Working here wasn’t all bad. The pay was decent. 1500 a week get about 1200 after taxes. But it’s a 6 day work week. Shift starts a 6am. Some days you may finish extremely early 8-9-10-11 and be done for the day. Other days you may not finish until 3-4-5. But that wasn’t really the problem. The problem was management. They do this thing where if you miss a day for a VALID reason your pay will be deducted and the deduction is like $600. You can tell them ahead of time that you can’t work a day and if they can’t replace you they basically tell you, you have no choice but to come in. If you don’t your check will be about $600 after working 5 days. It’s terrible imo. Sometimes the work load can be heavy. They may give you something late in the day a hour or so away when your day is about to be over. And you have to do it. My truck ran good though. Got flats and air lines leaks a couple times but other than that pretty solid. If you’re just starting out I would say this is a good job. Get home at a reasonable time. You’ll just be tired. Shifts starting at 6am 6 days a week will have you exhausted at times. And like i said if you have a emergency whatever it may be if they don’t have anyone to “cover you” you’ll basically work 5 days for $100 a day. Cause trust and believe they take advantage of that deduction thing they do. I would never go back personally but I think it’s a good start up job. And oh before I forget. My store was took over by another company and I wasn’t told my store was getting took over until my last day. Basically the day they decided to lay me off 😂 literally a joke. For weeks this Comapny was taking over certain stores and nothing was ever said to me about mine until the last day. 

It seems like they had something going on behind the scenes there. Certain people came into the company, and advanced up the ranks very quickly, acquiring numerous routes. Others were there toilng for years, and never advanced, their solution was to go and become a subcontractor for someone who came in after you.The money would decrease on you, with barely a week's notice at times. The busier the company became, the less they seemed to pay. You were scheduled to work 6 days a week, with no set finish time. If you ever requested time off, they will give you the run around, or they would act as if no they didn't get your request. By the time they would get back to you, they will tell you that someone else already had that time off. Whenever you had a real issue, management refused to pick up the phone, or respond to emails. I was charged three different escrows during my time there, and when my employment ended, not one cent of those escrows were returned to me. A lot of the people I dealt with at the stores are a great to me, but as far as the company itself, you really felt like you were out there on your own most of the time.

The most enjoyable part of my job would have been the people i worked with. We made sure things were done how they were supposed to be everyday before we left. i went into the office not knowing very much about how to do my job, i left knowing alot about trucking industry and how it works. The hardest part of my job would have been waiting on driver's loads to be finished and calling the driver's while sleeping to let them know they were done. For a while, my mother was my boss. They sent someone else in to help her out. He wasn't very friendly to any of us. He had poor management skills and not very easy to work with. it became harder to come to work and i finally gave my two weeks and found a new job, but with less money. i never missed a day at work and became very reliable to the drivers and covered when my co-workers needed a day off. i now have a family and looking for something more stable including more money.

Prepare to work 70+  hours a week no eld no track of workweek time . Flat rate of 1500 a week no matter what . If you call out or anything goes wrong during pay period losing 500 dollars out your check possibly more. I’ve lost 670 for a medical emergency. 6 day work week. Monday to Saturday. Load issue, equipment issues . Management doesn’t care how long your days are because you are paid a daily rate that can change to their discretion. Have to deal with pallets flying off flatbed due to warehouse lack of urgency . risk hitting hurting or killing people

If you are looking for a job where you can work six days a week, this could be the one for you. This employer offers great vacation time that you can take whenever they let you, you can choose small windows of times that aren’t “blacked out”. I worked or should I say suffered at this place for two years until I finally figured out that no job is better than this job. The supervisors freely lie ona a daily basis, if you’re looking to suffer and have no time with your family sign up today!

During my 9 months for working for Big E Transportations, It was an Up And Down Type Of Thing With Them Your Already Working 6 Days A Week, And The Management Was Horrible From The Jump, things Changed in the Contract Without Notice, They Started Putting More Work On Us Drivers And Not Willing To Pay More, They Have Managers That Do Not Communicate At All With The Drivers It Was Stressful Working For Them I Can Say More About How It Was Most Drivers Just Find Out Thereselves.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is great and they pay for your room wherever you're staying and the flight to the area and your flight home

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Driving around in certain cities with a lot of low bridges and cars parked on both sides of the road

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great job culture, all of the mangers are very helpful 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get to work at 5am pick up my trailer go on my deliveries

High turnover ratio! After I got hired I immediately applied for another job. They will lay you off once it becomes slow and will mark you eligible for rehire. Management is poor, the training is poor, the communication style is poor, nobody can be trusted, and  overall it’s a bad experience. Also there benefits doesn’t start until after 90 days and most people don’t make it to 90 days due to layoffs. You’re required to work Monday-Saturday and after you have logged out they will call you giving you a job after you have logged out.

a typical day at work would be to conduct pre trip inspection of tractor and trailer, deliver supplies to stores. I have learned a lot about backing a semi and the required space needed to move in small areas with a semi. my co-workers are great there a lot of fun and very helpful. the hardest part of the job is delivering in the winter weather. the most enjoyable part of the job would be my co-workers

Company does not care about employees at all 6 days a week delivering for home depot  they will make up and change the rules as they go what you are told when you are hired is not what will happen miss one day of work at it will cost you not only the days pay but the 500 compliance pay as well so a sick day cost you about 700 dollars had us delivering in snow storms with unsafe road conditions i couls go on for every about how bad they are to work for.  By far the WORST PLACE I EVER WORKED.
