Free insurance. That’s it. Nothing else good to say about them.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for taking the time to leave a review. We want to acknowledge the benefit you highlighted, as it’s one of the areas we are most intentional about. Sharkey Transportation provides 100% premium-free medical, dental, and life insurance for drivers and their families, with no weekly paycheck deductions. Because we are self-insured, there are no network restrictions—drivers and their families can seek care where they choose. This benefit represents a significant investment we make to support our drivers both on and off the road. We also want to provide context around retention. While turnover is a challenge across the trucking industry, Sharkey’s driver turnover is remarkably low compared to industry averages, with drivers consistently averaging more than six years of longevity. We recognize the concerns you raised, and feedback like this reinforces why retention, communication, and continued investment remain important areas of focus for us. One of the most common reasons drivers choose to stay with Sharkey is knowing what to expect—clear policies, consistent operations, strong benefits, and the people they work with every day. We don’t take that responsibility lightly and continue working to improve where we can. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you the best moving forward. — Sharkey Transportation Team

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. We work to provide clear, upfront communication around pay and equipment so drivers can make informed decisions, whether someone is newer to the industry or new to our team. Pay and equipment assignments vary based on experience, driving record, home time, location, performance, and equipment availability, and are reviewed throughout the hiring and orientation process. Our goal is to offer consistent miles, dependable home time, and a team that supports drivers on the road. We continue to make improvements across our fleet and operations and value feedback as part of that effort.
