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!

Hi, my name is Cameron and I've been with HMD for six months. What I like about HMD is the entire aspect of the company. The equipment is great, the dispatchers are great, the pay is comparable to any other company that you can potentially find. I haven't had too many issues. The transparency and consistent communication that they give whenever you have questions or concerns that you gotta call about, they're always there. They always make theirself available. And they make sure that they work for you.

Kwame S.
In the company since 2026
My name is Kwame. Well, HMD Trucking is my third company, trucking company that I've worked with. And honestly, I will say HMD is the best trucking company I've ever worked for. I recommend HMD Trucking for every truck driver who wants, who wants good miles, who doesn't want to sit at the truck stop waiting for a load and all that. I mean, yeah, you have to have at least one year experience to join HMD, which I think isn't that bad. And so, if you have six months experience and you have a good clean record, I mean, I would recommend HMD Trucking for you 100%, 100%. They are, they are really awesome. Trust me, they are.
Reggie and Charles W.

My name's Reggie Williams. Been out here with HMD going on three years. My name's Chris Williams, and I run team with my husband. We got a good communication with our dispatcher. So we have no problem with him. Our dispatcher by the name of Shelby, he's awesome. If you're looking for a good company, looking for stability, looking for great benefits, looking for the miles and the home time, HMD. We definitely recommend HMD.
