Current Employee - Apr 19, 2025

Don’t waste your time on applying here. Freightbull Inc is a company that specializes in providing misleading deceiving services. They will lease you a truck that’s over priced, with high mileages and needed repairs. So imagine you lease 2022 or 2023 truck for $750 to $900 per week and then the truck has over 190,000 miles with engine hours over 16,000 hours that means the truck has no more warranty. Over priced trailer rental $250. per week for dry van & $500. per week for reefer trailer.. I can go on and on for days.. and if you quit or get fired, they will nickel and dime you out of your your Maintenance account. If it’s in positive they have five lawsuits against them right now for thief by deception

Pros

They know you by name.

Cons

You would deadhead more than you drive in the dry division looking for empty trailers. they don’t have customers at all you guys would be just praying that you guys are doing multiple loads. They still pay the same loads from the beginning every year the loads won’t change up or down to stay at the same price.

I've done this lease thing a few times before and have never been nickel and dimed like this. After two months on the road I've had only one decent settlement. You can insist all you like on the areas you prefer to run in but ultimately you'll only be offered trips where they prefer. Two months of being where I don't want to be for garbage money. Run from this nightmare.

Pros

They all call you 'sir', for whatever that's worth.

Cons

You won't make any real money no matter how hard you run.

Former Employee - Oct 25, 2024

I recently retired from trucking I did it for almost 40 years freight bull is the worst company I have ever worked for and that is saying something. Run away from this company as fast as you can. Nothing they will tell you about the least purchase program is true and you will go broke. Between my escrow and my maintenance account I had almost $4,000 they found a reason to keep every bit of it except $189. It's just another foreign owned lease purchase company in Chicago that is ripping off drivers and getting you to pay the lease payments the insurance and their maintenance. The trailers are in horrible condition and I'm surprised they haven't had several wrecks they never go into the yard they never go into the shop their tires are bald the brakes are bad and there are holes in the floors of a lot of them. They will also try to get the least purchase drivers in fact they will demand it that you give them a receipt if you have any maintenance done on the road because apparently they're using it as tax write off. I don't understand how they're getting away with using lease purchase drivers receipts on their taxes but they're doing it they just haven't been caught yet.I was there for 10 weeks went home for half a day once I couldn't afford to ever go home other than that. You'll never meet the dispatchers because they're all in Europe. They're also double brokering but because the dispatchers are in Europe I'm sure they're not subject to the laws of the United States which is how they're getting away with it although you would think the owner of the company would be. By the time they kept my maintenance and escrow money at the end I was almost paying them to work for them

Pros

Just another rip off foreign owned chicago lease purchase company I should have known better

Cons

There is literally no reason anybody should ever work for this company

This will be me my last day here. We r a team truck and have over 7 yrs experience and thought they were going to be a amazing company but it turned out to be all lies and just another Russian / foreign company out of Chicago robbing their drivers to pay their truck leases off for them. Dispatchers and communication sucks !! You sit on weekends with no loads out and they lie about pick up times and delivery dates and times. If it doesn’t benefit them they will act like the load has been taken already or won’t even call the brokers off the boards pushing you to take what they want you to take. Yea they offer 80% to driver but by the time they take out the fuel and all the other expenses I are left with peanuts !! What a joke !! I guess nobody in the weekends can even book loads because they are based out of Europe and we have not had one load that ran through the weekend. We got stuck in 3 different states every weekend waiting for load out and they kept saying nothing is paying good on boards ! They would rather you sit for days then keep a team truck rolling and moving and making money. We even tried to call and switch our dispatcher (mike) and his team after very first week bc we knew instantly we weren’t getting loads fast enough and that they were acting sketchy. Wish we had never wasted our time coming here. Could have made more partying at home working at a fricking fast food joint or local place then with these people !! It’s horrible. All the great reviews have to be all family & friends who work there or are related bc the whole company is family and married to each other ! Pleaseee do not waste your time !! We won’t be r be staying long enough to get our first payment for supposed sign on bonus that’s how bad it’s been past 4 weeks !! Look else wear for a different company. You have been warned !!

Pros

None

Cons

Everything. Especially dispatchers and booking loads You sit and wait for days for a load out No weekend freight No responses through text half the time Can’t hardly understand them with thick accents They don’t care about you making money at all
