Teton Transportation

Teton is the most non-caring, egotistical, mis-managed, mis-represented,over-managed company I have seen, in My 30 Years of the trucking industry.

The operations boss, is very unknowledgable, in transportation, log books, legal transits, transit times, and general driver etiquette of anyone I have ever worked for. Still not sure how Chris got, or is holding this position.

But He is personally responsible for 95% of the internal turn over and atleast 80% of the driver turnover. The only thing big about this guy, is his ego. Way too much family here. 25% of the management are related !

Do not go to work for this company.

Gotta be a reason everyone else is offering $1000 sign on bonus, and they are offering $2500. And still have trucks sitting !

TN Owner Operator, why do u feel like you have to defend Teton? U really think they would defend you?

This company is full of cheifs. Not enough indians. Even the service guys think their in charge. Its so funny.

I just smile and let them think they really are so important.

Teton is like every other trucking company. If blame can be placed on the driver, in any way, it will be.

Teton is a piece of ****, they dont care whether you get home or not, i have heard a lot of bad things about them, especially their truck equipment, turn over rate it very high and now they are forced to use computers in their trucks because of all the violations the company has. Go with another company because they will put false allegations on your DAC.

Worked for Teton myself. Good company, but can be a little pushy at times.

Bruce is OK most of the times but he can get a little bossy at times.

Nobody can force to run over hours if you know how to handle them within the law... Gotta work on your communication.

i gues this means i wont be able to get another job easily, but dont give up

Worked for Teton myself. Good company, but can be a little pushy at times.

As for the guy complaining about having preventable accidents (plural!!!) put on his DAC Report...

Of course they should be on your DAC, how else will anybody know how bad of a driver you are??

Besides if you cause accidents who do you think should pay for them?? Teton???

I worked for teton for 9 months and everything was fine. Then when I needed to be home for surgery they couldn't get me home so I left the truck in the TN terminal and paid for a rental car.

Not cleared to work yet and the MO terminal manager called my cell, my home, and my parents trying to reach me to take a load.

Then he went to my home and pounded on the windows and doors hollering my name. I quit but he had put me under a load and now-- guess what?!--I can't get a trucking job anywhere.

i worked for teton for over 2 years. they fired me after i told them i need a break to sleep after running for 3 days straight.

i asked my dispatcher to pull the load i had on me off, he refused, and the load was late. they marked it in the computer as a service failure and fired me.., now im having a very hard time trying to find a job.

no im sure this driver is telling the truth. I worked there for a long time and the Owners Larry & Doug treat you like you are a piece of ***.

Drivers are a dime a dozen to them. There is nothing but favoritism thru out the whole company.

You want it good working at Teton?

You better have your nose up there ***. They treat all there non-kiss *** like ***.

Oh come on! Of course they used DAC when you started.

They and every other trucking company of any size uses DAC. Either you are lying or you are plain and simple ignorant. They are required to report the accident to any trucking company that you go to work for.

Look up FMCSR 319.23. By the way, why don't you share the details of your accident...

I too work for Teton Transportation,

Larry, Doug, Walter and all of operations are very fine and honest people. You cant help someone who can't help themselves.My experience with this crew is considered to be one of the best thus far. I did move on (My Choice) Ther are lots of haters out there!

Worked for Teton myself. Good company, but can be a little pushy at times.

You said it yourself, you worked for a leased Owner, not for Teton. The truck owner was suppose to pay you, not Teton.

I'm an owner myself and if any of my drivers produce any claims or damage to equipment I will not pay them until I recuperate my loses.

It is a shame that people always complain about employers and only tell part of the story... the part that suits them best...

Does sound familiar? Sweatshop is a working environment considered to be unacceptably difficult or dangerous — particularly by industrialized nations with high standards of living.

However sweatshops may exist in any country. Sweatshop workers often work long hours for unusually low pay, regardless of laws mandating overtime pay or a minimum wage. Employees may be subject to employer abuse without an easy way to protect themselves.

Since wages are unusually low, and working conditions poor, the incentive for owners to invest in modern, possibly economically nonviable technology is less. This is the trucking industry today.....

This company is comprised of a bunch of As*****s. They will lie, cheat and steal your last dime.

Don't go there. Stay away.

I personally have worked for Teton Transportation. In fact, I worked for them more than once and only left due to health issues.

The last time I left, I was very impressed with the kindness the company showed to me and my family.

I saw the owner struggle to keep his drivers employed during the economic crises, at a loss to himself. Larry Hammond and Walter Smith both care about the company, its drivers and the drivers families.

I think they are being given an unfair assessment by the complaintant, and I only hope the owner-op does the right thing as I am sure Teton would.

I worked for Teton for 5 months and didn't have much of a problem. Mechanics took care of all my truck defects.

Sure the dispatch "tried" to make me run over hours, but it is up to the driver to say no.

I quit because I am moving to Chicago and didn't expect to get my $175.00 deposit back, but I did the very next paycheck. So, I would have to say that Teton is not a bad company.

Worked for Teton,glad I got out,their full of lies,no hometime,no miles,no money,they could care less about you and your family,equipment is a disaster waiting to happen,This is not a good company to work for.

KILLED AN 18 YEAR OLD MAN RAMMED FROM BEHIND, DRVIER STILL IN JAIL, WAS DRUNK BLEW THREE TIMES LIMIT, NOW TETON GETTIGN SUED

My ex-husband works for Teton he too was run beyond hours. Had about 5 dispatchers.

He was never home part of the reason for the divorce they would promise to get him home and I was in the hospital and they would not get him home. The equipment is not kept maintained. Not to mention the pay is terrible per mile. No one in the company cares about the drivers its just to pad their pockets.

They have too many chiefs in the office. If you have a complaint it takes weeks to get it addressed.They are a big enough company that they could get the drivers better rates on insurance for their families. When he went to work for this company we hoped for better than the typical trucking company but its just like all the others. Only for Themselves.

Typical Trucking Company. :upset
