By far one of the best companies to work for. From day one I was treated as family not just a trucker. Great equipment, great dispatchers who are always one call away. Oppportunies to make more money with clean inspection and driving safely. No sitting, wheels always turning and earning. Sweet express definitely works with you to help maintain a good clean cdl and also makes your time with them worth it. Five Star from me. Great coffee too read more

If I could rate it zero, I would. As someone who knows somebody first hand who works for this company, it's not worth it as a job. The start out pay is only 0.50cpm (you get per diem but it's basically worthless in the long run) but the runs are short and most of your money you make is going to go to insurance (health, dental, vision). Management is a joke, layover/breakdown is a joke, stop off pay is a joke. The truck is constantly breaking down and they refuse to acknowledge that it needs to be put in the shop. They take $50 out of every check for driver escrow but you end up paying out if anything goes wrong on your truck anyway (he had to pay out $100 every week for 4wks because of a bent rim on a steer tire even though escrow was supposed to cover that). Resets- don't know what they are? If you have recaps your running on those and those alone (even if you don't have much time on your recaps, you run until you legally cannot run anymore and only then can you do a 34hr reset). If you need to do ANYTHING regarding going to the store or something you have to have it approved before hand (cant just put it in that your running to the store on PC cuz it's against protocol apparently). Advances/Loans- If you need to take an advance or a loan of any sort (which he had to do almost bi weekly because he wasn't making enough money for basic living expense), don't expect to have it taken out of your checks in installments, they'll take it all at once even if you don't end up making that much money. (Had to take a loan because he only made like $200 after taxes, (insurance, escrow, etc.) and he had bills due and they took the full loan amount out of his next check so he ended up only making $300 on the next check even though they had said they would take it in installments, so he was screwed over 2wks in a row with not making enough money). Also the paperwork you have to fill out for an emergency loan is very vague and has to be signed off on by like 12 people before it's approved. On the topic of management- if you have any questions or concerns don't bother reaching out to your DM or the company about it because they won't do anything. They'll say they're working on it/will get right to it, but they won't. It's all talk. They know that the pay isn't good and they know that people have issues with things regarding their trucks breaking down/layover pay/stop offs. They do not care. YOU'RE JUST A NUMBER TO THEM, that's it. Toll Roads- they REFUSE to pay toll roads, so you have to find alternative routes to avoid them at all costs, (Even though they have EZ Passes in the trucks) despite the fact that sometimes to get where they want you to go, the only option is going through a toll... doesn't matter to them, find another way DO NOT GO THROUGH TOLL ROADS EVER THEY DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO PAY THEM AT ALL. read more

I visited Sweet Express today for the first time, in Grand Rapids, MI. Great company, Great people. Highly recommend!

Good company, weekend driver managers are idiots and will threaten you with your job if you question anything. I worked for them for 28 days . I was supposed to be headed back to oregon to load out my truck and visit my daughter and I was given a load that sent me 11 hours out of the way. This meant I was not gonna make it home in time. So my regular DM took it off me, then this idiot weekend DM put it back on me and made me do it. He said I would be let go for refusing the load, I tried to explain to him about my visit and he said he didn't care. So I returned to the yard dropped the loaded trailer. Tried to explain I have to reset my 34 hour clock as I didn't have the time to get to the shipper so he took my on duty time and converted it to drive time which is illegal and told me to go get the trailer then start my 34 hour reset. Again this would have made me late for my home time and visit with my little girl not to mention it was illegal and a violation on my cdl. So I called trivago got a plane ticket home, unloaded the truck and flew home to Portland. It sucked as I liked the job and company but to be threatened and the told to violate ELD rules just to get to the shipper was something I wasn't going to do. So be aware of your time as like most trucking companies they could care less about you or your cdl. read more

Saw their Sweet Express deliver semi speeding down Michigan St in Grand Rapids! Posted speed is 35mph my guess is he was going at least 55mph! How are you going to stop that rig if someone plus out in front of you! And more importantly what if a pedestrian steps out and you kill them! Not good! Actually scared me as I waited in a drive to pull out! He just whipped right by! read more
