“THE COMPANY: To start everyone here was very pleasant and very honest. Me and Jennifer have been absolutely blessed with how wonderful everyone here is. Everyone here is in a position to help you be as successful as possible with the system they have developed. (Which is better than most I’ve seen 9.5/10). AAA will keep you busy and help you make yourself some money, good money if you work hard. If you need more structure then this lease option is not for you. This is a more advanced setup designed for those who want to work. The equipment they have is top notch. You can get Volvo 860, Pete 579, T680, Cascadia. All in excellent shape. They take photos of when you receive the truck and trailer you are issued. You are an independent contractor, if the equipment is damaged you are responsible just as you would be for your personal car. You rent/own the equipment, this company will work with you. If something happens it happens, everything is case by case but what I have seen is if you have the right attitude and are honest they can work with you. They know you have bills and responsibilities at home so they will offer to spread your payments out over time. Something everyone can agree on. They however don’t want your lies, your attitude and your bad vibes. These folks are super upbeat, very positive people running a very legitimate business designed for experienced contractors or people who can communicate and learn. Sobi, Marco/Marco/Marco, CJ, Eddy, Sonya, Maggi, Nicola and others have all been the absolute best. THE PAY: We are currently just renting and have been for 3 months. We are on the 80% of the gross payout of the load. They send the rate con directly from the broker to us in email for each load. We average about 11000 gross a week as a team on 4000-4500 miles. After everything clears and the dust settles we average 4000-5000 a week. Which after taxes put aside 1500+ per person on this mileage is just astonishing. We work hard but are not overwhelmed with work trying to chase paper. THE EQUIPMENT AND MAINTENANCE They have all newer equipment available, if what you want is not immediately available I’m sure you can make arrangements to get upgrades later on. We have a 2023 Volvo VNL 860 with 155000 miles (had 100k when we got it) so far everything we have had issues with have been normal wear and tear and they have paid for it. (Since they are paying they choose what you get). With that said we needed new steer tires because of bad shocks and a bad alignment from the previous driver. They replaced the shocks, did a triple axle alignment, did a full service PM, and allowed me to pick the tires if I paid for one. ( I like nicer steer tires because I take good care of my tires) Overall they paid over 3000$ and I only paid 1000$ (tell me where else they do that on a lease) Not a bad deal if you ask me, most lease programs make you pay for all of it. Whenever I have any issues they ask me to submit proof and after I do with out any hesitation they tell me to go get the work done. They trust me and I respect them. Sometimes they tell me to find a place and other times they have assigned me a place to goto. I give them a 10/10 for they maintenance, they take their equipment very seriously. You will get a new dot inspection quarterly instead of yearly. ( So if you’re someone who never looks at your equipment this is a kind of fail safe for you. This is also a fail safe for them so they can know how you are handling their equipment.) It is their equipment until you pay it off, that’s how it works with everyone. DISPATCH: This is a variable market. You may take a load that pays 3$ or more a mile then have to take a load that only pays 1.50 a mile. That’s just how this works. Never in my 3 months here have I ever had to take back to back bad paying loads. So anymore I tell them just to book me unless it’s really bad. We live in Florida so we take 1$ mile to get out of Florida to a good paying load. It is normally a short run to Chicago followed up by a very nice load after. Professional communication is key 10/10.”

1454 Elmhurst Rd, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007, United States

“At one time it was a good company to work for. It seems they don't have the freight they once did. Came out from home time , waited more then 4 hours for a load . My dispatch at one time was in Elk Grove,IL. now they are in another Country. They use E speed adapter, that system is very dangerous ( micro manage's the truck ) that system has many issues. I'm looking for another company.”

“Good easy money. Hope I can visit again”

300 S Wacker Dr #2650, Chicago, IL 60606, United States

“A Recruiter from Swoon Staffing reached out to me via text and asked if I was interested in a position and if so, when would be a good time to chat. I mentioned 15 minutes would be great. I received the response that she was not available at that time but would contact me after her meeting. I said that would be fine. She never did. I find it very disrespectful when Recruiters reach out to people and then drop them. As a Recruiter myself, I never communicate so irresponsibly with people like that. As a Recruiter, you are the face of the company you work for, and for the clients you represent. In this case, Swoon Staffing appears to be unprofessional and an extreme let down. It’s too bad Caterpillar has this staffing represent them.”

2202 166th St, Markham, IL 60428, United States

“I basically “played” hopscotch with one of their trucks/drivers all day throughout Georgia on Aug 18 (on I 24 I think - heading south towards Florida) This driver was very safe as traffic raced all around. I was actually so impressed it motivated me to write this. Other trucks were scary but this driver was patient and steady! As the day went on, every chance I had I followed this driver because I felt safer behind this driver! Thank you!!”

8535 S 77th Ave, Bridgeview, IL 60455, United States

“Came here very skeptical and I've made some very good money here. All the way up to CEO are very helpful and appreciate there drivers as long as that truck is putting miles on it. They are about their money and want to see the drivers succeed as well. They care about their drivers and respect each driver just like any other company. Thought I had found the company for me and wish I would have been here years ago.”
