The equipment is great & upkeep is outstanding! They get me in the terminal about every 1.5-2 months and go over the tractor on one side of the shop and the trailer on the other side of the shop. The shop guys want you to tell them if there are any problems so they can get right to fixing it. The dispatch keeps you rolling! You usually have your next load on the way to your current delivery or while you're getting unloaded, hardly any time passes from delivery to the next load. I've never had a problem getting home when I need to, but I do also stay out 3-4 months at a time. All they ask is for 2 weeks notice if when you want to be home. Easy people to get along with, very helpful & always want your insight on anything.
Pros
New equipment, lots of miles, 100% company paid medical after 2 years of service, quarterly safety bonus, friendly staff
Cons
Only thing negative I can say is they have a company rule about personal conveyance which is such an annoyance... if you happen to run out of hours while at a shipper/reciever, you have to have arrived with at least one hour of drive time remaining. In which you have to call to get them to turn it on for you.

Response from Holland Enterprises
Thank you for the review. Personal Conveyance is an annoyance, I agree with that but the rules for it's use are very strict. One way we keep our safety record clean is to make sure everyone follows those rules. We realize that calling in to get PC turned on is annoying but we have made it so it can be done 24/7 if necessary. Thank you again and keep up the good work!

If you are looking for a great place to drive and get the miles then check this place out! They have a great staff, Top Equipment, and a great group of drivers. they shoot to get their drivers 11,000 to 13,000 miles a month! the average length of haul is around 1500 miles one way! plus they even pay for your Direct TV and XM Radio! couldn't be happier or see myself working for a better organization!

Holland pays orientation and detention that being on time with load. They pay you according to experience. 90% of the loads are 1800 miles or more and that is on a low side. I have been with Holland for 5 years and never have not been home when I'm supposed to be. Their minimum for drivers 11,000 mi a month they want you to run at least that. The equipment is always in tip top shape. Hollen hauls food. Pay is every week all loads turned in by 10:00 a.m. Tuesday. They do not babysit their drivers they expect you to be the professionals that you are supposed to be. Weekly miles is anywhere for 28 to 3400 mostly about 30 to 3,200. I have been driving for 27 years hauling his best over the road company I have worked for thus far. Come to work for Holland expect to run that's what being out on the road is about. Run east to west coast and you will see snow. As far snow goes we have chains it is the driver's choice whether to chain up or not. Holland has an open door policy if there's any problems communicate with them and they handle it immediately. Everybody there is extremely nice and professional and expect the same in return. Out of 5 years there has been four times when I wasn't assigned a load before I started to unload.

Safety Department misrepresented dashcam footage to law enforcement and refused to acknowledge the discrepancy and then lied about it. When Chris Holland (president of Holland Enterprises) was made aware of this, he replied, "F&$K OFF!"
My wife was on 3 way call with me with another one of her friends when I made the call to Chris Holland. Her friend hung up and my wife stayed on the line and listened in... she was shocked at the unethical and unprofessionalism displayed by a president of a company.
Cons
Truck shutting down on highway
Condescending, verbal abuse, hostile work environment, Payroll hard to deal with, Misrepresentation in ongoing investigation, no concern for driver safety.
