Anyone Drive For H O Wolding

Looking for drivers from H O Wolding to talk to before deciding on a mega company.

I have been with HOW for a year and a half, it's been good. Equipment is well maintained, so we tend to get green lights and can bypass the weigh stations. I have never had any issues with pay, or reimbursements for expenses. They give suggested routes, but you can improvise within reason. My DM almost always has one or two loads lined up for me before I finish the one I am on. I have always been able to get home when I request it, that is one thing Wolding is known for. Pet policy has a large deposit, but it is refundable if pet no longer rides along and has done no damage. You can bring a rider along. The yard is nothing fancy, but it's adequate. Everyone I have dealt with has been really nice and easy to work with. There are quite a few people, both office staff and drivers, who have been there for many, many years, and that says something right there! The company is family owned, and has a family feel to it. Somewhere along the line, drivers started a thing of waving to each other out on the road. It may seem goofy, but being in Mississippi, or New Mexico, or Minnesota, or wherever, and getting that friendly wave from a fellow Wolding makes me feel like I'm not out here all alone. We also have a driver's Facebook page that is sort of a digital water cooler where we share questions, rants, talk about shippers/receivers, where to park, etc. and sometimes meet up at stops for a meal.

Hey Deb R, have you experienced slow freight or no freight with this company ? I really like what I heard in school from the recruiter. Just trying to see how much he told us was true. He told us solo expect 2500 miles per week.

I always have a load to run. Can count on one hand the times I had to wait for an assignment, and then it was only about an hour, and my DM was apologizing for the delay. In Jan./Feb. some drivers were saying they thought things were a bit slow, but that's a seasonal thing for trucking. I did not really notice a slowdown. And yes, 2500 a week for sure. Many drivers do more like 3000, but I guess I take too many bathroom breaks.
