Day at work driving down the road getting from point a to point b without getting in a accident.
What I learned how to read maps and diliver units across contry and deal with all kinds of customers. Also how to fill out a log book.
Management was great.They were really good about teaching me the things I needed to know.
Co-workers were great
The hardest part of the job was being gone so much from home it just was not born and bread into me.
The most enjoyable part of the job was, getting to see so much of the contry I probally never would have got to see it any other way than working a job that made it possible. I really enjoyed it.
Office/part
8-5 m-f
How to do payroll,dispatch,sign out units,deal with everyday issues
management was great
co-workers fine
hardest part of the job:
doing everything by myself when Mgr. was gone, because I did'nt do it everyday. So some times would make mistake and get chewed out.
most enjoyable part of the job: I was home every night and week-ends.

This place is the WORST!!  25% for absolutely zero help. You will deadhead more than actual loaded miles. My overall average for all miles was 1.45 for step deck 53’.  You have to cold call “agents” and Brokers for loads they won’t put on the board. And the loads they get are from DAT and Truck Stop for a 25% cut that goes to them for answering the phone. That is if they ever do answer the phone.  If you wanna make money or expand your business stay FAR FAR AWAY from this clown show. I was running 3000-4000 a week and making no more than 3700$ a week. After Fuel. I did mostly oversize because they tend to pay better. So you’d be better off going to a smaller dispatch service that’s money hungry that only charges 10% commission and they’ll keep you rolling. Their insurance for a truck and trailer worth 100k combined was 350$ a week. And same day pay lololololol. 90% take 2-4 days to pay. Same day pay is only on day one when they try to pretend like they care jajaja good luck and don’t get baited onto this place. 

I have worked in transportation since 1997. This is the first company that I have ever worked for that I just didn't feel like I fit in. The area manager expected perfection, and that means no mistakes what so ever. I don't like making mistakes either, but we are human. Anyways it just didn't work out. They let me go, they told me one reason, and they told the Unemployment agency a different reason, My personal reason I think is because my husband had to have surgery and I had to miss some work for that and carrying him to the Dr. 

My day started as inputing data into the computer, loads, doing payroll, billing, copying, faxing, scanning, answering the phone, general office work. I had only one coworker, he was my immediate boss. 
The hardest part of my job wasn't really the job, but that they hired me to help my coworker, well my coworker would leave for lunch and may be gone for 3 hours, so I was there doing all the work.  
I have always loved transportation. I have done learned alot thru the years, dispatching, finding loads, ifta, logs, etc.

A very much a family company.  Everyone in management had an open door policy.  You could walk into any office and discuss anything with managers.  We were treated very good!  They would cater Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner to our cafeateria. As a whole the work environment was stressful at times, slow at others.  There was always something to do. I helped out in different departments when I could.  The hardest part was teaching new drivers all the legals they needed to run their trucks thru different states.  I had to prepare a booklet on their legals based on where they would drive to, by state. I enjoyed working with my team members and managers, and the President.  They were very open to new ideas to make all run smoother.

I did drive away here for almost 5 years. Even though I was an independent contractor they sometimes treat you like an employee. I put off surgery through the VA. I got to a place where I needed it to live. There was a truck available to get me close to home. I was told I had to do a truck that delivered in Pennsylvania first. I explained I had to do surgery and I would not get home in time if I went to Pennsylvania. They would not give me that truck headed back to the house. I had to deadhead over 700 miles. I was told my surgery wasn’t there problem. Now they are holding my escrow money 45 days from the day they got there plates back because they can. Even though I never had a claim and it’s been almost 90 days since i have worked for the.

Round the clock operation, there was always someone willing to show you how to improve on your paper work. The owners was top notch for a mom/pop type trucking company no one was never to busy to take time to talk with you they always had time for the employees. The hardest part of this job was losing our owners, they were more like a second set of parents to all of us than the owners that they really were, but it never was showed that way to us. Just the laughter that was shared every day by everyone in the office and the drivers, if someone had to be dealt with that was my job and I did that behind closed doors, just myself and the employee that needed to be dealt with, miss it a whole lots. Wish I could get those days back.

Bennett is a transporter of buses, trucks from point A to delivery at point B. The job pay is based on the amount of miles you go.

Your consider a contractor and are paid up front half and on delivery the rest. 
Out of the up front fee you have to cover your own transportation to point A, then all expanses Ie such as fuel over night lodging, that why most of the time to save money i slept in the bus or truck.

There easy managers, your not force dispatch.
It was a good way to see the country and be paid for it.

Most of the time you have to move equipment both ways to making a good living. But most of the time it was one way only, and the expanses cut into your $$$$$ earnings for the trip.

The job was 100%  on your own, with managers being there.

These people are a waste of time. I applied online and talked to a recruiter. I told them that I have over a year's experience in the transport industry and I have a tow car. A clean MVR, no accidents or tickets. They said that's great, we have orientation coming up in a few weeks on Sept. 6th. We'll call you back. September 1st came, and they still hadn't called. I called them and left a few messages. Finally, on Sept. 5th, I got a hold of a recruiter, and they tell me that they decided not to hire me. When I ask them why, they made me guess why. I said I have no idea. So, he just kept repeating the same garbage over and over. Finally, he tells me that I don't have enough "positive job history". I was like, what does that mean? He couldn't even tell me. In short, these people are idiots. Maybe I just got a bad recruiter, but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Did driveaway for 2 years with bennett. Pay was fair but dispatch has issues with drivers. Like most trucking companies in the industry, bennett doesn't respect there drivers. They talk to you like a child or like you stupid. I found one dispatcher that was very professional and respected me as a driver and i would call in direct to her extension for loads. Mostly women running the company telling the majority men drivers what to do. Don't make any mistakes while working for bennett, they will fire you instantly, including accidents, tickets and bad dot stops ! You must walk on water while employed by them !

Fast Paced company dealt with the distribution and storage of Vendor customers products in our warehouse.

Took care of the Vendors Accounts and provided customer service with them
I enjoyed the job very much, and yes learned alot, the hardest part of the job was having to deal with the transition of the company.
Alot of changes were  implied but nothing stable, the stability was not solid.
The best and enjoyable part of the job was helping resolve the customers complaints and being able to help them by providing the best customer service.
