Apache Logistics

Apache seems like a good place to work because they are willing to pay ok, but do you like being micro managed/undermined all the time? Do you like managers holding your job over your head all the time? Do you like working extremely hard and covering shifts all for them to not appreciate you?? Write ups for driving slip ups last TWO years each!! Even if you didnt get in an accident or get a ticket!! They have a safety manager who hasn't ever been behind the wheel of a truck writing you up for stuff he doesn't even understand. I've also watched them LAUGH at people for asking for a raise when they deserved it. NO 401k like they promised us at the begining, HORRIBLE health and dental insurance, good luck finding a provider that accepts it!! I got 3 pay cuts while working for apache as well. They are always looking for ways to pay you less. They will also fire people for no reason other than bias. They want you to fit their "look", this job is the LEAST diverse place i have ever worked. Honestly I'm mad i let the money cloud my head for so long i forgot what mattered at the workplace. Trust and respect are severely lacking from anyone higher than an accnt. manager. And even accnt. managers are just hired "yes" men. I would seriously advise anyone to STAY AWAY FROM APACHE LOGISTICS. Go somewhere that will respect and trust you. Believe me, if you drive truck, you DON'T need this place.

Things you need to know before working for this company they do not follow no safety rules or. Regulations so if you want to keep your license I suggest for you to find another job once you speak up about them breaking the rules they will fire you just like they did me I do not want to downplay the company they pay good money but if you get caught running over your hours it will not be worth it they told me that I was speeding if the speed limit is 65 miles an hour on the highway they want you to drive under the speed limit they told me you need to drive under the speed limit if you don't we will have to let you go so they let me go when I'm driving a big tractor on the highway under the speed limit that is more dangerous then driving over the speed limit but they can work you 17 hours over the DOT regulations but they do not complain about that awesome CDL family enjoy your job search and good luck

This was a case of less than ideal management ruining an otherwise good job. The days were very long but the pay was good  half of the time. The other half, it was just good enough to meet cost of living for our area. I enjoyed the unloaders at the customer locations and a couple of the loaders at the Shipper. I would characterize the workplace environment at the Shipper you will service each day as unhappy. I would characterize the workplace environment of Apache, the company that services the Shipper as sycophantic in its preferred structure. Because of these two environments, I could not find happiness in my work with them and so I left after several months of trying to be happy. 

Unlike other companies I've worked for, Apache prides itself on being there for its employees.  Drivers are not left out in the weeds days or weeks on end and driver managers are available 24/7 to help solve issues.  Nothing is put off or ignored here.  Vehicles are late model fully serviced leases with national support networks.  Drivers are not left out if there's a breakdown;instead, they are given a rental to get them back home.  Home time matters to Apache and management does everything possible to get drivers more than the standard 34 hours off.  Apache wants drivers and employees to enjoy time with their families which is unique in the trucking industry.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is great if you don’t mind working nights. Co-workers are a bunch of really good guys!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
For me it was the shift, I really don’t like 3rd shift 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Safety is priority one. They pay you to drive safely and not exceed the speed limit. Keeping your job depends solely on your safety score. Just take your time and enjoy the overtime!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You run the same delivery route everyday, some days you hit all of the stops others you only have 5 or 6 stops. Nothing too crazy. Some stops get a skid full of stuff others only a box or two

Management is in Holland mi so you have no on site manager. You can not take any days off because they don’t have any extra drivers or you will get fired. Manager for the site is a joke he thinks he knows everything. They think no emergencies can ever happen where you need time off. Also they will make you drive in all weather no exceptions or you will be fired. Oh and you will have to pull or push over 800 pounds at a time with a pallet jack. All they care about is the load that’s it. If I was you I would just keep looking it’s not worth it....

Apache sought me out from Zip Recruiter. I have flatbed experience and an excellent MVR. After almost three years I love this company. All my supervisors have been terrific. The pay is above average. All my needs are met. Personally, I work Tuesday through Friday, flatbed 48', steel and aluminum, same customers, same route twice a week, day cab, Conestoga, two nights in a hotel, paid by the company, benefits, vacation, holidays, home by noon on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off, and I have no complaints.

False pay information when hired. If you are looking for advancement or even a raise this is not a good choice. Management asks drivers for input on making routes better and they do absolutely nothing. Warehouse makes mistakes and it becomes the delivery drivers fault. Make more your first year because of bonus but after year one your pay drops $4,000 annually. Youll never will get a raise. If you are a worker with speed and efficiency in mind this company will punish you by paying you less money. This is not an hourly position, while driving, so this is clearly greed by the company.

Management knows nothing of the job. My first day I had to do a driving test with the safety manager, there was a violation on the back of the trailer that was easy to correct and he never seen it. Run a stop sign in a privet parking lot with no one, you get wrote up. They dont handle maintenance issues, told them several times my truck needed repairs and it never happened, me and the gentleman I shared with had to handle it ourselves.  They fired me why you might ask because another driver backed into my personal truck and did $2500 damage, nice.
