Pros

- funded by Golden Gate Capital, deep pockets - cool office location near Union Station in Denver

Cons

- Leadership, especially at the very top, is obsessed with what they think is "hustle" but is actually just making hasty, shortsighted decisions and then getting everyone to spend excessive hours implementing them, only to find they were bad decisions that need complete rework. They don't have lives outside of work, and they expect the same from their employees. Don't have a life outside of work and you will do great here. - Try Googling "Gohawk Driver Reviews". That's the mobile app this company has produced since 2018 (sometimes under the name "Shaleapps", you have to wonder why they changed their name?). The reviews are horrendous. You can tell the real reviews vs. the fake ones that the company creates. It is the opinion of many reviewers that the technology doesn't work after years of trying. - The "Nutrition Facts" they use for recruiting are gibberish words that don't mean anything. It seems like they're just saying "make sure you're working all hours of the day and we want to see you at your desk to be sure because we don't trust you". They burn through employees at an alarming rate.

Pros

There are some nice people here but few and far between

Cons

The first thing that needs to be addressed is the illusion that the app is AI, it is actually ran by a group of people that are dubbed “Super Pilots” that work behind the scenes to route the drivers and loads. Management (nor truck drivers) care about your personal time so prepare for calls at all hours of the day and night. Mostly because of someone else’s lack of planning. And vacation!?! Good luck with that! The last straw for me was when they made a promise on a rate for Labor Day weekend and then fought the drivers on paying it. Don’t make promises that you can’t keep, especially when people’s paychecks are on the line. This company definitely confuses long hours with “success” and “work ethic”. They don’t know how to lead so they sow chaos and confusion and watch everyone scramble around to clean up their messes.
