ACE TRANSPORTATION

Ace management is good, super nice in person and on phone. Everyone’s experiences are different. The first almost 3 months working at ace was kinda great. Made great money, 1400 plus a week. But then i had to go home for a day. It seemed every time I had to go home I ran for free basically. They have a bad safety score so they can’t get a lot of loads from brokers. So you’ll basically never be pre booked. 
   Next the dispatchers, it depends how many trucks your dispatcher has and how much effort they put into making you money. 
    Their dispatchers run on a system where the dispatchers are all ranked on a board according to what they made for their trucks gross wise. So if you mess up their numbers and they don’t get their bonuses then you’ll start seeing bad frieght rates. Won’t make money. So if you do exactly what they say when you’ll get in their good graces and they will throw you a few good loads here and there.  If you pick up a nail or screw while driving they WILL make you pay for new tire.
    

My typical day at ACE Transportation would be spent doing payroll, processing a payments in QuickBooks, reconciling the companies bank accounts, and invoicing.  On a slow day, I would also work on collections and call those who had any past due invoices. 

I learned how to process a payroll and reconcile company accounts during my time at ACE Transportation.

Most of my co-workers were on the road a majority of the time, as this was a transportation company.  

The hardest part of my job was the lack of organization that was there prior to starting and trying to make my own process of doing things in order to make sense of things and reorganize.

The most enjoyable part was again, it being a small company and was very close to home for me.



Typical day at work was early morning setting up rig moves taking care of up coming mechanical problems and providing workers with schedule routes. What I learned was to multiple task as a dispatcher, mechanic helper, parts clerk, expeditor and ran payroll and all DOT
regulation on wide or heavy loads. Management was an excellent trainer and was the owner of the company and was a long time customer. My co workers consisted of floor mechanics and truck drivers. The hardest part of my job was multitasking but once it was done once it was repetative. The most enjoyable part of my job was taking care of the customer and charging the customer for our services.

Stay away from that company! They are liars! They will promise you a miles but they not going to give it to you ! They will cut you miles almost on every trip 5-10 miles! Be ready to make 5-6 k maximum and always stay in a truck ( always I mean 30 days in a month) no any benefits and you responsible for everything what can happen to a truck, be ready to pay a thousand from your pocket just read a contract carefully  and for that all do not see your family, you will waist a lot of time in a truck without driving, be ready drive almost all time on east coast and then when you will ask to get some load to your city to be at home with your family on weekends or holidays they not going to find something ! They don't care about drivers at all !! All they need it to stay you in a truck like a dog in a kennel

I would report to work very early in the morning by 5 a.m. and will be given our duties to report to a job location for several days, sometimes I would come home every day. I learned a lot of new things with ACE Transportation and the owner was a very good man. the workplace was very friendly and everyone would respect each other. There was nothing hard in my work environment at all. The enjoyable part of working at this job was the traveling to different towns.

Driving people from one place to another

drivers required to be on road 12+ hrs a day
training is poor; learn as you make mistakes
general manager has no management skills
independent on the road so do not meet co-workers
long hours can be difficult if weather conditions are bad
no family time
enjoy driving so outside on the road was great
met some wonderful customers and met some awful ones too

It's a real great place to work the owner and her husband are extremely nice and easy to get along with.Very well organized and great place to work. All the employees there that I worked with were very friendly and if I had a question about something or it I needed help with a task I had absolutely no problem getting the answer or help I needed.

If you get sick badly and inform them about your situation. They'll fire you without notice. I was still sick trying to work for them until my sickness got really bad but I let them know. They don't care about how sick you are or nothing. You can have walking pneumonia and they'll still try to call you in and work. I rather have my life than work for them ever again. Good luck people and God bless.
