I HIGHLY recommend never considering work for this company. They will treat you with NO respect. Race is definitely issue, they will PROMISE you a raise for year and never get it. Oh vacation time will never be approved because they don’t give care about there employees. Benefits will never be mailed you, but will gladly take our your check. 

They are great at over working you making put you in charge half million dollar machine “guaranteed raise” and job title will still be what hired for and completely lie about putting your raise into head management. But you will still be forced to do new job which is running entire outside of plant saving thousands thousands and while cutting
Hours and making most people stop working over time 6 days week. I’m  you will be FORCED work at same pay hired and because job crucial they will threaten fire you if you tell them you don’t want be in charge anymore because not getting paid what promises and you’ll start not give *** and miss day or two and they will try say why you didn’t get raise AFTER you proved yourself for 6 months straight waiting on this “raise”. 

Oh don’t forget while you want just one weekend or even every other weekend off while other people with tile job title make more get take Saturday and vacation time you forced work overtime because your smart. 

This company is a jok* hope at least 1 person reads this and considers working for another company that actually values HARD working employees and respects there employees! 

48 solutions lost a really great employee that willing do what no other employees REFUSED  do and you do above (clearly why put in position) also be on call and answer to help anyone any questions about machine because I was only one actually knew how FULLY function without breaking
It!

My typical day was driving the only truck that is being shared with another a night driver so finishing early was top priority, to new places I've never been before figuring out if I am doing things right or wrong with no guide and would be called out if I did something wrong. I learned right away management doesn't really care but overall it was still an easy job to perform. The biggest issues I faced would be sharing the same truck with the night driver due to of this job is not viable for slip seating resulting unintended misunderstandings, miscommunication and struggles, it got bad to a point that one morning suddenly my boss came up to me and out of nowhere and instead of fixing issues in a civilized manner, he starting using bad words and the first thing he said was challenging me and looking down upon me. I believe he wanted to make me quit.
Of course I answered as much as politely as I could  but of course he was still being very mean looking down upon me. I have never seen such a disrespectful, angry, unprofessional and disgusting behavior from a boss ever... anyways, all in all I did enjoyed my actual job here work is easy once you get to know what you're doing, the money is decent good for what you do and easily get OT, I wish I could've stayed much longer if I had my own truck like every driver does and would make my job much more enjoyable but management is just no good and they will take advantage of you plain and simple.
In conclusion, the only thing I would recommend is:
DO NOT SLIP SEAT! EVER!!
Having your only own truck for yourself is the only reliable option

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some say that a company is a great place to work when it supports its employees, challenges them to grow, and helps them meet their needs. When employees feel supported, they are often more productive, satisfied, and willing to stay with the company long term. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Excessive workload. According to CIPD, The Chartered Institute of Personnel Development, excessive workload is the most common cause of work-related stress

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Company culture is the shared values, attitudes, and behaviors that make up a work environment. It's the sum of what people in an organization think, say, and do, and it reflects both written and unwritten rules. A positive company culture can help attract and retain employees. Some say that an ideal company culture is a blend of shared values, open communication, and a commitment to personal and professional growth.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Interviewers may ask about your typical day to determine if you could start a role immediately. When answering this question, you can highlight tasks that prepare you for the role, similar responsibilities in your current role, or tasks that relate to the job description. You can also show how your experience aligns with the open position's responsibilities. 

Overall 48forty Boise was a great place. Typical day starts at 0500, trailers/flatbeds will already be loaded or finishing up. Grab your paperwork from the office and start your pretrip, hook to you trailer and hit the head and a cup of coffee. Check in with management/pallet fabrication manager and head out. Sometimes work late to 1900. I learned about flatbed loads, strapping ect. Management was awesome and good people eventhough they were new and in the process of correcting logistical and equipment sabotage from prior management. They was flexible and thoughtful but know you gotta run. It seemed difficult for them to keep pallet scrappers/builder's which affected supply sometimes. They were all go and I gotta say they weere some of the hardest workers Ive known outside of military work. Hardest part of the jod was bad equipment, hooking up to loaded trailers with bad running lights, tire tread issues and broke landinggear. Especially when you tagged equipment outta service to find it loaded and not repaired (had to refuse the load) Most enjoyable was running local drop and hook.

