Trucker Life for SKYLINE TRANSPORTATION INC
All in all decent company. They promise you a new truck within 6 months was there almost 4 years no new truck. Also they hire people as DM ( driver managers ) off the street that has no clue as to what they are doing so if they mess up your pay is affected. They say your the captain of your ship when your out there however they decide when your clock starts and ends. I wish the company well its good for just starting out but it definitely isn't a career company that you can plan to retire from. Good luck in your searches and make sure wherever you go that you have a DM that is not a rookie and fresh in the game.

My husband works for them. They are a nice bunch of people there. They pay well and have good benefits. The only complaint I have is not a lot of home time on the weekends. He gets home late Friday and has to leave mid-afternoon on Sunday.

The recruiting department is deceitful. I would not recommend this company because of this reason.

Your driver of truck 1306 needs to go back through driver training. He almost took my passenger mirror off trying to to pull through a parking spot. SMDH

My husband worked for this company and they were very good to him. He only left this company to find a job where he could be home with us everyday. Other than that he would have stayed.
