I seem to find more comments against Hurricane Express every time I turn on my computer!! They are def crooks and need to be shut down! They owe me plenty of money and from what I can see plenty of others as well. Working for them you aren't even driving their trucks or yours as the "owner/operator" of their trucks because the trucks are leased from the dealers! So the dealers own those trucks not Hurricane! From beginning to end that company was a joke! I was charged for my bus ticket to come out there even though that was their expense! Charged for my drug test, hotel room, even the first truck wash before I was EVEN an employee!!! A lot of those expenses they try to hide in double talk and paperwork that never matches!! My second trip when I got close enough to go by the office they almost freaked out!! I was asked why was I there and to get off the lot right away!! Finally after asking several people I found out that they had COMPANY coming! The federal kind that they didn't want the drivers around! The safety director even wanted to REDO my logs so that I had more hours to run, illegal of course! They left me out for a month and a half before making the mistake of getting me too close to home and I got out! I have so much that happened n wish someone was powerful enough to put them outta business! They give an already tough industry a bad name! I think its easy to see from other reports I've read that they don't know what they are doing and need to be shut down!! Too bad it seems that we are just lowly truckers who get what we deserve!! Any info to help shut them down would be appreciated!!

I currently work at Hurricane/Naedok. Since I have been there it has been a positive experience. I have great equipment to drive and I run legally. As a matter of fact, in respect to the load I am currently under, they even asked me when I want to deliver it. As with any trucking company, or any job for that matter, there will be things you like about it and don't like. Overall, I am enjoying my time here and plan on staying. As far as you saying you didn't make any money... I don't really know your story (nor do I care) but I do know that I have only had one check under $1100 dollars for the week and it was $775...not too bad considering my best check was for $1895... and yes the check cashed. As far as the office personnel, everyone has been friendly and even the owner Kaedon will take the time to discuss how you can make even more $$$ per week. But you're not going to make as much if you're in every truck stop putting yourself behind schedule and then keeping your foot to the floor burning fuel trying to make up time. You are in a lease purchase...loosely translated...you are running YOUR own business. You have to control your expenses...one of them being fuel. Anyway, sorry you had a bad experience at Naedok. I've worked for companies where I had a bad experience. I happy here. I run legal, make good money, the people are nice and great equipment to operate. It's a good fit for me.
