I noticed the few who have left bad reviews, seem to have left several bad reviews on multiple companies... seems like a trend. HOWEVER, my experience here with Christenson has been delightful. From my first call with Kimerly in recruiting until my goodbyes to Terri, my orientation instructor as I hit the road. These folks will and have gone above and beyond for me and will you as well. Had a few issues with my truck, but Blake and Barry in maintenance and safety have been ontop of it every step making sure I was ready to hit the road after orientation. My load planner/driver manager Bryan is very

Christensen does have a family environment I worked there over a year and enjoyed it.
I terminated my employment for personal reasons.
I do however miss my truck!
That was an awesome KW that I took care of meticulously!
They have the best equipment to work with!
They definitely had enough work to keep you busy and then some if you are a driver that loves to run that is the place to be!

My sister was in the hospital with covid 19 on ventelator I told them I needed to get to little rock asap. Three days later I was in Arkansas delivering my load 82 miles from little rock. And they decided to assign me another load from N.E Arkansas. Going up into Missouri. When I received the load on the computer. I called and reminded them of My sister's condition. But they said I needed to pick up this load. I headed towards the pick up. That didn't load until the next day after 1800. At 15:45 my brother contacted me with the news that my sister had passed away.
I decided then that it was over

Lease purchase beware! My husband was told repeatedly it's a walk away lease. Sure it is! For a $7500 fine plus tons of other charges. Then he was told by Lonnie Epps "I own you." Call me crazy, but I thought the days of wealthy white men "owning" people was over. That was after he said he'd just add on a few more weeks of payments to what my husband would owe them because he didn't like my husband standing up for himself. After running all week & making the company money his payroll sheets shows he owes them over $5,000. His net pay before all their penalties was over $4,000.
