Ratings and Reviews

Current Employee - Feb 4, 2025

I don't know why drivers keep saying the equipment is well maintained. The trailers are junk, old and not maintained in the least. Brakes are always locking up and most of them are artifacts. Overall it's a good company because they will run your ### off and you will make good money but I don't understand why everybody keeps saying the equipment is well maintained. They need to start investing in new trailers.

Pros

Good pay, good dispatchers and planners, great home time

Cons

Trailers are old

Great company to work for. Unfortunately not had to depart from the company. Nothing the company did, I failed a random drug test. Unknowingly took gummies that had thc in it. Yes I'm a dumb ###. Love the company hope I'm able to return in the near future. I was with them since 2016. Listening to other drivers and the companies they've worked for, it's safe to say LEONARDS EXPRESS is top notch.

Pros

Great pay and excellent home time.

Cons

No gym at most of the terminals. I had to write something.

Equipment is usually pretty good. They have kept me running pretty well, usually about 1.5k-2.5k a week. Mostly live loads and unloads, but they do have drop and hooks with certain places. They are very good about getting you where they want for your hometime. All the dispatchers I’ve had were easy to get along with.

Pros

Hometime, equipment (mostly have been good), miles

Cons

Nothing I can think of at the moment. They’ve treated me very well so far as an employee

.40cpm on all miles always on Craigslist, no wonder why gross 685.00 net 300.00 been going on since January 2016. Always have to fight with pay roll. If you like fighting for your pay every payday Leonards Express is for you. They use to be a good company today that can't be said.Good Luck if you decide to drive for leonards 1100 mile weeks and always live unloading is for the birds.

I worked for leonards, drove regional 5 days a week. Didnt care to do long haul. i averaged close to 2000 a week not leaving the North east. i was home every friday and didnt leave till monday morning. 

There is a reason why some drivers don't get miles, because the more capable drivers take it from them. Trust me, there were problems at leonards, but they always had the miles for me because i did my job and did it well. 

i left leonards because i was offered a better job driving local and being able to come home every day. plus better pay. the only thing bad about leonards is the drivers there. bunch of cry babies who want something for nothing. 

The drivers have more than ruined this place, with being lazy and crashes and just plain stupidity, they have no one to blame but themselves. 

And oh yea, the have a first class payroll office, never once had a problem with them and my pay.

I worked there for 3 years doing there local gig out of scranton and they had there moments where they could piss me off but for most part they were fair to me, sorry you had a bad experience but like that last guy there was always plenty of loads to do. if you had Andy as your dispatcher that could have been your problem as he was a bad apple up there.. I would have stayed longer but moved and they didn't offer local where I moved to.

leonards express top notch compamy "ok"

I just got back home in Springfield Ma. and would love to thank____ for setting me up a 8 hr bus ride to get to Rodchester it was great & i also thank you for not setting up the cab they did not have my name and said you have not contact them with my name so I paid $78.00 for that so dont let them double dip ya for the bill.. Finally I want to especially thank Mr. _______ & __ for setting me up with allstar aaccomidations at the comfort inn on RT 96 in farmington for using there awsome Leonards company visa that was declined not once but four times twice at the comfort inn and twice at the budget in because the owner owns both accross from each other due to that I was put out in -8 below cold and spent another 70 on a cab and 88 on a bus ticket home that didnt leave untill 4:40am cause god knows if you cant afford a hotel room how can you pay me.. I will post this in every form I can and let the better business bureau know also..Thanks
