They have all new equipment, fully loaded with ELD, truck route GPS, satellites, and scanners on all trucks.

I am currently working with Mcconnell and i am about 25 year and this is worst job experience, sometime payments are not on time, 90 percent truck and trailer are defective. From the first day i drove about 40,000 miles and have to call safety and technician about 15-20 times,company does not respond on time and rude and unmanner answers on call.
They send back home after 10 day period and within these ten days about 30-40 hours are waiting time those are unpaid. A thousands of deliveries and pickup even they promise for not a single pickup,delivery. 
Complany is banned for province PNP because alot of case were filed on company and they mostly looking for staff those need immigration documents because they can easily harass them. 
And thousand of thing still i am missing about this worst experience

Awesome work environment many different nationalities to learn from and work with 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on the day it was pretty much the same routine daily but alot depended on the weather for my part of the job

I have been with the company for the last eight years and have done many different runs to both the US and Canada.   I find the staff in the dispatch department professional with a common goal of getting the job done.  All interactions with Management have been positive.   It is a tough, demanding job but if you are looking for a good, professional career I would certainly recommend McConnell Transport as a place to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no good part about working at McConnell Transport 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the dispatch team and some of the office staff. Getting cheated out of days off 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful and exhausting. Dispatch that is almost impossible to deal with. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The days are either very long and stressful or there's nothing to do; No balance

Very low pay and very low miles nowhere near the miles advertised. The  dispatchers and staff are rude, lie to drivers and treat them horribly. The Trucks are constantly breaking down with no paid repair time. I sincerly hope anyone looking to work here reads the bad reviews and takes all into consideration as this is a truly terrible company there are better ones out there. 
No paid sitting time which there is a lot of there is nothing good about this company or anyone who works here. 

It’s fair deal place, you receive what you signed for. They got the driver - you get the PR. 
 + Drivers receive truck attached only to them, not like in some companies - a “surprise” truck every trip.
+ You drive safe - they treat you well. New trucks, International’s and Cascadia’s.
+ Good “Home time” duration between trips, not a 36 hours reset and roll again.
+ Nice “home yard” - with own maintenance/repair shop, showers and laundry for drivers.
- Sometimes lack of communication with drivers from dispatch... But we all just a humans after all! :)

What is the best part of working at the company?
Worst company I have ever worked for. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The owner and his daughter. They are down your neck 24/7 micromanaging 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very very toxic. Worst work environment I have ever experienced. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You sign in via fingerprint, you make your way to your desk and have over 500 emails waiting for you.

Had no problem to get 10,000km per month.

Reasons I left were because of:
- 'no dead-head rule' which prevented me to take truck to get food/groceries/etc
- if you were in the yard waiting for a load for 2 or 3 days you didn't get paid.
- can't take truck home
- closest place to drop truck for my home time was 1.5hrs away from home
- fuel and idle bonuses were almost impossible to earn
