This is a great company and like most companies always working to get better! But it takes hard work and sincere dedication to make it happen. For the most part you felt that feeling of the sky was the limit and we broke financial records reaching monumental growth is a very short period of time. We tripled our growth in the short period of time I was there and the job was pretty much 100% travel. We had a company plane for business and a little fun but we had a serious dedicated staff with a mildly competitive atmosphere and accountability in most departments. Typical work day was 12,14,16 hours minimum but you felt obligated to work so hard because the culture was great and the owners and staff you worked with were always so committed to making it happen.
 I was constantly on the road hiring drivers, interviewing in the 25 various locations or working to schedule job fairs, Walking down new job sites and looking for additional parking resources in some markets, hiring owner operators, contractors. At times reaching out to local repair facilities to set up tire and m&r accounts. I was also responsible for accident and claims management. Working to keep DART & TRIR numbers in check through training and conducting JSA's and route hazard analysis for the new terminal locations that were constantly opening.  We spent a significant amount of time training drivers simply due to the type of work we were doing. 
 If only I would have had some help and a little more on the compensation and I would have still be pushing the growth and I'm sure they are working to make it happen. Drivers could earn a good wage and be home each night but very dangerous work being in landfills and working around heavy equipment. The only Con was work/life balance and since your on the road all the time very limited time at home.

The company will outright lie about the hours you will work. So called “guaranteed minimum pay”. And your value to them. Add several hours a day to what they say you will work, if they say 10-12 expect at least 12 but probably 14+. If they promise a minimum of $1200 per week know that if you can’t reach the minimum amount of loads even at the customers fault or lack of freight you won’t see a minimum pay. You only make the minimum if you run every load. Expect to hear things at meetings such as “we don’t need you, every one of you can be replaced tomorrow.” Also expect to see people fired over anything once they feel you are not in their click anymore. Management likes to use a tough guy attitude and intimidation to get what they want, surprisingly that works on many people. If you want to work insanely long hours, in smelly unsanitary conditions, for average truck driver pay, but hey you can fall into your own bed every night just long enough to get a little rest, if the manager doesn’t call you at home to scream obscenities at you even if you didn’t screw up. Then this is the job for you. Oh and don’t forget that “occasionally work Saturday” actually means every other Saturday is mandatory and half the time you are expected to work every weekend. The health insurance is also astronomical and you have to be persistent to get signed up for it in the first place.

corporate office great people willing to help terminal manager 
regional manager has preconceived opinions that have no fact behind them perfect example he had a person promoted than was very disappointed in his ability demoted  him then person quite regional manager hired him back even tho he did not have the qualifications for the job was not DOT certified to be a mechanic as well as several people verified he was doing anything he could do to see company and people he did not like would fail 
regional manager confirmed this was true and still thought he was an asset and was just disappointed in this person instead of firing   him on spot 
also regional manager said company was not a for hire company so we were exempt from certain qualification for mechanics to be certified for annual inspection and brake work  which was his way to justified bring the person back to work 
i could not work in an atmosphere were company deliberately falsify or would be none complaint to DOT regulation 
the best thing would be to get rid of the regional manager  
i will also say this i did not all ways do everything perfect but i would get things done in a cost effective complaint way and in a safe and time effective way i left them August 2019

This company will today out like to you too get you to work for them, they make hollow promises, they tell you you'll have a good work life, home life balance, and you will not. They hold their drivers in the highest regard, and everyone else, except office personnel, are considered support and to them are expendable. Management is impossible to get a hold of, any concerns that you may have will be either dismissed or ignored, OSHA standards are ignored and OSHA violations continue to happen all the time, they instruct their drivers to run illegally and they expect you to be dedicated and loyal to the company but do not reciprocate for the employees. They've changed their name three other times because of not being able to get it right. They're a small business with a corporate mindset and to them their employees are nothing but numbers. They're degrading and will tell you that you're screwing up, you're costing the company money, and will literally call you an idiot so they don't have to give you a raise. Don't have a medical issue, because if you get approved for a medical issue and being off, you will be called up and threatened with termination because of missing. Avoid atomic at all cost don't waste your time or your mental capacity.

