Sharkey Transportation Response
5moThank 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.
