Please PAUSE the Strike!

I support the Strike but, with all the devastating damage from the hurricane, the strikers need to pause and get back to work. This country needs you too much now!!!!

STAY AWAY FROM SWIFT KNIGHT. AUTONOMOUS TRUCKS COMING SOON!!!
I started with a mega carrier out of CDL school. Everything you said is true. It didn't take long to realize, I am just a number to them. They give me limited miles and I end up sitting for days and when I ask why I'm not getting any loads they say the freight is low right now (it's been "low" since I started with them 4 months ago). So, you NEVER end up making the money they advertise for the position. I get home about half of the time on the days I've requested, which isn't too bad. I'm researching EPES Transport because I saw an opportunity on Indeed near where I live. Your videos seem to be truthful and informative. Thank you.
@@anpsteph Hi there! Thanks for your reply. I hope you find something at Epes that is a good fit! Take care!
Nope there's no robot truck it can do to work with a Freightliner can do you're absolutely right those piece of junk trucks can't even carry anything they'd be overloaded and the the batteries would catch on fire trucks like you actually pulled a load and got enough power to even push snow if you have to plow with a dump truck I'm never going to buy a battery operated vehicle that's crazy
You're absolutely right it's ridiculous
Forgot about 4 in in Virginia it's beautiful looks like it's going to rain now boohoo 😢 I actually like seeing the snow on the ground
Well, I hope you enjoyed that. Quick note: I'm moving to Washington! Couldn't find a gig in SoCal, but did in Kent, WA. I'll be a shuttle truck driver for TEC Equipment Volvo & Mack dealership moving trucks to customers in the SeaTac Portland, OR areas. Nifty! Good luck to you & stay safe!✌🏼
@thedale2112 Hey Clyde! Thanks for the reply and update. Watch out for Bigfoot in WA. I heard he lives there. Best of luck brother!!
RUclips is use everyone's accounts to do crimes on Google and RUclips and they are doing secret codes with the letters if you see it report it to the FBI and FCC right away.
Is it weird that watching your video, I am able to tell you what was in the container behind you? My wife works for ICL.. Hahaha
@@Bigfordman123 WOW! I would like to pick her brain. I wondered how orders get from ICL to epes and stuff?
👍I’m do cnt too in Utah
@@minhphan1058 That's great! Thank you for commenting!
They are a good company but they have driver facing cameras. Some drivers will not like that.
@user-sf9sf5nm4c True but, honestly, I forget they are there.

What a freak show
What's the pay like
@wtf1231122 Hey there. It's .52 a mile round trip. You can make if you have a haz mat load or pick up a load on the way down.
@elgordo496 thank you
I pulled for Epes back around 2011-2012 pulling ICL out of Wilmington. We had sleepers and went as far as Louisiana and west Kentucky. They were a good company back then too and you are right, no micromanaging. Is Steve Martin still dispatching ICL?
@Eric_Cleckler Hi Eric. Thanks for replying. I don't know Steve. Take Care!
Merry Christmas, Brother Trey.🎅✌🏼Santa Clyde...
@thedale2112 Merry Christmas my Brother! Have a great new year!
@elgordo496 Y'all, too...✌🏼
Epes are the best, wish the PAY was better, but this driver is telling the truth. Drv. 20162, Charlotte Charlotte Terminal.
@kennethclement8742 Thanks Kenneth.
How often do you go into the north east?
@tjtj1692 I never did. They do have people who drive only NE and Canada. Just let them know what you prefer and you will get it!
Yes driver facing Camara Not bad they don't watch you unless something happens and they start recording Been with Eoes 21 year's now local 18 of the them Got over 1,500,000 With them Owned Penske now but still not With all that said and done Yes i would say Epes is a good company to work for And i would recommend them anyone
I am starting next week.