As per most of the reviews state, you put in 70 hours a week to only bring home around $800 bucks even though the listing says $1600 and some Saturdays but you WILL work most if not all Saturdays including all holidays. They set up the company on route pay as an incentive to haul more trash but it only works if you have a load, If you’re not working you’re not getting paid. So it glorifies speeding, people being cutthroat, and drama.  You’ve always got issues with tires being flat, other drivers being cutthroat, drivers putting cones in front of trailers to signal that the trailer is down but it’s to save themselves a trailer. This is the worst job I’ve ever had in my 7 years of driving. As long as I keep seeing this ad on indeed I will report it every day.  Do the math on an hourly rate of net $800 a week and let me know if your time in school was worth it at 70 hours a week.  

The job offers decent pay starting out, which is one of the few positives. However, there are no raises or opportunities for advancement, no matter how long you stay or how well you perform. You’re essentially just a driver, and that’s how you’re treated—there’s little recognition or investment in your development. The work is repetitive, and management doesn’t seem interested in helping employees grow within the company. If you’re looking for a long-term career path or a company that values and promotes its people, this isn’t the place. Benefits are standard, but don’t make up for the lack of upward mobility. This job might work if you’re looking for something temporary or just starting out, but it’s not ideal if you have goals to move forward. Overall, it’s a decent place to get your foot in the door, but don’t expect to build a future here.

It’s hauling trash. You take the trash from the transfer station to the landfill. The loader operator in Hendersonville didn’t load properly, making the tarping process somewhat dangerous. You have to be comfortable with heights because you have to climb up the 13 ft trailer several times a day. Overall an easy job. It does require hard work. Days are about 12 hours. Monday through Friday and then every other Saturday as needed. But don’t let them fool you. It’s pretty much every Saturday for the summer and fall. They will also ask you to travel to other locations to help out. But they usually put you in a pretty nice hotel.  Trucks go 68. No logs. You do pull over weight loads all the time but overweight tickets don’t hurt your license.  I’d go back one day if I had to.  

● Work-life balance
Work-life balance at Atomic Transport, LLC is terrible. You will work your life away here. Forget being around your wife, kids, and friends because you will never have the time.

● Management
In general, managers at Atomic Transport, LLC are filled with ego. Trying to get your point across here is like arguing with your wife, you won’t win.

● Overall
My experience working at Atomic Transport, LLC  was less than favorable. If you have any talent don’t waste your time here. If you are a person that wants to achieve success put that energy and effort behind yourself or a different company. My biggest mistake was caring too much. This is the place you go when you are at the end of your career not when you have promise.

-a typical day at work:
Rude and extremely unperfessional TM, you never know what you're getting paid for.
-what you believe you learned: 
Keep your mouth shut and never stick up for safety concerns or yourself.
-management: We had 4 TM's in 2 years, the newest one is extremely unperfessional, likes to scream at employees. Everyone has reported him to upper management but they dont care.
-the hardest part of the job: 
Having to get up and deal with the Rude employees. It's mentally exhausting.
-the most enjoyable part of the job:
Literally nothing it's the most unperfessional, drama flooded job I've ever encountered. Not to mention one day your supposed to get paid for something and the next day it changes. It's completely utterly disgusting. 

While the company offers opportunities to work and gain experience, the overall employee environment is disappointing. There is a consistent lack of respect and care shown toward employees, which makes it difficult to feel valued or supported. Trust within the workplace is limited, as communication and transparency from leadership are lacking. Additionally, seniority and experience do not appear to be recognized or respected, which can be discouraging for long-term employees who have dedicated time and effort to the organization. Overall, the company would benefit greatly from improving its management practices, employee relations, and respect for tenure.
