    Tantera is the reason Homeless individuals remain Homeless.
    Tantara is the reason Individuals on Disability cannot raise themselves up.
    Tanterra reaches for hooks in the Sky to Beat YOU up.
    Tanterra is the reason I remain disillusioned on the Trucking Industry.
    This is just to Big a Deal to pass up.
    No, I'm not kidding.
    You were aware of all My Situations, WELL before I came to Muscatine Iowa.
    You knew I hadn't driven a Stick in 9 Months, You knew I hadn't had a Trucking Job since June of 2018.
    I absolutely made sure that information was known.
    I didn't want to drive 250 miles to Muscatine from Omaha, plan to move there, and exist there, give up everything I had going on.
    Change My Life.
    Only to be sent away, thrown away, like a piece of Trash.
    I made everything to do with Me Verbatim Clear.
    I told Monica that I needed 10 or 15 minutes in the Truck, in the Yard, to get My timing down do to the fact that I hadn't driven a Stick in 9 or 10 months.
    I was under the impression I would get it.
    I told Monica that 9 Months ago I had Graduated from Iowa Central Community College in Transportation Technology.
    I told Monica that Prior to that I had not Worked in the Trucking Industry for a little over 3 Years, at which time I worked for Swift.
    And,,,,, prior to that I had Graduated from Iowa Central.
    I have a C.D.L.A, I have 2 endorsements, I have over 200.000 miles ( at some point, and I told You when that point was), I have gone through Blizzards in Utah, Whiteouts in Montana.
    Ice Storms in Missouri.
    With Trucks wrecking all around Me.
    Sat out a Hurricane in Georgia.
    Done Passes that few attempt.
    All in a Ten Speed.
    Oh Yeah,,,, 10 or 12% grades in upstate New York.
    And You talking Smack about Me Lying to You.
    Remember God is Watching.

    This company needs to be humbled. Just read the reviews. More importantly the responses to those reviews. VERY ARROGANT
    A great brand image is so hard to build yet they disregard the customer time and time again.

    No reply required the customer service speaks for itself.

    Great company to drive for!

  • on 07.05.2022

    Good place to work

    Outside truck service by rear-end. Just so happens that it's special appreciation day for the repair shop but not until after I take the time to get here. Been waiting for and hour and a half for anyone to show back up here to work. I wouldn't expect anything else from a rinky dinky trucking company.
    As for the response given, when you call hours ahead before you even arrive and nobody is available and you sit patently for an additional hour and a half one loses one's patience. Sorry but I cut right to the chase. Someone should always be on site regardless what others are doing. As for the lack of communication between you and you're shop management one who holds the position should always answer calls from their employer. There's no excuse not to pick up a phone or reply to a text message pertaining to such aspects of the position they hold. Patience basically has nothing to do with it. It's called responsibility for the business of doing business. There used to be a time when that actually mattered in this country but now days it's a seldom act. If it was your own truck and drivers I'm quite sure you wouldn't try to find fault in any other than the ones who's actually responsible.

    I had a issue with my lights and they put Rob on it he figured out the problem replaced the parts was very professional and reasonable

  • on 01.03.2022

    Great place to drive for!

  • on 28.02.2022

    Yes they have, and they have been growing the company and built the new office and driver's lounge with showers,washer and dryer and a new fleet of trucks and I see so much more to come. I remember when Mike R. Announced that JEFF R. DAVID R.AND MATT H. Were going to be investing in the company to buy it and I can say they have been doing good things because nothing was given too them and they have worked hard to bring the company to where it is now. Give them a call if you're interested in driving for them and if you're in the hiring area.

  • on 25.02.2022

    I'm not an employee yet but got to sit down and talk to one of the owners Mr Dave and explained to him what I was going through in my current situation he was more than happy and took the time to listen to me and gave me a honest up front opinion Tan Tara I'll be seeing you soon my mind is made up and thx for taking the time to listen to me

  • on 06.02.2022

    Feels like BIG corporation hiding behind another family built business...

  • on 01.02.2022

    Gotta love an inconsiderate driver can't pull forward at the pump obviously hourly...

    1 bad apple can spoil the whole bunch! These contract companies dgaf what their drivers do and their customers get the same bad reviews because THEIR LOGO IS ON THE TRAILER COMPREHENDE!?

    I think the only reason you called me Mike and this was out of the blue was because I was on a lay off. You want professional drivers like myself.

    My husband drives for Tan Tara. The experience has been great so far. They have been true to their word (which doesn't happen often in trucking). The owner of the company even called and checked in on my husband when he hurt his hand.

  • on 11.10.2021

    Great partner to work with!! We have enjoyed a professional relationship with TanTara for almost 2 decades.

  • on 17.09.2021

    Tantara is by far the best trucking company to work for hands down from the equipment to the people to the pay I wouldn't want to drive for anyone else

  • on 16.09.2021

    I’m a 100% family man, most important part of my day is coming home to my family at the end of a day, I’m not the over the road driver but I do run a dedicated route and honestly I couldn’t be happier the pay is competitive the hours work for my family and I and everyone in the office are business ready but with a family setting. They believe in free American values and the American dream. Tantara American first

    I've never seen better drivers than the st.louis drivers!!

