  • Pride Transport is in the spotlight today. Many of you astute viewers have written in about Pride Transport and how they treat drivers very good. I agree. The reviews of Pride Trucking are very good. In this Pride Transport Review I give the good and the bad of the place and I talk about Pride Transport training, Pride Transport trucks, the Pride Transport Pet Policy and some about those 13 speed Pride Transport Trucks. Do they even have any left? I bet they are hard to get. You do not need experience at Pride Transport but you do need a CDL license to get hired. They do not provide CDL Training. Pride Transport has things like paid holidays, guaranteed detention pay and a new mattress in the trucks. Also, no slip seating the sleeper trucks. I like that. What I can't get over is the fact that in phase 2 of training you are team trained as they call it. This is where the trainer is sleeping while you are driving. I think this should not be allowed by anyone and it should be outlawed by the FMCSA. No one would allow this in any other industry but it is getting common in the trucking industry. I am also not a fan of optimized idle. I really didn't know anyone used this anymore but here we are. The truck stops and starts its engine while you are sleeping to maintain the temperature. It is annoying to you and very annoying to your neighbors who are also trying to get some sleep. No driver facing cameras is a plus. There is no listed guaranteed weekly pay and I think that is becoming a must today with the sitting you could be doing. Some companies say they average more than a minimum and so I say pay a minimum and you will hardly ever have to actually pay it. The more experience you have I think this is better than the less experience you have. That team training is no way to train new drivers.

    I work for Pride. All of the new trucks have APUs. And if you don't feel safe to drive then you can park, they don't pressure you at all. I don't ever chain and they even rechecked my delivery a couple of times because I told them I was parking. One time was even when I was just 30 mins out. I average 3000-3200 miles a week and also the benefits are really great. I have been driving for 15 years and this is by far the best company I have worked for.

    Pride actually has what they call
    .. Super single. There is, was no way I'd ever, ever, do teaming and try to sleep while someone else drives. You, my wife, wouldn't matter. Super single, you drive the truck up to the 14 hour mark. And then that baby shuts down for the mandatory 10 hours. My trainer had never done that before. He fell in love with it! We always did a minimum of 800 miles a day. For the 16 months I was there, they were amazing to me!

    You should do one on p and s transportation. The main fleet, not the others bought and operated under other authorities. My honest opinion was they were top notch for the 2yrs I drove for them, and had I stayed in the industry I would have probably retired there. Wichita falls, tx terminal. 27% line haul, and I saw the actual invoices more than a few times, and they were honest to the penny. No forced dispatch, and ANY issue I had with equipment, breakdown handled immediately, no hour hold wait, dispatcher always answered my phone call, terminal manager Jerry always met with me...damn good folk y'all. Home every weekend, home every holiday. 70k a yr and was called by my name every time. Top notch, and I've waisted my life driving for a few if the big names! Just trying to help drivers out there see some light in an industry of indentured servitude!

    I drive for pride. Couple points. #1 20% match 401k, the whole reason I'm here. 65mph govern with 30min of 68 "pedal pass". Mostly freightliners, maybe 15% Pete 579. Only the old guys get 13s, the rest are 9 speeds. I've got one and you're not getting it, even though it sucks. $5000 sign on bonus, paid $200 a month for a year. 41 cents to start, but short runs go up to 55. They have a point system for raises, I have no idea how it works, just magic i guess. Most trucks have APU & bunk heater. Ive got one of the few without an APU, I like my under bunk storage. No idea what's up with the cats, Rachel couldn't explain it to me. PFJ fueling, comdata card, they have recommendation for fuel route, but I've gotten fuel at Pacific Pride, Loves or CFN when I felt I needed it. PrePass (lots of green lights),EZpass & California FastTrak if you run out there. They will pay for parking in cases where it's warranted (late pickups), but they've never questioned me. I've never gotten layover pay, because I never stop. I'm always running on recaps, but I guess they'll let you do 34s if that's your thing.
    Overall, it's a pretty decent company. Most other guys just gush about how great they are, but I don't see it. It's better than average. My only complaint is the shop. They are over worked and my experience has been hit or miss. Your best bet is to "discover" problems out of state and take it to a dealer.
    If anyone had questions, send 'em. Thanks Mark for doing this video!

      You're welcome. This is what Pride says about APUs: "DO YOU HAVE APU'S?

      @@TruckingAnswers inverters are optional, you can only install 2 or 3 brands. They will sell it to you, for $500, $50 a paycheck. I'd say 80% of the trucks have APUs now. New Cascadias have a really weird Opti-Idle system, where it restricts due to ambient temperature. The pre-2018 control was much better.

    I’m with you on everything but the team driving issue. A qualified driver doesn’t need someone babysitting them more than the first 100hrs. Team driving gives the new driver some autonomy, opportunity to drive on their own, make their own decisions (for new drivers this is often the first time that’s ever happened in a truck) while still having a small safety net. Yes, Pride may make a little more but this is a far more efficient and safety minded way then to have new drivers sit in front of a simulator like many other companies.

    Opti idle is not bad if you are trying keep from freezing to death,no cats fine I don like cats,The deal breaker is refrigerated freight. Unless you like spending most your time in a food warehouse you should probably stay away from any company that runs reefers even if you don't have to lump that stuff unless that company is paying extremely well.

    Optimized idle would be a deal breaker for me.... Too many cities, towns etc enacting ordinances against idling... Sure most times you get away with it but the one time you don't will ruin your week/paycheck.
    It's time companies face it and get apus on their trucks or perhaps getting law makers to make it mandatory (I would say at least for carriers with 100+ trucks) and while we are on it fridges and inverters too as mandatory equipment. So the driver can be well rested eat healthy etc... That would probably help more in making the roads safer than mandatory governors etc 😂

      Even Ca allows opti idle. I pranked an idle cop at the TA Ontario a few years ago. I saw him heading to my truck and I just used my foot to turn the key! He was watching my hands as I was reading a book and just turned and walked into the center of the isle to listen for another truck idling.
      I did as a real trucker and turned on my little 24 watt CB and let the stop know that he was walking the lot.
      I got a lot of thanks for that.

      But in this day and age a quick google search on the town and just call the DA and tell him/her the cop screwed up and should be trained on what opti idle is. The DA will drop tbe charges and your company wi also be on tbe phone with the office.
      The trucks I had all had that pretty oval sticker on it.
      And every town with no idle laws pretty much train their officers on what truck can and can not be ticketed as they dont want those tickets being brought up wasting their time.
      I had a guy call in on me and when the cops showed up they saw the sticker and then went to the guys door and pointed it out to him and left.
      No problem when that sticker is out and if rookie does try you point it out to him and tell him to call his watch commander. Even Long Island cops know all about them and generators.