Are they still hiring people with their CDL with no experience?
@@JLF51802 No. Need 1 year.
Greensboro is hiring no experience, my cousin took a cdl course & just got his license last week & a job with them
@@princephan Is that a company? What’s the full name?
@princephan Really? That's great! Wish them Good Luck for me!!!
@elgordo496 I can definitely do that. If you guys get referral bonuses I can have him jot down your information, I'm a 25 year trucking veteran & I know every little bit helps
Thanks for the information what does your home time look like ? I'm thinking about doing Regional so i can be home on weekends and maybe 1 or 2 days during the week is that possible at this company?
You can get home weekly. Epes is good about that. The 1 to 2 during the week may be hard to get.
Thanks for the info
We are not cheap labor. We are not low skill labor. We are a Critical component to the safety of EVERY FAMILY in America.
I cant say what i really think without i getting deleted... Whats going on
I’ll bite. First off, the second you find the need to colorfully let the viewers know that it was an ‘illegal’ that was at fault.. you made it political. And it’s sad… so right off the bat, we knew where you were going with this clip. And sadly, it makes it seem like this was made in bad taste. Secondly, I don’t care if he’s an illegal or not.. charges being reduced down to misdemeanors is a travesty. I understand it was an accident, but actions have consequences. And if you thought getting behind a rig with no proper training was a good idea, then you’ve gotta deal with the blow back. Next.. for those that (correctly) feel like this is a travesty, and feel the need to blame the (literal) president.. you need to blame local Colorado government officials. It just shows how poisoned your mind is. Lastly.. the owner of that company should be held fully liable as well. Because I’ve got the feeling he’s been getting work done for him on the cheap, since the driver wasn’t able to show him a valid CDL.
I agree with nearly everything you said, we are on the same page..... except for........ I do partially blame Joe for rejecting the stay in Mexico deal, on day one of his presidency. I also dont understand how Colorado officials could be at fault, in any way shape or form?????? They have deported him 16 times and never qualified him to be behind the wheel at all.......... What we do agree on is his employer took advantage of an entirely different culture of people, this employer preyed on his economic situation and benefitted from cheap labor at the expense of public saftey...... We need to Build the wall, revoke any documents given in the last 5yrs and force any unvetted migrants to go back home. Can we agree that??Can we agree that driving truck is not low skilled labor? Can we agree that it takes highly skilled persons to operate heavy trucks around the public? Highly skilled and highly payed to ensure your family stays safe??
@@clemsmith8799 We agree on a majority, just not all. Sure, you can blame Joe for the remain in Mexico deal, but it wouldn't be fair to do so, if you're not willing to hold the other side of the aisle accountable for pulling out of that border deal last month, at the 11th hour. (We all know why, but that's for another conversation) I think Colorado officials could've red flagged him. Obviously they didn't. I'm not sure how or why. 16 times!?!?! I also disagree with 'building a wall' .. you've gotta think bigger and smarter. Why don't we hold BOTH sides of the aisle accountable for more than 40 years of lazy legislating? Do you know that the average wait time for citizenship in other developed countries is just over 6 months, and the average wait for citizenship to the US is over 6 YEARS? How does that make sense? BOTH SIDES have let down immigrants that are trying to better their lives. This should have been handled DECADES ago. But it hasn't. Why? Because when a democrat is in the white house, the repubs use it against them. And when a Republican in in the white house, the dems use it against them. I wish it were as easy as snapping our fingers to fix things.. but too many agendas and too much money is at stake in politics. It's disgusting. As for driving a truck being skilled labor.. of course. Anyone who says differently is as uneducated as they come. I just can't get over 2 misdemeanors. Wow. Is this guy some type of government informant? Who gets that many chances? And who skates away with a misdemeanor in a situation like that?
If this administration had enforced the laws that are already on the books we would not be in this situation!
@@garytjenkins you’re uneducated and you have an agenda. Living in the south I see and hear it every day. Keep your emotions in check if you’d like to have a grown up conversation. ✌🏼
@@garytjenkins I think Joe repealed all the laws Trump had on the book, on day one.
Keep voting Joe Biden.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
🤮
The FMCSA DOT CVSA and your corrupt Congress should all be held responsible because they are allowing these foreigners that don’t speak write and read English, which is against the law, to possess a cdl
The driver and the owner of that company should go to jail for a long time...
Lol a daycab....
That’s some bull right there that off duty driver was just trying to make home to his family and because of that drivers disregard for safety someone else’s family paid the price while he essentially walked away with a slap on the wrist one of the harsh realities for us drivers out here on the road is there we are all one bad decision away from our lives changing forever and the scary fact of it is it doesn’t have to be your bad decision
R u still with them? I'm thinking of coming over
Hi Mark! I am still at EPES but, on a different route. I am doing local , taking containers from the yard to the Port of Wilmington NC everyday. Things slowed down on the Bosch account and, the had to eliminate some drivers. It is still a good company to drive for! Come on over!!!!!
Hi there. I'm very sorry to hear this happened to you! I am considering Epes as a new driver, and came across your original 3-month review video while seeking recent opinions about the company. Perhaps I can assist with the financial setback. I would be happy to give my recruiter your information if Epes has some sort of referral program. Let me know.
Thank you Mahogany! My driver code is FEEEDW. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Estes is still a good place. Pay is the same as everyone else and dispatch is real chill. Good luck!
That HR Boss saw a lawsuit coming. Smart man.
Hi there!! Thank you for your reply!!! Have a great day!!
Does anyone at megas speak english? :)
Si Senor!
Wow! No investigation? Just fuck you?? You're a better person than me, Bro. I would've been all in someone's grill! Glad they figured it out a week later. Anyway, Leonard's Express has a yard at the Port of Wilmington that I picked this load of bananas from. I'm in MN now delivering at 2am tonight. It's a Walmart DC in Mankato, MN. So, I know where you're at! Take good care, Bro...✌🏼
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you Brian ! Hope you are well!
Are you company driver or OO?
Company.
Hey I did forget to ask is the 73 cents per mile really true? or do you get less than that? when you start off.
is EPES worth going to I just finished my one year with western express been deciding between barr-nunn and working for EPES not sure what driver at the company you work for make weekly?
Go with epes. I never made less than 900 a week. P&D is hard but, they will train you!
@@elgordo496 Now quick question I saw they have a reigonal for virginia is that the same thing? they said home weekly I wouldnt mind stay out another week or so.
Can you make good money at Epes? Looking to join! And do they still have there lease option?
Yes! mainly on the Bosch Dedicated out of New Bern NC, I don't know about the lease option. Sorry!!
@@treyfeeley2519 thanks my guy💪🏾🔥💯
Do EPES trucks come with APU’s?
No.
Do the trucks come with APU’s?
Hi Prince! No APU's. Just inverters. Now, I need to point out that they do have the Espar bunk heaters that work GREAT and you have the optimized idle which, will keep AC on in the summer.
Taco bell is hiring
How’s orientation and what’s the pay if you don’t mind me asking? You doing OTR or regional?
Orientation is 1-2 days. Pay is good. I am doing dedicated for Bosch. It's kinda like otr because, you can go anywhere. Including Canada!
Thank you for the quick reply. I’m considering going to epes as well. Do you know if they make you do a physical and drug screen again if I already have my dot medical card and drug screen on file for clearinghouse? Also what kind of screening are they doing urine or hair?
@@heraustin If you have your DOT card, you won't need another. The test is urine only.
