Anyone ever worked/work for Magnum LTL?

Having never heard of this company I attempted to research them online. On their rather "slick website" all I was able to find was very vague statements about "depending upon experience". They do not provide any definitive answers, so "buyer beware"..

 

And does your husband have definitive numbers as far as exact pay, benefits-cost etc. home time etc. ??? Or is this just more "it sounds good, but we really don't know" ?

 

I personally would avoid them.

I would consider them a JB Hunt or Swift at a more local regional level.

I used to live in Fargo where they are based out of and they have a bad reputation with their drivers.

My ex-BIL used to work for them and I can't say he didn't get what he deserved, but there's always two sides to every story. Some of the things they dinged him for were petty.

 

And your experience living in Fargo has made you the authority for all companies Fargo~North Dakota?

I've found nothing but fair treatment from them, I am LTD and know several LTL drivers from the various terminals, all of whom seem happy. 13 terminals, transfer-ability, pay rates that are industry competitive...

I've found if you do your job properly your experience is vastly improved. They, who spend more time thinking about ways to get out of work usually have poor experiences.

 

No, but sitting and watching what they have done to friends and family and how they were treated who DID work directly for them does give it a unique perspective.

Enough so to know, you avoid both Magnum AND EW Wylie out of Fargo.

 

Well again... I'm skeptical of your second hand knowledge with regard to Magnum Companies. What capacity/division/location did your x BIL hold with them?

Perhaps you could convince him to sign up and enlighten the masses.

On EW Wiley... the only experience I have with them is an empty flatbedder down in South Carolina didn't like that my 387 with 45,000 lbs. of peanuts in the box wasn't fast enough for him and I got the "number 1" as he blew past me...

Guess we should stay away from them, their drivers are all hot-heads.

 

I started with EW Wylie in 1990. My first year was with them.

So before you start with your BS, THAT was first hand personal knowledge. It's funny when you hear drivers 20+ years later talking about the same stupid games there.
