Nigel T.

In the company since 2020

Hello there, my name is Nigel Tuckey. Wanted to share with you a little bit about my experience. Beginning with the extensive training and orientation I received, right up through the professional support in the background that I've received from dispatch, and safety, and even the fine people in the repair shop to get me back on the road. Very early on, in the first couple of months, I was able to achieve or meet and even exceed my goals as far as mileage and earnings are concerned. Would highly recommend them. Feels like a family atmosphere, a lot of great support, a lot of fun, and I've really enjoyed my experience so far!

Bonnie B.

In the company since 2021

Hi, my name is Bonnie Burton and I have been with the company for about 10 months. I really like the family atmosphere with HMD and I like that if I have any questions it's not hard to find the answer. Everybody knows who you are, they remember you, they know your name, so that's a good feeling.

Mark C B.

I've been with Benefit/HMD for about three years now, and it's been great. Worked for a few companies before and Benefit/HMD has been fantastic.  They've been treating me great, the dispatchers have been wonderful, and the office is great. Seasonal stuff, holidays they're always fixing up. Everybody's very friendly, the shop is very good and efficient, so I've been loving it, nothing to complain about. Best company I've ever been with, and supposedly I've worked for some of the best companies in the country, and so Benefit/HMD has been fantastic, thanks so much.

In the company since 2021

Hello, my name is Michel West. I work for HMD/Benefit Trucking, I'm out of Houston Texas. I've been with the company two years, I really enjoy. The pay is good, home time, vacation - it's okay. I appreciate everybody. One thing that sticks out with Benefit and HMD is they got nice equipment, they got some new trucks I'm in a 2022 Peterbilt. HMD I'm proud of y'all, keep on doing what you're doing. 

Powell M.

In the company since 2023

Hi, my name is Powell, I have been with the HMD for almost two months now. They very much appreciate their driver's work effort, and they're kind, very kind people. You call safety, you get the help, call dispatch there is help. I can safely say it is the relationship that they have with their drivers, the relationship between the dispatcher and the drivers, it is one of the most important fundamentals of logistics work, and it makes it easier to communicate with your dispatcher. Also, the fact that you can get help any time of the day with everyone willing to save you. It is a good company man and yeah, I kind of love it here.

Great place to work honestly. I've been here almost a year and everything is awesome. Good equipment steady miles some weeks are better than others but that's trucking.  What I was told while being recruited is actually what happens here and I gotta tell you I've been out here 15 years and worked for quite a few companies and it's very strange for a company to actually carry through on what they promise but this company does.

In the company since 2023

Hi, my name is Mohamed, I've been working with HMD for the last 90 days. It's a great company and I like it. The equipment, the dispatcher, home time — no problem. You're always going to be running on brand-new equipment you don't have to worry about. Even if a breakdown sometimes happens, it's not going to be that long, you will be in the shop the next hour, and then you will keep running the next day. Great company and you can try with your own, and you can see your own eyes and see how things work. 

John H.

In the company since 2021

My name is John Henningsen truck 1405 I've been with this company it'll be two years since June 10th. I wouldn't work for anyone else, they're a great company. My equipment with HMD is brand new, my dispatcher Jerry is the best I love working for him, love working for HMD. I've only worked for four different companies, HMD by far is one of the best companies I've ever worked for. I'm 63 years old, and I hope to retire here, HMD is the best.

Best company all around to be apart of! HMD is like a family, they actually listen when you need them too and address problems accordingly. I've been to several other companies but i call HMD home. Equipment is very well kept together. Hometime is kept as promised.

Wayne H.

In the company since 2022

My name is Wayne. I've worked for HMD/Benefit since January. I like working there, it's a very relaxed atmosphere, the equipment is good, they got plenty of miles and plenty of loads. They don't lie to you, they have all the miles you want, it's a relaxed atmosphere and like they said in the beginning if you want miles come here they have the miles.  They always have loads, my salary is fine.  I enjoy it, I come home every weekend, my dispatch is fine he's very relaxed we joke around a lot, we have a good time and that's what I look for.

Overall, HMD is a great company to work for! In the transportation industry, there are a lot of factors outside of a drivers as well as a companies control. 95% of the issues I've had on the road, at shippers and/or receivers, or just in general are all part of the job and not a reflection of the company. In my opinion HMD does a great job of maintaining their trucks. Since I've started HMD has always kept me moving and in 9 months I have not had to wait on my dispatcher to find my next load longer than maybe an hour, and I believe that only happened one time.
