Magnum LTL A wonderful; company staffed by nice people, but the promised payroll rates do not get paid. Coon Rapids Minnesota
The only negative item about Magnum LTL is that the recruiter informed me all drop and hooks were PAID at 10.00 a piece, adding fuel was paid at 10.00 and in almost 6 months I did over a hundred drop and hooks and never got paid for one. I started in March 2022, was running from Willmar MN to Sioux Falls, about 300 miles a night. I did have an accident was ruled not my fault. After another driver quit, I was running from Willmar to Coon Rapids once or twice a night, monday to friday. In July my run was switched to Willmar to Fargo ND. 360 miles a night. I really enjoyed the Fargo run. Drove a 2023 Volvo nice truck. Not seeing my payroll list so when I requested it it only showed 10.00 a night, except the inital hook, then drop and hook in Fargo along with fueling in the Fargo terminal and dropping back at Willmar again should have been $30.00 per night. After a email discussion with Mark Heining, the leader in Coon Rapids, he informed me I was mistaken and the drop and hook in Fargo was not to be paid along with the inital hook and drop back at Willmar.
They are advertisinf for a linehaul driver in Willmar with the pay $90,000.00 per year. I would have made about 35,000 if I had stayed the entire year. Every driving job is advertised as $90,000.00 per year.
Many people work for Magnum, the local drivers are paid by the hour, but the linehaul drivers have to wait 1 hour before the compensation begins. I really enjoyed working there, but I needed to be paid what was promised.

I may have been too negative on reporting this, but the facts remain. They still advertise on Drivemagnum.com for a linehaul driver in Willmar so I texted the terminal manager about it and was first informed ok, but after a few minutes he said I could not return, I'm guessing this was after talking to Mark Heining the regional manager in Coon Rapids MN. So my beef is with Mark. Anyway, I wrote a letter to the owner of the company Wayne in Fargo ND, explaining the events and how after Mark was doing my payroll he couldn't explain to me earlier why I was not getting paid for drop and hooks. I still have a positive opinion of Magnum, even though I am not working there.

Magnum recruiter misinformed me

When I applied to Magnum, the recruiter told me I got paid for drop and hooks. I was told after I questioned it, that the ltl side was mileage only. So they are not getting benefit of my labor. I took my paid time off and left. NOT a BAD company, but they are cheap on the linehaul driver's wages.
