Forward Air reviews

When I first started here I absolutely Loved it. Their trucks which are leased by Ryder are horrible, whether it’s old or new. Ryder is too lazy to maintain them properly. My first older truck broke down 8 times, my newer truck 3. When it comes to being reimbursed for hotels, Ubers, what have you, this company is great. Home time fabulous. What I can’t stand is you can sit anywhere from 13 hours to 18, 30 ect. They don’t believe in resets. This company will run you on recaps forever. You have to do your grocery shopping, laundry ect on your 10. Now when you’re down, they don’t tell you how long so you can get all of this done. Communication people. All company drivers are paid salaried. Which is great because checks are consistent. But running recaps should be my choice not theirs. They bleed your hours

I leased into Forward Air in Jan 2025,I don’t have to call them ever,but I am embarrassed to be a truck driver because I’ll get a load and wait 30 hrs for another,or 72 hrs so you sit and sit,I was told in orientation we have more freight then trucks,lie,,all terminals have driver showers,lie,all terminals have a gated area for your vehicle,lie,my first check was $5.22 I don’t understand how O/O do it here,a 16 yr old at McDonald’s makes more then me,I’m so ashamed to be here,yes they go from terminal to terminal but the load states “this will take you 10.5 hrs to do,yes they will give a service failure regardless of the situation,weather,accident,road closures it seems to be all your fault.forward air is designed for rookie drivers to get to know the trucking industry,and your only going to make $1.32 per mile and this is Feb 2025! I’m stating facts,you do what you want,and safety will tell you “drive the posted speed limit” “yeah but I own the truck”I’m done at this no good so called company.

Equipment is good, most dispatch suck and don't do there job at planning with the DOT regulations and then blame the driver for failure to deliver on time .

Not enough work available for Solo Unaware of Team. Pay sucks No disrespect to cashier but we make their salary

This the worst company I carried for ,thet make Roadrunner transportation look more professional. Dispatch lazy planning team don't care, you have to call 10 times a day. They don't tell you where are in line, certain team have decated lanes,and tell other teams you can only run lane only 30% in a 90 days and it never reset. Then lie about the AB5 law is why you can't. Yeah right. And forget if your a solo driver, good luck with that.
