Benton Express Reviews

Dog eat dog in every aspect of the company. Tyrant type supervising. About 4-5 years ago when the economy plumited, they cut everyone's pay in 5% incriments, which lead to a total of a 15% decrease in pay... and to this day they have no intentions of giving that money back. They dont have any kind of incentives. It's a shame beacause the owners and "higher ups" in the owners "click" are payed a very healthy salary while the rest of the company scrambles to feed their family. Why is this so bad? Beause it happened to everyone, including but not limited to the lot of people that have been dedicated to this company for 20+ years so it's hard to leave a company after you've been there that long and try so hard to be hopeful that they will catch up with the rest of the country. We are one of the few companies left that are still using the "economy" excuse.

Here are a list of problems for working at Benton Express. Low Pay, I am making what i made in 1986. Not a good thing. Crappy equipment. you can only patch a patch so many times. I have heard the mechanic say to stick a stick from a tree into fuel line to plug it. air conditioning is sometimes yes, sometimes no., some air ride tractors, some not. some radios, some not. trucks are dirty, trailers are never washed. trailers have trash pilled up inside. no one sweeps them out. get uniforms occassionally-every 3 years. wear them dirty. all of the trucks are old, trailers are old. just a worn out crap hole.
