Altom Transport, Inc.

Altom has been a great place for me to start my career. Coming into my first role, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I immediately felt welcomed & supported. My boss and the rest of the management team are always willing to help, answer questions, and offer guidance when needed. It makes a big difference working somewhere where you feel comfortable asking for help and learning as you go. There are a lot of opportunities to learn new things and grow.  I’ve also been able to meet and work with people who genuinely want to see me succeed, which has helped me build confidence and expand my professional network. The culture at Altom feels very employee-focused, and it’s clear that leadership truly cares about the people who work here. Overall, it’s a positive and supportive environment, and I’m thankful for the experience and growth I’ve had so far. I would definitely recommend Altom to anyone starting their career or looking for a workplace that values its employees.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Its a joke, cant get parts so builds arent put together properly. Then expect you to work overtime when there are no and  I mean no parts. But as long as the train is put together even with missing parts send  it out so that upper management gets paid. Employees are treated like trash.  I loved what I did for Alstom but was never recognized for my work. No employee is !!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The way you are treated. Knowing the train has missing parts when they send it out then when the coustomer sends it back the craft workers are blamed for insufficient work, even when upper management ("The big Boss ") had the train sent out . That is very stressful !!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Morale is very low. There is other cultures working for this company.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
When I have parts its a good day. Busy and not so stressful because my work is done properly and with all parts needed to complete my job

I just quit here after 3 months. I initially came here because I saw the ad that promised 175-300k a year. My take home average here was about $ 1,500 take home a week. Some weeks there was a good paying load, followed by no work at all the next week, and then a couple bad paying regional moves on the third week. Gotta admit that their yard is very clean and their equipment is top notch. I also understand that a few of their senior owner ops do make very good money consistently, but don't be mislead by that. The newbies get the short end of the stick. Most of the guys that came to the orientation with me are thinking about quitting. If you enroll with this company after what I've told you, you'll have no one to blame but yourself. Also keep in mind there is a $ 1,000 uninstallation fee for the camera and tablet if you're here less than a year.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great benefits and Equipment…. I worked here for approximately 25 yrs and always made a good living with them.  The work is there if your a worker. Retired from here at 64 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I never really thought of it as stressful it’s trucking it is what it is 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I always enjoyed working here for the most part. Like any job you will have a bad day

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10 to 12 hrs. Loading and unloading pending on the day

Smaller company 300-350 truck fleet, 70% O/O. Really good company for experienced drivers. They don’t babysit you. Owner operator averaging $4.22 loaded mile, $3.18 all miles. Averaging $6,200 a week. 70% of line haul. Great transparency, you see all actual line haul rates before load is accepted. Good fuel discount at the big three, 40-90c off a gallon. Easy to gross over 300k year without totally living in your truck. Lots of deadhead over the road though, but the line haul compensates. ELDs need the bugs worked out, have to log out every time you turn the engine off. Pretty happy though.

My day consists of answering emails, phone calls planning out schedules for customers and drivers.
I've learned a lot of patience
Management as a whole is fantastic to work with, but there's always ups and downs in every work environment
Hardest part of my job, lack of communication with certain people along with the fact of not able to force dispatch O/O
The new people i get to meet inside the company when new people come on board and the friends i make along the way with customer's and especially with some drivers and their families.


a typical day at work is exciting and educational!
I learned about my peers and their incredible skillsets
Management makes clear and concise instructional goals possible
workplace culture is the best I've experienced in my 40+ years of experience
the most difficult part of my job is educating drivers to be compliant 
The most enjoyable part of my job is coming to work daily!  It's been MANY years since  I held a job that was both rewarding and enjoyable.  The management team @ ALTOM is incredible

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great people and benefits. Working supervisors. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There are always variables and deadlines. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Supervisors listen and hard work is appreciated. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Emails start around 530 and I stay very busy throughout the day with tasks pertaining to multiple departments- which is bittersweet: never bored but teetering on stressful. Ha!

Contract agreements not usually as agreed upon after starting. Company states that they pay 72% of gross on contracts but does not state that 30% is taken off the top for the Management company and that you really receive 72% of 70% remaining on paying for rate. Rates change daily per the company but not per contracted customers and no fuel surcharge paid. They insist upon buying their own fuel since they are also a fuel distributer.

The company has a lot to work on from a toxic company culture to a lack of leadership and direction, no accountability, they pick and choose who stays and who goes. Their inside circle can do no harm, so they pawn it off and let the good guys go without proper steps of listening, understanding, training or remediation.
