1. The pay for what you are doing here, is not enough, you have to drive across the country delivering to 10-20 stops per trip across different states and at every stop you are getting out and manually unloading thousands of 20-50 pound flower boxes by hand or pallet.
and your pay will always be vastly different and they make mistakes on it because they calculate your pay by some pennys for every box unloaded and low cents per mile

2. They pride themselves on getting you back home, if you go out on a trip leaving from Miami and ending in New York, you will be back home before the end of the week. BUT lets say you get back on tuesday night at 11 pm. You most likely will be going back on the road the next day at noon, what kind of home time is that? what did you get to do or accomplish at home? I suppose if you have a wife and kids you could see them, but if thats the case, for the pay they give anyways, you might as well get a local trucking job

3. No route stability, the route stability is only for truckers that have been with them for 5+years. They may send you to Vermont today, Texas next week and then New York City the next. on top of this, they may call you and tell you to bring the load back and take a different load instead. or call you to tell you once you deliver your load grab a different load from somewhere and run that.

Ok guys..im going to spill the beans here.. The recruiter is going to say youll win 40 to 60 your first year witch is false. To make 40,000 a year youll need to make 3,000 a month at least, but they start you off at 16 cents per mile.. Realistically youll win 25 to 30 your first year..thats kid money..theyll put you on with "trainers" who have theyre own dedicated routes with alot of miles to run, so the first two months youll get paid good..but once you are a second seat, you will stay home for a week witch will hurt your pocket if are an adult with kids and responsibilities..now that youre second seat, youll get the worst trips with the worst miles at 16cents..trips with only 800miles...yes its a great starter company if i was 25 living with my parents. Only way youll make good money here is after 2 years working hard or get lucky and end up becoming a second seat for an old man with a great dedicated route...oh...and the trainers wont teach you anything.. they took the role because of the extra pay, they really dont give a.....and another thing...when its your turn to sleep after the 10 hours of drive time.. you dont sleep...you need to unload boxes for 8 hours of that time..youll sleep 2 hours if you lucky...and guess what!!! Your turn to drive...itll make the armellini experiance alot better lol

Team/Touch Freight is not how I wanted to drive trucks, however, I have had a mostly positive experience, this being my first trucking job (3 years in now). Dispatch and management are cool. They've never given me attitude, and they've always treated me like a person, and not a number. I lucked out with a great partner, but they will shift you around if it's not working. Just keep in mind, you WILL go to some janky stores with tight docks (or no dock at all), and sleep is not great in a moving semi. Sometimes the pallets are stacked atrociously. However, I have reliable pay, bonuses, and consistent home time on my California bid. Just work hard and don't complain about things you can't control. Avoid accidents and tickets. Pass your inspections. Stay on managements good side and don't whine or cause issues for them. I'm not saying they will "retaliate" otherwise, I'm just saying if you do your job, and be friendly and professional, then you will be just fine - they will recognize your commitment and track record when/if you need something, or make a mistake. If you don't mind the physical work and the occasional inconvenient dock, you CAN make good money here over time. 

Pay is not even close to what was agreed to definitely not as advertised. Home time is "on call" not free time until you get an established route "bids". Established runs are subject to change every 3-4 months. So back to "on call" while that goes on. So yes your home but no you can not make plans as you must call in daily between 11 and 1pm to see if and when to leave for that day. They will not look out for you financially until after 1 year. Health insurance is more expensive than most places almost twice as much. Extremely physical touch freight in some runs (2-4) hours unloading with no hourly rate and has to be done with 2 people, so an off duty driver will have to help. Pay is all over the map and not steady for the 1st year. Good running and well maintained equipment. It's said a company can have great equipment and low driver pay or high driver pay and poor equipment. Hope this was helpful.

Fresh out of CDL school and need a job close to palm city?
This will work.... don’t believe the home time line they pitch cause it’s not true, like pretty much everything they say.
We’ll summarize it like this
Drivers are cool but most don’t respect the folks upstairs due to how we’re treated.
Don’t believe anything they tell you, just get the job for experience.
The tractors are horribly maintained and if your new your stuck in them so don’t let them tell you otherwise.

Sign your life away for one or two years tops and put up with everyday life and get out fast... This place doesn’t respect its employees enough to stay any longer hence its turnover rate.

 They get solid employment for a year you get the experience to go somewhere where you can have hometime, not on call 24/7 and have a personal life. This is better than working for the top 5 mega carriers.


Everybody wins

If you enjoy periods of 24-32 hours with zero sleep than you have found the right place..the only way to make this job worth it is if you blow through the runs and get home as quickly as possible and that means both drivers need to be awake unloading boxes whether your on duty or not..you will sit at shippers for 6 hours and they will pay you about $30...your on call there is no set schedule you check in at 11am everyday your not on the road ..they will cancel your loads late in the evening after your entire day has been spent preparing to go to work that night..the only real positives is the equipment is well maintained and dispatch is very helpful outside of that this is only a job for drivers fresh out of school..stay a year and leave!!

Had my first day on the job as a warehouse worker. Was introduced to some employees and given a short simple explanation of what to do. Didn't have gloves until a hour and a half after starting, some things are heavy and will dig into your hand or fingers. It is non stop manual labor picking up items and walking them to the appropriate area. Was a bit hard to get around and the areas are not well marked. It was a bit hard to move around some areas do to the high traffic of several people walking back and worth nonstop. The people were very nice, however I wasn't comfortable working after starting to cramp  up from the repetitive carrying and lifting.

Management is terrible especially the head boss in the warehouse. She is down right rude and disrespectful. I've personally been attacked by her where she yells and talks down to you in front of everyone. I've heard her threaten people on a daily basis. I've complained about her several times and nothing happens so she gets away with it everytime. The pay is ridiculous for the job your doing. But most of the people they hire are ex cons so they get away with the low pay. Not worth the stressful work environment unless you absolutely need a job . I would not recommend this job to my worst enemy. Nothing but drama and people fighting . I worked there for a long time and I'm glad to say I'll never go back.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Stability. Decades old big company. Some employees have been there for 30 or 40 years. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Twice a year, it becomes hectic: Mother's Day and St. Valentine's Day (They transport flowers). Working in a cold warehouse can be a torture for some people.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good. Too many bullies as Supervisors. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Receiving pallets of flowers for hours in a cold warehouse. Later on,  loading trailers to be shipped.

Too many hours working and not enough people to take a break.
The pay was low.
They  offered me to be a full-time and after the rush, they let people go without notice.
Location is old and in poor conditions, especially the bathroom and kitchen. It needs a professional exterminator services.