  • on 26.04.2021

    Great family owed company great pay and great home time and they always treat the driver first class. Their equipment is the best in the business trucks run 70mph no automatics if want to be treated like a real truck driver and not just a number TanTara is the right place for you

  • on 06.04.2021

    I’m a driver and I had one of TanTara’s drivers cut me and a bunch of other drivers off in a construction zone near Sherman Tx on April 5, 2021. They need to teach their drivers common sense and curtesy. Schools don’t teach that, matter of fact two week courses don’t teach much. If these are “experienced” drivers maybe the company needs to screen better.

    Tantara Transportation could get 1 star or maybe 5 stars from here. What would Tantara like? I would like Tantara to not suppress me.

  • on 19.11.2020

    Don't waste your time! The other drivers do not lie

  • on 18.11.2020

    Left a customer high and dry because of political differences. Unacceptable!

  • on 13.11.2020

    As a mechanic... I have worked for a large carrier with several terminals and for a small company that didnt really care about their equipment... when I came to TanTara....I felt something different.....something good. They have great morals and stand behind our military, first responders, and just flat out whats right. That alone is something I support and means more than words could say to me. I can safely say I am at home with TanTara!!!

    I was traveling on I-35 with one of the Tantara trucks in front of me. The truck had no doors and a broken pallet flew out of the back at my vehicle. There were large pieces flying all over my windshield obstructing my vision. I didn't know at the time I had damage until I stopped. I was so shaken up I pulled off and looked my vehicle over and discovered a turn light busted. I made a police report and the officer said usually the companies are good at doing the right thing. Wrong. Unfortunately, I only have a picture of the side of vehicle and didn't get the license plate. I was so scared I got around the truck and didn't want to be on my phone so that's all I have. I called the company and talked to a nice gentlemen who put me through to his boss. He took my information down and asked me to email him the picture I had. I did. He said he would investigate it and call me. He never did. I was never once rude or demanding. He still will not answer my calls or email. This company should have done the right thing and they definitely did not.

    Feb 6, 2020
    In response to your comment about coughing up dollars. I never once asked for money. And as for the proof, I provided you with a picture of the semi-truck, it said Tantara right on it. I couldn't get a picture of the license plate because I didn't want to crash. I had pieces of wood from a pallet flying at my vehicle, so I had to get around the truck. At 70+ miles per hour on the interstate it was a scary experience. Also, I'm not going to falsify a police report and risk jail time for a busted turn signal. Keep your dollars and stay classy Tantara.

  • on 06.02.2020

    I have been with Tan Tara for 5 years this year, Love my job and the family I work for, very family oriented and take care of their employees

  • on 06.02.2020

    TanTara is a great company to work for. I have been here 16 years and knew in year one that this is the company I want to be apart of and retire from. TanTara is family oriented and cares for their employees. If you show dedication and hard work TanTara does not let it go unnoticed. Its like that saying “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” only with TanTara they will go above and beyond for their employees. We treat our drivers very well; with this company you are not just a unit number you are family. If you want to work for a caring and loyal employer, a place to call home, then TanTara is the place you wanna be.

    In 2013 when I moved back to nebraska NOONE and I mean NOONE would hire me around the omaha area. I ran across a help wanted ad they had in the nebraska city newspaper, filled out an online application, dave riggan called first thing the next morning and I was on a bus to muscatine ia. Worked there for close to 5 years and due to personal reasons thought the grass was greener on the other side and went elsewhere for 2 1/2 years. Turns out it wasnt and I came back here. In the time I was gone dave riggan would call every couple months wanting to see if I was ready to come back and to let me know I'd always have a place here if i wanted it. All it takes to be successful here is a good attitude and hard work, not to mention have some pride in what you do. If you're a slacker or complainer or just cant plain adult then this IS NOT the place for you. Thanks for everything Tantara, hands down some of the absolute best people I've ever known

  • on 28.01.2020

    I have been here 1.5 years. Everyone here at Tantara has been honest with me from day 1. I've been driving since 07 and been at 14 other companys. I'm former navy and right off they treat me with respect. None of the other companys did that. I'm going to say they are great company. They do treat everyone like family. I'm going to say to those that don't agree with me that IF you do your JOB then you would not have been FIRED..it don't matter what company you go to,if dont do Your job then its YOUR fault. Y ou can't cry moan complain and expect anyone to keep you around when you DISRESPECT those companies..I'll say grow up and stop acting like a 10 yr old.
    I absolutely love it here and I'm not going anywhere else..I found my home..all I do is DO my JOB as well as I can..truck 8030 Mark..

  • on 22.08.2019

    Horrible company to work for, not family oriented. If a wife calls and asks questions they get mad. They say you make this much money and pay you peanuts. Bait and switch all the way. Stay clear or at least read the fine print.

  • on 27.04.2019

    Stopped in, clean place. Clean trucks, and staff I talked to were on point
