Absolute embarrassment of a company. I was recommended this company to try as an owner operator by a friend, and while it worked for him, it did not work for me. As another review on here already stated, it is a bait and switch, except the recruiter did not mention anything about needing hazmat to haul their embarrassment of a dedicated lane for Brentag. So I was hired on expecting to do that run I was told about but then I couldn't do that run because I didn't have my hazmat. So then I had to take more time off to go get my hazmat just to make a mediocre salary. Dispatchers and the recruiter will lie through their teeth and sell their own mother down the river for a buck. My friend that recommended the company to me actually witnessed the recruiter lying to him after I left the company. Their trailers are old and in desperate need of retirement. Every one of their company trucks are Penske rentals and are minimally maintained. I even had to waste my own supplies and time on detailing the truck I rented from them the short time I was there. Their "terminal" is shared with a chemical company warehouse, there's no place to park your truck unless it's a company truck, the inside of the terminal is old, smelly, dingy and nasty smelling, like something from the 70's in desperate need of an update. Their orientation is an absolute joke. The safety department is mismanaged and they'll call and scold you for going over their set speed limit of 68 mph. Also their cameras are always watching and they will scold you if you make any kind of mistake, even if nothing bad happened. No care is taken to make sure the driver is happy and the owner is so desperate for drivers, he would release weekly videos encouraging company drivers to go strike up conversations with other drivers at truck stops, lying to them about how "great" it is to work at Styer, meanwhile you get a bonus if you actually recruit a sucker. I had a problem with trying to get my paperwork in to make sure I got paid the next week on time, and when I mentioned to the payroll lady about how I needed to try to make as much money as possible as the lanes I was put on weren't paying as much as I was told they would, I was responded with "well you knew what you were signing up for". By all means everyone, avoid this place like the plague!!!!
