Ward Trucking reviews

Been at some larger companies where drivers are a number. Ward has a very tenured and experience driver team. Also, very good home time and very good pay.

Regional Eastern PA, MD or NJ. Home every weekend averaging 48 hours of home time, 28% gross of load. Average gross 1,000 weekly. Also accessorial pay - drop and hooks, detention etc. Very good package for a small company.

I've worked for Ward for almost ten years now. Pay and home time is exactly what they said it would be.

Benefits package is great and doesn't cost a small fortune.

been with them for 9 years, they have great hometime and stand by their drivers....even better they pay great and settle weekly with excellent benefits!!!

I've been employed here at Ward Truckload Express for over 10 years now and have every intention of retiring one day from there. Lately I've talked with lots of other drivers and they were complaining that their weekly paycheck was down, their miles were down and they were having to deal with more and more broker loads that paid less and less.

Maybe I'm just a fortunate driver as it has been exactly the opposite here. The second week in December was the highest income week the comapny had all year in 2012. It's hard to believe since our normal busy season runs from the end of March until about the end of October. I've been a driver since 1974 when I got out of the Army and can remember freight started to slack off about Thanksgiving, got really thin from Christmas until about the middle to the end of February and then slowly recovered into March. I realize that Ward Corporation has a bunch of sales people out calling on potential customers,(last I heard there were about 35 sales people making calls) but our loads haven't skipped a beat. It seems that every week I either pick up a load or deliver a load to a new customer's location. The last five weeks have me scratching my head and wondering why there hasn't been a slow down like there was in the past. I don't know what has changed and I'm certainly not complaining that I'm busy but I can't seem to figure out why we are busy but a lot of other drivers are complaining about being slow. I've told other drivers that I've talked with that were complaining that their earnings were off to give Ward Truckload Express a try. Granted we only run the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and Delaware and you have to live in one of those four states to get hired on but with ten years in and almost no complaints, I think it was a very good choice I made over ten years ago.
