What they promise during onboarding\u2014like good miles, preferred lanes, and specific running hours\u2014rarely matches reality.

Most weeks, drivers struggle to reach 2,500 miles, often falling well short of that number. Low miles mean low pay, and the company makes no effort to address the root cause\u2014poor planning and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetruckersreport.com\/dispatchers\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" class=\"KWMLlink KWMListener\" data-kwm=\"20\" rel=\"noopener\">dispatching<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"><b><b>Moving the Goalposts<br \/><\/b><\/b><\/span><br \/>Cheema has a bad habit of constantly shifting the terms of your employment. Agreed-upon days off, preferred lanes, and running hours are subject to change regardless of whether it works or not for the driver.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"><b><b>Toxic Management<br \/><\/b><\/b><\/span><br \/>The management culture at Cheema is toxic and dismissive. Many managers refuse to return calls or emails when drivers need support. Instead of addressing legitimate concerns, they deflect and pin the blame on the drivers. This lack of accountability creates a hostile and unsupportive work environment.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"><b><b>Blame-Shifting<br \/><\/b><\/b><\/span><br \/>Whenever issues arise\u2014whether it\u2019s low miles, scheduling conflicts, or breakdowns\u2014Cheema consistently blames the drivers. Planners, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetruckersreport.com\/dispatchers\/\" target=\"_top\" title=\"\" class=\"KWMLlink KWMListener\" data-kwm=\"19\" rel=\"noopener\">dispatchers<\/a>, and management are never held accountable for their mistakes, leaving drivers to take the fall for problems they didn\u2019t create.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"><b><b>Unrealistic Expectations<br \/><\/b><\/b><\/span><br \/>The company expects drivers to stay out for their entire 70-hour shift, even when they provide less than 2,500 miles a week. You\u2019re left wasting time sitting around with no loads, but they still expect total availability. It\u2019s a huge waste of time and incredibly frustrating when you\u2019re away from home for minimal pay.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"><b><b>Conclusion<br \/><\/b><\/b><\/span><br \/>Cheema Freightlines LLC talks a good game but fails to deliver. Between the dishonesty, low miles, poor management, and constant blame-shifting, this company makes it hard for drivers to succeed.
