Baylor Trucking

Accepted a Job Offer as a Night Operations Supervisor. I began training with their daycrew personnel.  I felt that I was learning fairly quickly. After my 4th week I was called into the Ops Manager Office and told I was not a good fit and I wasn't Baylor Material. Not once was I ever advised of goals or advised that I was doing anything wrong or incorrectly.  Office personnel are primarily 30 somethings that I found to be "clickish" and even standoffish, If you didn't grow up with them, or did not live where they lived.  I was promised mileage in my job offer and management was elusive from the get-go as to how to apply for it, and when I did get the proper forms, ops manager delayed paying it to me.  Bottom line, there is no stability within this company, it's ran like a small fiefdom, or more appropriately a Mafia type organization where Relative Management has conference calls with CSR's and Operations personnel and openly berates them  and is HOSTILE.  My intent here is not to get even with this company, but to explain how I was treated and how I felt the short 4 weeks I was exposed to it.  Drivers, you are forced dispatched here, whether you are a Company Driver or an Independent Contractor.  If you do accept a position here, I would monitor your pay VERY carefully.

Hired in as Director of Safety. Held the position longer than anyone in the company's history.  A high stress position, required to train 200 plus CDL drivers in transportation safety and hours of service regulations and requirements. Worked directly with Company Owner in all insurance purchases and management. Managed accident and cargo claims.  Held a CDL license and actually delivered loads of freight to be knowledgeable of life on the road as a driver and what they were actually experiencing. Learned an immense amount of knowledge from the company owner.  The hardest part of working at the business was dealing daily with the "family" of the owner and their desires to take over the business management.

A lot of drivers complain about it but its only because they don't do their job the right way. Baylor has helped me with my family and doesn't give me grief when I go home they pay me well and its not just a company as drivers put on here. They compare them to huge companies and you can't because at baylor were all family we are a team fighting together to accomplish a goal. Our place in the trucking world. We are a family that kicks butt and takes names. We are here to work and succeed. All these reviews about how they are bad look every company has a bad side bit its how your team deals with it. That's the difference. Baylor is hands down the best company I've been apart of. I'm honored to be apart of the baylor family and to have them on my team is truly a blessing.

What is the best part of working at the company?
If you’re willing to work, you can get the miles. Depending on who your dispatcher is you may have to ‘gently’ remind him or her of when you want off, but it’s not that difficult. Flexible home time. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I’m part of a team so I get wrapped kinda tight when we get short runs. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We’ve been here 7 months and have found the company to be very respectful of drivers. You might have to stand your ground at times, but a lot of that stems from dispatchers having so many drivers to keep up with. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hahahaha!!!  Driving!

Days go fast, work is busy but manageable. Staff is hard working and lends helping hands to other staff and departments when necessary. Some days offer more challenges than others, but that is the case for all jobs that I have held in the past.  Those challenges create opportunities to grow and learn from those experiences. Great group of people to work with.

This company is great on the outside, but absolutely terrible on the inside. Cari Baylor is one of the worst people I have ever met or had to work for. If you've heard rumors about her or this company they are all true. She gets physical with people, intimidates employees and vendors. She is especially hard on other females. She puts on a good face for others in the industry, but when the door closes you never know which of Cari's multiple personalities you will get. She over pays and throws money around in order to keep things going, but no amount of money could ever make you happy working here. Keep looking.

What is the best part of working at the company?
New equipment. Mostly drop and hook.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You have to deal with a whole bunch of supervisors that don't know you or your role with the company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is fine and most of the drivers are young people that just came through the sausage factory.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sometimes it goes well and as planned. Sometimes you get mixed-up with complicated problems that take a long time to solve.

I had to leave BAYLOR AFTER 11 1/2 YEARS, due to my eyesight could not be corrected, and Ohio pulled my CDL, so I no longer drive. This company is 100% caring for every employee, no matter who you are! It's tough at first, as it is in every company's new hires. Give them a chance, the benefits are awesome, the people are awesome and you get paid to do all you do. They are definitely a career company, once you are here you will want to stay. YOU ARE A NAME IN THIS COMPANY, NOT A NUMBER!!! 

I don't have anything bad to say. All the employees I ever dealt with were very personable and, at minimum, gave the impression that they cared. My ONLY issue was not staying gainfully employed. I HAVE to stay busy and was for the first 6 months. After that, I would do a lot of sitting, to run a load, and sit some more (for different reasons). Some may have been out of their control, and others not. It just ended up becoming too much for me. Would definitely recommend. 

It was a good experience for the most part at at first. The loads were consistent and most of the staff was really nice. But the management behind the scenes has been known to scapegoat drivers for things that are not their fault. I've also experienced the rules being changed before my eyes to the point where I was forced to quit or agree to go to sundowntown towns where black people are are not welcome after dark. The beginning was great. The end was terrible.
