COASTAL CARRIERS

While I was there I was a lease purchase driver and I did very well... Sometimes I bumped heads with management but realized later that they really had my best interest at heart... Jon the CEO is cool and accessible because his desk is right in the open with the driver managers... If you’re not used to running over 3K miles a week this may not be the place for you... While I was there I was in the top 10 percent of the drivers as far as miles since I would average 3.4K miles a week according to Jon... Everyone communicates with each other and everyone know everyone by name... If you want to be paid well and treated like you matter, consider working here... I had to quit a couple of weeks ago due to family issues and circumstances but if it weren’t for that, I’d still be there...

Overall, this is a good company with good people. The owner is very hands-on and involved, and the company does a great job maintaining its equipment. They keep drivers moving, so there’s usually plenty of work available.

The biggest downside for me was the compensation. While the work is steady, I don’t feel the pay is competitive for the amount of work required, especially with the frequent early morning deliveries. If the pay were better, this would be an even stronger company to work for.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great boss and equipment lot of miles best company I drove for if I didn't have health reasons I would've retired there

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Didn't have any were given plenty of time to get to are delivery point 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome it was like extended family great dispatchers an get to know a lot of the other drivers 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I did 400 to 500 miles a day but I was a hard runner an Kehe foods was are biggest account

My Wife and I have been here for 8 years this coming October. We find dispatch works with their drivers and customers well. Management is topnotch. The President/Owener is easily accesible to all employees. The lease program, if you so choose,  is one of the better programs in the industry. Majority of the drivers who have choosen to lease have been extremley succesful. There is no arm twisting to lease.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It seems as Everyone of my coworkers have always spoke highly of the way Everyone in management treats their employees.    Coastal is getting ready to grow leaps and bounds...

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not much stress to my position.  Everyone in my department works as a team.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We are very busy and the day goes by quickly

I can't think of any negatives other than the location.  I wish they were located in Denver where I live.

I get as many miles as I can handle, home time when I ask and for as long as I ask.  I am treated with respect and concern by everybody!  Nice benefits and a very nice driver's lounge with free laundry and shower. Newer equipment with few problems.  Trucks have opt idle, bunk heater, refrigerator, and inverter.  What more could a driver ask for?

Good salary for the first 6 months after that time frame strait commission and you will need to pay back the loses plus 5% as a group, that way the company makes money and the brokers pay for the poor management decisions from the business development manager.  
All brokers are very concerned with this system and not making money.

The owner and CFO are not good people. They have set up a system to take from the drivers by forcing them into a lease on a truck they they will never be able to afford. The company has gone this route so they do not have to pay work comp insurance health insurance or and other employee related cost. Most driver end up farther in debt that where they started when they go to work here.

Great company to drive for. Friendly staff and open door policy with management. They offer all the miles you want to drive legally. And they run coast to coast. They offer a Lease program if you like. Most of the loads are from a dedicated customer so we do a lot of cross dock loads. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing at all do yourself a favor and run

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything there is nothing positive 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Just make them money forget about you

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
14 + hours a day they don’t car about the law
