Pros

You are a name not a number. Salary paid. Paid insurance. Pets welcome. Dispatch always available. You can pick your own truck color. No judgement. No chaining you have to stop and wait until safe to proceed and it doesn't affect your pay.

Cons

Being away from my family

Pros

Salary pay, you know what you're getting every week. Paid health insurance for drivers Home time bank does not zero out after taking home time. Paid home time

Cons

Some of the DM's like to micromanage drivers Sometimes brokers call you to verify pickup and delivery. Occasionally DMs have unrealistic expectations of drivers, ignoring time available on driver's clock, not factoring in possible conditions such as weather and traffic.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for being part of ShipEX for several years. We’re glad to hear you've had a positive experience overall, especially with our salary pay structure, paid health insurance, and the flexibility our Home Time Bank offers. We also appreciate your honest feedback. Our Driver Managers (DMs) are focused on keeping drivers moving safely and efficiently. While it may sometimes feel like close communication, our DMs are highly focused on operational needs and do not have the capacity to micromanage. Their role is to support drivers through strong communication, especially during key events like claims, accidents, or situations that naturally require more frequent updates. We also want to emphasize that trip planning and hours management are handled thoughtfully. While some plans may not seem to line up at first glance, trust that there is often a broader strategy in place — such as coordinating load swaps with other drivers — to keep freight moving and get you where you need to be safely and on time. We truly appreciate your continued commitment to ShipEX and value the feedback you’ve shared.

Pros

Flat rate, daily pay, miles, good equipment, good recruiters.

Cons

dispatch is overseas, must use own devices for Elogs, dispatches, and anything else related to the work. Bonuses are supposed to be paid out when over certain miles. Per the math we should have had 3k, ended up with 225. Low weekly pay in comparison to pay per mile.

We appreciate you highlighting the positives, including our pay, miles, modern equipment, and recruiting team. To clarify, our drivers receive a consistent weekly salary, so they always know exactly what their paycheck will be, along with monthly bonuses that are calculated separately. If there was any confusion around practical mile calculations or how those figures are determined, our Safety team or your Driver Manager would have been happy to walk through that process in detail. We’re glad you shared your perspective and wish you the best on your future endeavors!
