Beelman Truck Co

Over all Horrible company to work for. Little to no training. No HR which allows certain individuals in upper management do as they please. They tell you one minute your job is secure and your doing a good job then all of a sudden they show up one day and your fired out of the blue. No write ups, no complaints, nothing. They descriminate on age. Refused to hire a older driver back after he was medically released because he was a liability.  They made a whole terminal work without any facilities for 3 months after a tornado destroyed old shop/office. Everyday telling them that it was almost over that they was just days away from a solution. Never reimbursed for expenses when told by upper management that would be. Refused to follow employee handbook. Anytime an employee was disciplined/terminated for violations clearly written in handbook it would be overturned by upper management. All said employee had to do was go above local management.

there were great people that worked there and for the most part everyone worked as a team.  Hard working, dedicated employees that want to do things right and care about their job.  There was a lack of communication from management and appreciation for their employees. There was no hierarchy or management levels of responsibility.  Everyone pretty much reported to the owners.  For a large company they did not have a Human Resource department where employees could express their concerns.  You had to speak directly to owners.  Nice working conditions and pay was good but the stress level that was forced on employees is unacceptable.  As the saying goes.... "Never push loyal employees to the point they no longer care.  Loyal employees are your most valuable asset".

I've been with Beelman for a little over a year now. The company is not as bad as the reputation it gets. The equipment is nice, well maintained, and if you have a breakdown they usually get to you within an hour. If you breakdown outside of terminal area they send the closest services to you. The pay is good, 28%-31%, for what you are doing. Some runs pay more, some less. They try to keep you busy through winter which can be a good thing depending on the run. Its not fun having a load of frozen coal. The benefits are also pretty good compared to other companies I've driven for, I.e. $50/week family health, 25% match 401k, 1 week vacation first year. The work environment is fun if you like going off roading. You may be out 1-2 times per week depending on how hard you want to run, this also factors into your annual pay. If you are just starting out in the industry, you can't go wrong. They do threaten to take your safety bonus, a lot.

The selected terminal managers are complete morons, and one knocked a telephone pole over with the CAT loader and lied to the owner about it to get out of trouble, while the other one got fired for peeing dirty. 
Typical trucking company games 
Bait and switch for most new drivers 
Long hours and no overtime pay 
High performers are not rewarded
You can scratch the back of pushy dispatch, but they don’t scratch yours. 
Great benefits
Horrible PTO
Management denies your vacation requests 
Pay is pretty good for the area
Decent home time 
You’ve probably had worse jobs than this
The owner is a loose cannon who doesn’t care about his employees at all. He is very unprofessional and is notorious for screaming at his staff.  
Extremely stressful environment 
Crude staff at every yard. 
Vending machines are alright 

Beelman saved my life. Literally. Their benefits alone are worth It to work here. $60 a week for your whole family (health, vision, dental, life, short term, long term, etc.). If you want to make money in Trucking, this is the place for you. My husband and I both worked here. His 2nd year he made $90k. My first, I made $80k. Rarely go out overnight but that was our choice. The group of dispatchers they have at the moment are by far, the best they’ve ever had. The more you prove that you are dependable and reliable, the better loads you’ll get. You scratch their back, and trust me.. they will scratch yours. They know who runs hard and don’t complain. Beelman gets new trucks and trailers in frequently. I am saddened that I even had to leave them, but we’re moving to another state. Absolutely could not recommend them more! 

The management at beelman truck company is a joke they will do everything in their power to keep you from getting any money and ask more of you daily and and take on more tasks without wanting to pay you accordingly. Management could careless about you a Shop mechanic Or foreman all terminal managers care about is the drivers and giving them exactly what they want even if they want you to do something unsafe to the equipment to get whatever the drivers want. Equipment is filthy and worn out and the drivers there could care less about taking care of the equipment because nothing will be done about it management will have the shop guys clean it for them so it’s a bad place to be a mechanic at don’t waste ur time

Very fast pace environment which I love, the management needs a little work.

This place is not a good environment to work in.  It is very toxic.  Your told to do your work one way then they will change it on you without telling you then get mad when you give suggestions to make the job easier.  Managers are like 5 year olds, they like to watch every move you make and then tell on you all while they are doing the same things you are, and then they don't get into trouble.  Your bathroom breaks will be monitored and if your in there for too long or to often (heaven forbid you have belly issues) you get yelled at.  You are always wondering if you made someone mad and are going to have a job the next day.  You should just run for the hills and find a different company to work for.

This is the best company I got to know out of three, as a driver. Beelman Ghent has a great work culture, with excellent management. Coworkers are professional and collaborative. Out of OTR, Regional and Local, I would describe this as "local with the option for regional", based on how you want to run and be paid, decide as you go. Guarantee you won't find a better opportunity among trucking companies with a new CDL.

BEST ADVICE without posting more than people like to read: Check them out, and don't be skeptical because of how some other companies might operate. These are good people offering a great opportunity to make good money and spend time with the family.

Still not a bad place but be ready to not have a regular schedule . They always want to keep you in the dark and dont think about wha5 time you start your day its as if you are to be telepathic to know when the loads are available
 Its kinda like the food e boy company. If ya know someone you can make it. But if you just wanna work hard and get nothing but bs loads when you know there is better loads out there its frustrating to us all.some days food but not every week is the same one day at a time. So good luck. Gope your a good ole boy and get into a good dispatcher.
