When they first started out they got a a pay raise and things started to look up. There have been quite a few bumps in the road along the way, but generally things always seem to get better after the rough patches. This has been the same with every company I have ever worked for. In more than 30 years I haven't seen a company that is devoid of these types of issues. 

The hardest part about them has been the revolving door in upper management. There have been too many managers here that were too weak to actually do their job. They are on their 3rd Terminal Manager in the last year and it shows. Things were really starting to change for the better over the last few months. The new manager was easy to talk to and was really trying to change the culture. He seemed very driven and always there and was always working. 
The drivers always got away with doing nothing before him and now are actually being held accountable. There is a long way to go, but at least they were starting to make drivers work.

If I wasn't moving I would never have left. This is the type of place I've been looking for. It's been over 20 years since I had a job with good people and good managers. 

Politics are not as bad there as most places I've worked. It would be nice if they would spread the work out so the same guys aren't always pulling the load. They have started to change this, but it was still a problem.

I recently worked at Black Rock Logistics and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. One of the major issues I encountered was the requirement to lift extremely heavy items without any accommodations or proper support. This not only posed a significant risk to my health and safety but also made the job unnecessarily strenuous.

Additionally, the training provided was virtually non-existent. New hires are expected to learn on the job with minimal guidance, which leads to confusion and inefficiency. This lack of proper training and support from management made it difficult to perform tasks effectively and safely.

To make matters worse, there was no guidance on how to enter the building on the first day, and no one was available to contact for assistance. This lack of organization and communication added to the overall frustration and made the onboarding process even more challenging.

Overall, I would not recommend working at Black Rock Logistics due to these serious concerns. Proper accommodations, comprehensive training, and clear communication are essential for a safe and productive work environment, and unfortunately, Black Rock Logistics falls short in these areas.



This  company it self is great! The management and there's a lot of them most of them aren't very  knowledgeable how to dispatch drivers...our dispatch are separate to the company drivers the company drivers hours of service are monitored by a different supervisor which has no communication dispatch. Were told not to anything that dispatch tells what to do with out checking  in with our supervisor first. Never worked for a company like this. Supervisor is has her favorites and very racists against Hispanics haven't got no raise in 2 years they start you out and say you'll get a raise with your first year..not it was time for me to go when health insurance suck and they took the 401k out..no future for a company driver dead end job

Started with this company a few years back and have only had a dollar raise. You will be promised a raise and for sure never get it. Benefits are okay besides they took away 401k. They are very unorganized. Management? Who's management they never know what title they hold so therefore they send you to different people that don't even know what to do with you. Hr is very unprofessional. The current safety manager doesn't do her job that great either. There is a lot of favoritism with this company. They don't care about the safety of their employees, you pull pallet jacks with out back braces cause it's not provided. They say you work 12 hour shifts but once you hit 8 hours they try their hardest to send you home. Overall I think this company is for someone who isn't to worried about pay and don't mind being treated poorly.

This is how much they care about there drivers! I was a driver for this company and was fired for attendance reasons. All explain I recently lost my older brother he killed himself. My schedule at the time was Wednesday nights through Sunday nights. His death occurred 11th I came in on the 12th and night management notice i was not myself. I told what happened and they said to take as much time as i need off and they would notify everyone else. The 15th comes around and I tell one of my bosses who was notified that I would be coming in the 17th. The 17th comes around.i showed up and immediately pulled into a office and given my last check and the reason is attended I explained what happened but they didn't  care. This is how they manage their drvrs!!!

Runs were usually consistent, but the owners leadership was lacking, to much micro management. Owner didn't want to back employees when needed. Loads were late due to it being a logistics company and we had to constantly wait for the warehouse to load our trailers, a lot of missed gate times which the drivers would be looked down at for. Dispatch was constantly having to call stores to inform them of late arrivals that were not do to the driver. Management was done from CA with little thought about how different the weather is in WA. Company mechanics tried to keep tractors and trailers on the road, but got little financial help for parts.

Being a fairly New company  a lot of problems comes with it.
A lot of coming and going with the other drivers. the drivers that where there before me were just waiting on a promise that was given to them but it never pan out. Driver that where with the company before it changed over ended up leaving cause of promises made by the new owner and supervisors that where not met. I stayed on cause at first I need a job and my boss was pretty cool but then people started leaving and things started to just go down hill for me after busting my butt threw the holidays and was told things would get better after the holidays but didn't. A lot of lying going on in the upper management so I wouldn't believe them.

A typical work day at BRL can be easy going, but with the high turnover rate of employees, I do not recommend a long term choice working with this company. Their Management system has no regards for employees. Just know that when you decide to work here, there is no promised probation period. So whatever pay-rate you are started with, that will be what it will be, till they decide to move you up, which most likely will be never.

Long story short, don't waste your time

What is the best part of working at the company?
busy and fast paced, good place to learn more

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
supervisors have favorites and tell  employees business to the other employees, management does not back you up 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
back stabbing of coworkers, management allows employees to carry on like they are in a party house

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
clock in finish the other shifts work then do my work listen to coworkers talk about coming to work drunk or be on personal calls for 2 hours

This is a third party FedEx contractor. Don't let them fool you about working for another company. FedEx has complete and total control over everything you do the contractor has no say or power. Lowest pay for delivery drivers in the entire industry, minimal benefits. They tell you one thing and do another. Trucks are not maintained well and wouldn't pass inspection. I wouldn't sacrifice my health and safety for this place. Terminal intentionally sabatoges drivers over for their own benefit.
