As stated in the summary - stay away from this workplace. The toxicity here is contagious and will end up coming home with you. The typical work day is described as starting at 6am and ending at 2:30pm, but that's far from true. The typical work day starts at 6am, disappointment is sure to follow because your load isn't pulled for you to haul so you'll have to pull it yourself. After you pull, band and haul that load, there's 3 or 4 more for you to pull, band and then deliver to North County STL probably in the bad neighborhoods. The crews you deliver to will be unpleasant to deal with, you'll be limited to 65MPH in your truck that contains a 4 way dash camera to monitor you while you drive. Everything is restricted, your truck will yell if you speed, roll a stop sign or miss a red light. Equipment typically only gets fixed if its truly too broken to operate - writing up failing equipment is a waste of time that gets you ignored and seen as a hinderance to TRUE work. Dispatch is a horrible joke - wrong addresses provided for deliveries on the regular & is usually your problem to fix if you delivered to the wrong site. No sense of teamwork - do it all on your own or it won't get done at all. 
People are generally nice until you need them to do their job appropriately - when you ask someone to do their job you'll be met with contempt and treated as a roadblock. 
Don't even think about calling in or asking to leave early or on time because you'll be made to feel awful for even asking.

I gave Buchheit over a month notice that I would be leaving once I was ready to move out of the state. They refused to pay vacation because they said I didn’t finish my two weeks notice. Couple that with bonuses they wouldn’t pay, they owed me $3000 that they refused to pay. Couple that with horrible work-life balance and a leadership team that is so removed from operations and an unwillingness to assist with problems, I would say that working for this company was the worst mistake I’ve ever made in a career.  President of company also mentioned frequently that company wasn’t making money so based on that, I don’t expect them to stay in business too much longer.

Used to be a great family oriented job.  Not so much now. Dispatcher and fleet manager are a joke.  Talk down to you or out right ignore you when you have suggestions.  Fleet manager  rarely  calls you back. Only when THEY need something. Treat you like a child. All other management people are great people to be around and work for.  Shop is ok but leave it to dispatch when to get things fixed. Dispatch constantly tell you now isn’t a good time. You have to constantly text dispatch to get the issue fixed or when it finally breaks and you can’t drive.

Maintenance on trucks and trailers

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Good but usually pretty stressful dealing with all the crazy drivers in the city traffic and that’s makes for a very long day in itself

I reviewed and processed warehouse bills of lading for five (at one point, six) warehouses.  I maintained and distributed warehouse management reports and communicated with warehouse clients. My job was to ensure the accuracy of warehouse inventory data and to invoice warehouse clients at month end. I enjoyed a good working rapport with both the Warehouse Logistics Manager and the Warehouse Manager.  They are dedicated people who are good at their jobs and did their best to ensure things got done correctly.

They work around the law to make sure you get paid same pay with no overtime pay raise at all after 40 hours. They do not listen to the drivers the 2 years i was there. And i was trying to both help me on pay but also help benefit the company on what they make as well. Only work here if you plan to retire soon and just need a thing to do with low pay.

If your hired as a truck mechanic they tell you that's all you do, but the second they get slow your working on trailers. The shop can't hold trailers since there's only 3 bays for tractors. You work on trailers outside in the parking lot wether it's snowing ,raining or freezing cold they don't care. The manager is disrespectful to his people and talks to everyone like thier kids. It's a big joke. 

I will say I definitely love to job but considering there was a layup in the glass company Department it hurt a lot of people and a lot of people had to look around and find out if jobs fast as possible to keep up their lifestyles

The shop is joke very little room to work. You have to work on trailers outside in the parking lot no matter what the weather. The manager belittles everyone on the floor no matter how hard you try to make him happy you can't. If you like being yelled at and talked down to then this is your place.

When I first took this position, I wasn't sure what to expect.  Within the first couple months I knew I had found a home. The management team here cares about each team member and goes above and beyond for their employees. I would highly recommend any of our positions.
