BIG M TRANSPORTATION

What is the best part of working at the company?
They will take you with only 3 months experience.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything. Bad trailers. Force split sleepers. Only paid for about 90 percent of miles driven. No breakdown pay. No detention pay at all. Layover pay is really hard to get. They only pay 50 cpm. 55 cpm is top pay. The only have one terminal. Facilities are horrible. Inexperienced driver managers. They take all difficult loads because they pay more but do not extend that to drivers. The will run you on short loads and multiple stops even if you stay out 8 weeks as OTR.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is volatile. Shop doesn't want to fix anything. Neither do drivers because they don't get paid for it. DM s are sarcastic. Their supervisors will refuse to communicate with drivers or talk to you horribly. Everybody is the same. Nothing you do will help you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Ridiculous. They can't schedule loads right. Excessive waits. No 25 hour dispatch. Can't get a load at night.

Big M is an overall decent company with steady work opportunities. However, my experience was affected by communication issues with dispatch. My dispatcher was often unprofessional in tone and difficult to work with, especially when it came to accommodating my military drill schedule. Despite offering a solution that would allow one team member to continue driving while I fulfilled my obligations, the request was denied due to their strict team-only policy. While the company has its positives, improved flexibility and professionalism in communication would make a significant difference for drivers with outside commitments.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I drove OTR my loads would come in via Qualcomm, good equipment Big M Transportation was willing to help if any issues arose

You work as much as you want and be home when you want, within reason. Dispatch is always willing to work with things you have going on at home. Actually I'd still work there if they had a local position in my area. I was just ready to get off the road. But overall, I had a great experience with them. They gave me a chance and I took full advantage. I was with them for almost 3 years. Teams make the best pay but you can make good money solo as well if you're willing to work. This company is really true to the idea that the driver is the most important.  It's not just a slogan for them. I would recommend them to anyone. 

A typical day at work varies from day to day.

I learned that the employees would perform better if their duties were more clearly defined.

Middle management is more worried about everyone knowing their middle management than actually setting clear, definitive directives.

For the most part the culture is below average. 

The hardest part of the job is that this is a non-forced dispatch company. It's hard to cover loads when the drivers can say they will not take a load.

Quitting time is the most enjoyable part of the job.



What is the best part of working at the company?
They really do respect their drivers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Teams generally run fed ex exclusively.  I really got tired of the gauntlet from Indy, to Jersey, to Memphis. I called it my Bermuda triangle. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fairly decent.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We are truck drivers ?? There is no typical day other then drive, put up with highway stupidity, and drive some more.

It is a decent company to work for meaning it was small enough to quickly understand the order of business and how day to day operations work. The office staff and shop knew you by your name which is a plus. I rarely felt like just another driver, it was more of a family environment. However, because it was a place of business some of the office staff including fleet managers and shop workers lacked professionalism at times.

I went above and beyond for the company my check didn't reflect that also worst communication always fault of the equipment and even my phone service wasn't the best but I but a 120% into it apu faulty and batteries never was appreciation for days I sweated in a hot truck dispatch informed me would get compensation none was given!

I've only been with the company for close to 6 months, and it started out great. Lots of promises during orientation that were proven to be empty. Never getting paid for all the miles driven, instead, being paid from zip code to zip code vice dock to dock. Lots of money lost that way. I've called and left messages for the so-called liason on several occasions but I've yet to hear back from him. Any supplies needed for the truck, i.e. straps, air pressure guage, etc, comes out of the driver's pocket. Not from the company.
