I have been with ACT for over 3 years. Great equipment, great office staff and awesome mechanics. They have great home time, benifit package and bonuses. ACT has won 20 best fleets to drive for 4 yrs in a row. When they say we're family, they mean it. I recruited my brother who has been with ACT for 2 yrs now. He went through their training program.

I cannot speak highly enough about my first impressions of this company, it truly is a family and your made to feel that way from day one. If anyone is truly looking for a home to stay with look no further you have found it here. They have great equipment, great personnel who truly want to help you and make sure you succeed here. It takes a lot to impress me, but ACT has definitely achieved that goal. Give them a chance and I am sure you will feel the same as I do.

I feel at home with ACT. They are a great company to be with. I have never had any problems with any of the staff in the office, in the shop or with other drivers. Every driver I have talked with have only had positive things to say about driving for ACT. My DSM before I switched to a dedicated route (Keith Long) was truly awsome. He was very understanding and helpful if I called him with a question about anything. He never acted like he was to busy to listen and offer his help. I told him I needed a new truck because the one I had was having trouble in reverse even after being sent to kenworth

One of the worst places to drive for. They do not care about drives. And if you have a great record they do not care about you if you have a million safe SAFE record. They will lie to you, and when it comes time to uphold there end of the deal. They say "o i must of misspoke, that give us another yr. And we will see what we can do then." The list can go on why ACT is a bad company. Just lower your expectations if you come here most definitely if you are a woman.
