I would not normally write a rebuttal in the midst of business, however, the comments I am rebutting make me ill to read. Malone does nothing but lie to their drivers all day and night as well. If you dont have enough to cover your own fuel, they will, but you roll into every truck stop on fumes, scared you will die before you make it to the pump. And who's fault would that be? Yours of course, and you would pay for the truck to bring more out to you. They short you, they lie about how much the load is going to pay, they restrict you and your movements. It is more like being in a concentration camp on wheels than anything else I ever experienced in a truck, Im not exaggerating!!!!!!
We ran a team in this situation, we could barely eat while at this company, some days it was ramen and crackers, and that was it, for the entire day. No money on the cards, and barely enough fuel, and I mean barely, the needle was past E when I rolled into the last truck stop, coming in off the desert. They dont care, they dont understand, and they dont want to hear your crap. I thought I could make any truck make money til this one, it never materialized.
If you want to torture yourself, go to Malone. We were in orientation with 12 teams, NONE lasted 2 months. They ALL had the same thing to say about Malone.In fact, one was trying to get a class action going, and stated the attorney calculated everything, and you couldnt possibly pay your personal bills if they paid you permanently like they were paying us 12 teams. 12 TEAMS MALONE, all 12 quit due to no money. All 12 were experienced truck drivers that had been on the road and been successful at points and times in their career. Malone fixed that, even the people who had money when they came there were broke when they left.

Malone does not make claims regarding all miles. Malone is 100% owner operator based. Therefore, you are paid based on the percentage of the load and the fuel surcharge. As an owner op with CRST Malone you will receive 75% of the load + 100% of the fsc. That averages out to $2 per loaded mile.
That is not to say you will not haul loads that pay less and some that will pay more.
In the instance there is tarping involved in the load, it is figured into the cost of the load.
You are given access to all of our agents, our loadboard and a dispatcher.
