Typical day at work would be handling a high volume of phone calls and emails. Attend to all drivers and dispatch accordingly. Assure all customers receive shipments in a timely manner.
Co workers are good. Some may make it stressful with unnecessary cursing but I been told that's "part of the industry." 
Most enjoyable part of this job is the challenge and owner. Being challenged to pull containers out last minute and ssure all shipments were delivered on time and accounted for. Best part is the owner, he listens and is lenient as long as you do your work. He makes the job comfortable.

What is the best part of working at the company?
To be honest the entire experience was great, the upper management personal were good to work with. Most of the coworkers were good to work with. I don't have anything bad to say about this company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Last minute changes would be somewhat stressful rather it be with truck drivers or product. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Wasn't that bad, again for the most part everything ran smoothly 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Getting there and starting the day with a bang then relaxing when things settle down

I was recruited from a job I had been at for nearly 3 years and told I would be hiring brokers to work underneath me. I was also told that they had tools to help me succeed. My first week on the job I was told not to hire anyone, and I learned that they didn't have the tools they said they had. They didn't even have a CRM. I was reached out to by recruiters about the role I was doing. 4 weeks into the job I was laid off. Truly the most bizarre and unprofessional company I've ever worked for. 

The management sucks,  and if you are a truck driver they use loads as a weapon. If you refuse a load that doesn't pay well. They will deny you loads and tell you there isn't any work. There is know respect of privacy for personal matters. If you tell them something everyone in the terminal will know your business. Also they don't have alot of work. You will barely be able to run most weeks, and they don't like to pay drivers the money they owe them.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, the management team is very back stabbing and threatening

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with people that are against you

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very hostile, between drivers yelling at you and coworkers

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaos, very long hours, stressful

Not a great experience, I was charged numerous times for truck repairs and expenses even though it wasn't my truck . Don't recommend working for this family owned company. I wasted my business start up money on running with this company. Not professional at all.

Eastern Drayage is an amazing place to work. The culture is amazing and the people are truly brilliant. There is so much career mobility. The managers use every opportunity to help you improve and progress into a new role.


No one is perfect but you end up really learning a lot from the ownership. They care and will go out of there way to make you happy. Great culture exciting field and we are from the top 3 in the NY area. 

My favorite thing about working here was that it always feels like everyone is rooting for you and wants you to do your best. Everyone really cares about one another, and it felt more like a close-knit family unit than a business. 

I am thankful for being with these guys. This is a company where you can grow and succeed and become an added value. Sky is the limit here and you an really succeed and go places if you just want to.
