Smithway Motor Express (SMX)
 

FYI:
We leased on to SMX (as a team!!) and it was the WORST decision we could have made!! Within 6 weeks they broke us.
We are NOT rookies. In this business for 36+ years. But this was the worst company we've ever been involved with!
Their rates are horrible!! They think that .92/cpm (which includes FSC) is a good rate for an O/O. Their rates are geared toward bankruptcy!
Most of the loads we were offered (given) paid just over $1.00!!
They assure you of tarp pay and then you never see it (if you're flatbedding); they ask for favors and then you never get paid for it.
We did a job for them and were quoted a figure for payment. We quit 5-1/2 weeks ago and were told we would get the money by the end of the month. We still haven't received it.
Stay away from SMX if you're an O/O. Promises are only worth the paper they're written on. But SMX doesn't live up to them.
There are many other things we could say about SMX to try to convince drivers-O/O to stay away, but we'll just leave it at this:
Go elsewhere. Stay away from SMX
