it's a job
Truck Driver (Former Employee), Indianapolis, IN – April 20, 2013
after a couple of months they cut the miles out. if you are unable to go to canada. then the miles become so poor that the gross weekly pay ends up becoming the most of $320 dollars a week before anything comes out. and that's pay is for 7 days a week. true low ballers.

Lack of caring about current employees.
Driver (Former Employee), Indianapolis, IN – January 20, 2013
Pros: good miles when they finally gave you a load.
Cons: it seemed like i was just a number.
Overall the company is very disorganised. Most of the time the left hand did not know what the right hand was doing. Their main focus seemed to be, buying up other companies and hiring those employees while ignoring the employees they already had.

I was basically my own boss, lots of freedom to set own pace.
Over the road driver (Current Employee), indianapolis, in – December 19, 2012
Pros: the pay was very good and i was able to see all the wonders of our great country
Cons: never being home for months at a time
This job allowed me to travel. The hardest part of my job was being stuck in Canada for days waiting on a load. I enjoy driving but i am ready to use my degree and have a stable job where i can be home every night.

Worst company
Regional driver (Former Employee), Dispatched out of Greensboro, NC terminal – November 19, 2012
Pros: new trucks
Cons: pay, miles, dispatch, home time
Worked on their South east regional fleet, never got home on the weekends like promised, pay is .30cpm! DM are a joke in Greensboro,NC! They would give u a 1,000mile run 2 deliver in 3days and couldnt deliver sooner of u get writing up then after 3days with the 1,000mile run u sit and wait for 1day 1 get next load, lots of local runs under 200miles, – more... problem is those local runs would be out of their Virginia or Greensboro terminal and thats not my home state so it aint like a do a 200mile run then go home. Their terminals are a joke! Virginia and Greensboro terminal dont even have a shower for drivers, swift terminals are better than theirs! Celadon terminals most r just dirt lot. Good thing is u get new truck with apu that u gona be needing the apu with all that seating and waiting u will do – less

Good company, Little disorganized at times but overall good people
CDL A OTR Truck driver (Current Employee), IndianĂ³polis, SP – August 1, 2012
Celadon gives back what you put in. If you are aggressive and stay in touch with your DM you will keep moving. If you sit and compalin you will sit and go broke. Benifits are good, Pay is what you expect with large company. Equipment is new and kept in good repair. Few worries with DOT inspections.

excellent company with new equiptment.
driver (Current Employee), Indianapolis, IN – July 3, 2012
Pros: open door policy
Cons: must be out 10-14 days before having time off
Celadon is a great company to work for. The staff is friendly and tries to help the drivers when needed. The frieght is plentifull and so are the miles given,when the economy is good. I have and would recommend Celadon to any driver looking for a stable company to work for wether it be as a company driver or lease purchase driver.

Place I wish I had not gone to work for.
Truck Driver (Current Employee), Texas – May 3, 2012
Pros: none that i can think of.
Cons: too many to list.
Made false claims about home time. Made false claims about pay rate. Made false claims about the mileage I would be getting. Do not pay for actual miles driven. Lots of lost time. Plus many more things that make them a terrible company to work for.
