a bad review, think about the source of that review, especially from someone with only four months experience.

Carreirs - be aware. They can refuse to pay you for your services for no reason. Customers - brokers department at Sweet Logistics will lie to you in order to get more money and always blame carriers they hire if anything happens. I do not recommend to sell any freight (if you are a customer) or book any loads with them (if you are a carrier).

Just had to put in my two week notice due to stress and family issues. But I'll tell ya, this is the best otr company out there. They are always honest and will keep you moving. Equipment is very good, some trailers are a little dated but still dot legal. I would highly recommend anyone to this great place.
Even though I put in my two week, I was treated with nothing but respect and they even bought my plane ticket to get home.
Sweet express is growing and growing, and I'm my opinion, they are the industries best for a driver.

Had a really good experience so far. The driver instructor who took me out for my driving test made me feel at ease. I was so nervous at first
Cause I've drove nothing but a Volvo for the last 5 to 6 yrs. And I took the test in an International one. So different. But I think I finally found the company that's gonna fit me. Thanks Sweet Express

Driver pulling SW6058 on Friday 25th driving south on 57 is bad representative of your company. Tailgating in construction zone, sped past at 68 when lane opened again but still 55 zone, no signal use, all around typical Midwest trash steering wheel holder.

Sweet Express is a great company to work for. They are very understanding, I would definitely refer a friend to this company. Dispatching is great, they always keep me moving. They have some good policies, they take good care of their equipment. Sandy and Keisty are the best DMs.

Ryan and Venad being a nice guy at first. This company will sell you a truck via MTE truck a business merger now called MTE-Sweet not in dot compliance and signed to work with the company just to take your truck back for complaining. That'll fix their denying they sell trucks. They also keep your paycheck and all monies wasted on a down payment. There's no good destiny for this company. The law will protect those who fall into this trap.
