My husband has been with them for almost a year and out of the other 3 major companies he has ran for Dowdy is the best. Great pay, very little layover.

im leaveing for the ramada in batesville to start orientation on monday. Ill keep you posted how it goes. the recruiter i believe was honest with me, like no ez pass and ill have to pay for tolls, by the comments it looks like ill have to photo copy them for insurance. a profesional truck driver doesnt swear on the qual-com you get in trouble for that, its fcc regulated.also i was told its forced dispatch even to NYC, which isnt too appealing, but they atleast were upfront about it. i just hope its not very often. I hope its not as bad as some are saying. A good dispatcher makes up for other short comings. Its the luck of the draw. If I get EZ pass on my own any body know how much that is? or does it depend on toll roads used? oh well doesnt sound like this company has all the bells and whistles but bottem line I need to make enough money to make a liveing. not just enough to pay the bills, and eat balogni all month. Reefer freight is recsession proof Ive heard. Guess ill find out.

After working 14 years for Mr. Dowdy, last Christmas he calls me on my Christmas vacation wanting me to take a load to CA, I told him yes, but I would have to leave Sunday instead Saturday because I was at my mother's for Christmas, and that Saturday afternoon he calls me and asked me "Where are you at?", I said I am still at my mothers for Christmas he said "you told me you'd be here Saturday" I said no we agreed to Sunday. He said no the load has to leave Saturday to get to CA on time, so he sent my truck out with my stuff in it and keeped it out for 2.5 weeks and would not dispatch me on any other truck, so I was forced to quit. I called every day wanting to go out on the road and got no where with anyone. Ronnie is a no good lying supposedly Christian to do someone this way after 14 years of loyal service.

Don't go to this company. They lie to you as soon as you walk in the door! D.O.T. needs to shut this company down. All their drivers are double logging. I am afraid D.O.T. must be getting paid off since nothing is happening to this company. This company will be shut down!

Don't go to this company. They are in D.O.T. violation and they will be shut down. I hope D.O.T. will read this and go look at drivers logs matching them up to the qualcomm. they will be shut down immediatly