Has its upsides and downsides. On the positive side, the company offers decent compensation, which is definitely a major attraction for many employees. The generous pay scale is undoubtedly a strong motivator for individuals seeking financial stability and security. However, it is important to note that there are certain aspects of the job that might leave you wanting more.

One significant drawback is the lack of growth opportunities. Unfortunately, they do not prioritize employee development or offer clear pathways for advancement. While the financial benefits are attractive, it is disheartening to realize that there are no opportunities to gain new skills or expand one's professional horizons. The absence of promotions or the chance to acquire beneficial skills can make the job feel stagnant and unfulfilling in the long run.

In conclusion, if you prioritize financial stability above all else and are content with a relatively static role, then 48Forty may be a suitable choice. However, if you are seeking career advancement, skill development, and the opportunity to grow professionally, you may need to explore other options that offer more comprehensive opportunities for personal and career growth.

Most managers are people who is been with the company for many years and do not have experience in coaching a team, which makes a team anything but collaborative, lack of resources as cell phones, company expects you to use your personal cell phone to contact carriers and vendors but do not provide one or even pay an incentive,  installations are the worse, no parking space, road is not paved, because the amount of nails and boards store on the side of the building you can expect to get a flat tire at least once a week, No lunch room or break area, there is a kitchen but microwaves and fridge are disgusting, no one ever cleans them, over all is bad place to work, if you have no aspirations of a career, then it will be ok, no future, there are several people who have been for years and years with the company but they recently hired 5 managers, meaning, they will not promote from within, there is no future there.

Let's clear the air on something first....every single bit of legacy management at 48Forty is former IFCO employee's. If you know anything about the industry then that statement right there should tell you how horribly the company is run.  The decisions made, at higher levels, and the inability to adapt to changing markets made this, by far, one of the worst job's I ever had. 

That said, the hourly employee's were the only enjoyable part of the role. Working with them to be successful, for the short time we were, made the day a little brighter. 

Outside of that, there was zero work life balance, there was zero respect for you as an employee, and there was/is zero hand's on training. You'll be told one thing to your face while senior leadership gossip's behind your back and creates a high school mentality in the office. If you want to work in this industry you're better off going to one of the competitor's as they are better at the business.

The m supervisors.are very unprofessional.they hold it against you if you take excused days of work even if its family death or sick leave.they dont explain to you how many days you get for paid time off or how you earn sick leave pay or how much you get paid.they have a very high turnover rate.workers new employees tend to last 1 week.so.about 8 to 10.new hire quite.theres no room for growth in the company.what position you start in is the position you retire in.we only have job safety meetings 1 time a month.the job doesnt provide all the proper ppe.steel shoe inserts and leather aprons and dust masks.only good thing about the job is repairing pallets you can make up to 40 dollars per hour if your dedicated to learning and repairing up to 700 pallets per day.they pay 35 cent per pallet.so pay raise was 3 pennies.

* Plant & Safety and Maintenance Supervisor at the Biglerville Pa, Plant required a lot of hours/work. It could be rewarding as well as have its down sides.

* I learned a lot about managing budget & purchasing sites needs in addition to my everyday duties.

*Very Good workplace culture

* I really enjoyed my time there & loved my job until the never ending COVID-19 issues caused me to work never ending 20+ hr. days with very little to no support from upper management. & it burnt me out & caused some health issues.

* Another difficult side was managing the little Family time I got working so many hours at the facility.

* I absolutely enjoyed getting up in the morning to go to work with a Great Team of Employees and Mgt.

Working remotely you spend the majority of your day on the phone, assisting managers with HR Related questions, problem solving employee issues, and coaching and counseling.  Some weeks conference calls are non stop, especially when dealing with special projects.  Visiting our manufacturing sites was also part of my job which allowed me to visit managers in person and spend more one on one time with them.  Getting to know each manager and building a partnership has been extremely helpful.  It's all about building trust and learning how to communicate effectively with each other.
