AWH Logistics

My work starts at approximately at 11 pm and runs typically until 7:30 am-8:30 am on a good day when there is no delays with trucks coming delivering to the warehouse which happens for whatever the reason that's just part of it. The company takes their drivers responsibility for safe delivery and return of drivers and product very serious as it should be. Management stays active in the drivers work time with updates and special runs. Unfortunately there is a turnover in personal on a regular basis, but that seems to be everywhere, a good work ethic is tough to come by these days. The hardest part of the job is getting everything on the same page. Scanners/paperwork, all working without problems for a lengthy period on time. The most enjoyable part of the job is the business that i do see and have good relations with. It shows when you are doing your job when they compliment you and don't want to see any replacements.

This is a decent place to work if you are looking for something immediate. As a contractor driver, hired as a bench driver, you never know what route you will run. The routes are not evenly distributed and management is poor at communication. My route is no less than 10.5 hours daily and sometimes longer. You are treated as an employee instead of a contractor.  Just know your rights as a contractor,  because AWH will definitely try to "press the envelope". 
Some of the volume on the routes is outrageously ridiculous! Management won't go on routes to address safety concerns and nowhere is pay published so you know what a route pays. We do not get settlements and there is no Detention pay. You will be required to pick up returns with no additional compensation.  The bottom line is, be prepared for long nights and great apathy from management if what you are expected to do makes no sense.

The job is easy, if your familiar with logistics and experience in delivery Driver routes it's easy. However when it comes to dealing with management they absolutely suck ! Rude, not at all professional and I'm still in disbelief of how unprofessional the 
upper management is. I'll say this job is easy going, free to run your route as you can find your pace & rock out. But omg as soon as anything happens your screwed ! They not only let you go without warning but they will also not hesitate to throw your name on the "NOT eligible for rehire list without warning ". This type of action could really affect your life and  Your livelihood when you are a route driver & 1099 employee.  I suggest you take that into SERIOUS consideration when even applying. 

Management
Management is the worst part. I've worked there for 2 years making money and then out of nowhere had to take a pay cut. No warning no nothing. The manager acts like he does everything to help you but he really don't full of lies. The CEO is a bum

Culture
Freight is never on time. They want you to show up at a certain time but all you do is wait around till the freight gets there. No one is held accountable. A lot of racism going on there.

Overall
If you want quick money then you will work here. You are a 1099 but they treat you like you are a W-2 employee. No paid time off no benefits. No Health Care. They give you a flat rate of my me every Friday and think that they do everything they can for you. The CEO is a bum and managers are a joke. Don't waste your time on this company there is no growth no future. Just a waste of time. There's better driving options out there trust me

For my route I come in at 2am and don't leave until 3:30-4:00a.m. because of waiting for parts to come. Then it usually takes around 8hours to complete my route. It's a great place to work if you like to just come in and do your thing and not be bothered by anyone. If you do need help I have found management to be willing to go above and beyond and are super pleasant. The hardest part about the job is the length of my route and the time it leaves. The best part about working for AWH is the sense of being part of a team and a family where everyone is always ready to lend a hand or offer some advice if needed, and for me I just love being out on the road and not stuck in some warehouse with some boss breathing down my neck. If you enjoy driving and working alone then this is a great job.

I have been in the transportation industry for close to 30 years, so with that being said i have pretty much seen it all. With transportation things change all the time, it's not a perfect world.  But at AWH Logistics they really try to make things run smooth as they can in this business. If things are not working, they always come up with a plan to better their operations for the customer and worker. You really are a person here, just not a number. Remember its transportation, but if you want job security, good pay and an owner who will listen to suggestions, then AWH it is. 

I have been at Awh logistics for about 1 year and 5 months now the people I work with are great this is definitely a great company to work for no complaints currently I am a regional worker have been the whole time I been here am actually getting ready to go to school to get my Class A so hopefully there is even more opportunity there for me as well I would eventually like to move up into management in time because I would be a great fit for it I believe but good things take time so we will see how the future goes and what it might have in store for me here at Awh logistics of you are looking for a caring and awesome work environment definitely apply here we are definitely one big family here!!

The management is horrible I give them 0 stars. this company is the same as black diamond llc same horrible management. The reason is that they display countless acts of racism, They will single you out not pay you what your owned and they Do not follow by the contract. Either you bend to their will or they will fire you. I was unlawfully terminated, they have breached in multiple contracts and discriminated against and forced to help others sort freight that comes into the doc when that is not im my contract. So long story short not a great company as far as management goes but working with others and the supporting staff are the greatest people to work with. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Other good drivers and people that would help you when needed the help 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Day time driving in traffic I would say 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very nice and good people very good conversation. Very good atmosphere.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in get what I need talk to the other drivers see if they got event thing they need for the day help them as much as I could to get there day started

  For starters, they will bring you on as a 1099, (self employed). They force Company mandates upon you as if you are a w2 employee. This is not legal. They mandate w2 company training, onboarding videos, set the schedule, set the pay rate, pay (weekly settlements) payroll. No deductions for tax exemptions, even though your contract states that the truck is (sub-leased to you, the contractor, a 1k per week deduction for fuel is stated in the contract as well, neither are reflected on your weekly settlements, again, not legal.  This company is not a good place to work.
