Associated Couriers LLC

Going on my 10th year. Work ethic, dedication and "can do" attitudes do not go unnoticed.
I started out as a part time driver, knew nothing about this industry and am now middle management. So to say ACI promotes from within, would be an understatement. Many of our mgmt positions are held by people who started out as drivers.Opportunity is here.
 My managers have always been my biggest supporters in every position I have held through the years. There is a family mentality that I have never experienced with any other company. 
Yes, we are expected to do our job. Yes, some days are longer than we would hope, due to the nature of our unique service. But this is when our amazing team pulls together to get the job done, mgmt included. It is made clear, no position is more important than the other. Every team member has a hand in making the operation successful.
The ACI vision is clear and committed to excellence.
 I am proud to be a part of this amazing family. I am especially excited to be a part of ACI's bright future.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working for this company happened before the current owners took over.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting paid correctly and on time

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work as independent contractor but work like an hourly employee. So basically drive when the company says so and don't turn nothing down as you should have the right to do as an independent contractor.  So basically be ready to go at all times without the proper compensation.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hope that you can leave at 12 (noon) to complete the 12 hour drive. But not leave till 10pm to do so, also no one within the company knows when you can actually leave or why the freight is late.  Plus they have no desire to fix why things are late unless it's your fault.

I was interviewed ,hired by regional managers.I was told to be at warehouse no later than 6:30am. The warehouse supervisor, She changes things without the upper management knowing. I did my route everyday with no problems. I was good enough to do all 18 stops with no gps. She tried to cut corners by not hiring warehouse staff and she had drivers do warehouse work. When the warehouse supervisor got mad because the regional supervisor said I was to come in at the time I was assigned to which was 6:30. The warehouse manager said she  let me go because I was doing what the regional supervisor said do. And what’s worse is the regional supervisor let the warehouse supervisor terminate me for doing what the regional supervisor said.

This has been the perfect part-time job for me. I get my delivery schedule at 11:30am and can make the deliveries anytime between 12-4pm. I have enjoyed interacting with the pharmacy staff where I pick up scripts, as well as the delivery interactions to patients at their homes. The software application is all done via my smartphone and couldn't be easier to use. The communication with ACI managers is always super responsive, friendly and professional. They really care about how service is delivered and give positive feedback on a regular basis. This is a great gig for someone who enjoys working independently but still wants interaction with the public.

At ACI when you join the team you instantly become not just an employee but a member of their family. The people you work with care about you and want you to succeed, not just at work but in your life too.  Within the teams you have great collaborative opportunities to figure out solutions to problems that are occurring. There is a great balance of freedom to expectations. They have high expectations but also allows  the freedom to decide how best to handle a situation. 
Right now the culture is very exciting. The growth of the company is booming and with each new face another amazing facet to the family is added and the company becomes even better.

I have learned to scan and inventory sacks. Learned what to do when you have an extra sack or missing sack. The storage unit is our office  and we do not spend a lot of time there.  Their is no heater, fan, or window, so I try to not to spend a lot of time in their.
The hardest part is when I separate the sacks out of the gaylords and then have to put them into the vans.  I can have 15 to 105 sacks per day and each sack may weight in between 10lbs up to 75 lbs.
I enjoy visiting each post office and do a quick short "hello"
and  "how you doing" .

What is the best part of working at the company?
RUN as Fast & Far as you can to get away from this poorly run, horribly  misogynistic company. I’m amazed places this bad still exist and are allowed to legally treat people/women the way that do. But guess that’s what you get when your management teams are lead by dumb & dumber! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working for men who hate women 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unfair Horrible work environment, treatment is beyond poor unless you’re a Man/ White man


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dreadful can’t wait to get out

After a short time as a part-time contractor in the Philadelphia/Jersey corridor, I have been given full autonomy to work around my schedule with other jobs as long as I remain committed to the team when needed. The flexibility and genuine care about their folks is what sets them apart and I wish I could work for them full-time. This is a great company compared to most of the other couriers out there.  All I would ever want is to be treated fairly and have honest relationships. From the top of national management on down, these guys get it.

During my time with Associated Couriers, management has given me a lot of autonomy to make decisions that will impact the business. I like the fact that I am not micromanaged and it is easy to make relationships with managers in upper management. This company is growing significantly which gives us opportunity to think out side the box and to make decisions that will push the business forward. If you are a hard worker, you like to try different things to impact the business by thinking outside the box, and are willing to put in the effort to help this place flourish, this is the place for you.

I unload a truck with other employees every 2 hours. Sometimes, the hardest part of the job is the time of arrival that a truck will arrive. Right when you're in the middle of unloading and sorting, a 2nd or 3rd truck will arrive. The most enjoyable thing about this job is the work itself, long as you have a good team of hard working employees. I appreciate the hard work it took to get me back working here again! I'm just hoping that I'll get hired in permanently from the job, and not released by the staffing agency I'm working for.
