Elite Transportation Systems Inc.

Ive worked here for the last 4 months.  Its a fun place to work and teamwork is the mantra.  We all work together well and the environment is inviting.  When you walk in the door you're greeted with smiles and you can hear the light laughter as the people here are enjoying their work.  I would recommend Elite for anybody looking for a company thats been solid for 20 yrs.  Thats what I do all day is recommend the company to potential drivers.  The prroofs in the pudding Ive contracted 25 drivers and only 2 have left and both for personal reasons. The management is hands on but not micro controlling.  The sales and dispatch team have all worked here for many many years.  The owner is on site and his door is always open. The last 20 years have been solid growth every year and more to come.

This business is not for everyone.  The work can be spotty depending on the time of year and the economic situation.  I like the independence of being an independent contractor.  I log in, in the morning when I am ready and log out in the afternoon when I feel I am done for the day.  Dispatchers may question why you log off early, but you are an independent contractor, and they are really only concerned with your success.  However, it does help to be flexible.  It is only stressful if you let it.  The management seems to be pretty cool and laid back.  The dispatchers and office staff are top notch.  There are no forced purchases of apparel, unlike other companies.  A couple of shirts and a hat... I was in business.  I have worked with another company.  The ‘other’ one was like a cult.

My experience at Elite was pretty bad. While there were good days and good interactions with management it was mostly like walking on eggshells there. The dispatchers and CSR's are wonderful but I can see why the turnover rate for employees is so high. The lack of communication between the office and management is outstanding and makes for a hostile environment. The hiring process is very biased as well as the criteria for getting raises and moving forward in the company. 
Although I will miss the dispatchers and other CSR's, I would not work at Elite again.

You will experience the true definition of teamwork in a fast paced environment at Elite Transportation Systems. Every person working within or contracted with Elite Transportation Systems has the ability to count on one another to provide top quality service to all of our customers. Very family oriented. You will be provided the tools to succeed. I have worked for other companies where everything was very secretive. You felt you were on your own to survive. Not at Elite Transportation Systems. Great company, great people.

Upper class clientele, so  your level of demeanor must represent that.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
busy all day or night, consistent.

I've been working at Elite Transportation for 4 months now in the office. Being a IC driver for 14 years at another company I can see the benefits at Elite.  The work culture is great, the dispatchers and CSR's are the best. Seeing the amount of work that comes in to be enough for all the IC drivers to have work. No matter what type of vehicle your in a car, van, pick-up, mini van, dock truck, flatbed or semi seems a lot of work to go around. I can not say enough good things about Elite Transportation.,

What is the best part of working at the company?
You get a good Christmas bonus 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If you make a mistake you'll get treated like you're dumb. They definitely know how to take away your confidence instead of doing any additional training.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile. A lot of yelling and threatening. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sit for 8 hours answering phones

I worked with them twice within a 2 year span and both experiences were terrible. The office gals and a few dispatchers were cool but managment is the worst!   The work is inconsistent and the environment is stressful. But the one thing that blew me away was that they were giving me attitude if I did not want  To work on any given day. I'm an independent contractor it's my choice! If you challenge them or give them attitude back you will be out of the click and you won't get runs.

Elite has been a great partner as an independent contractor. Dispatch does not play favorites though many have accused them of this. I work hard, treat customers well and have always made descent money because of that. If you work hard, don’t cherry pick runs and are consistent you too will make money here! 

Management are too busy harassing other people about their personal lives then helping you succeed in your job. If you don’t fit into their clique, they will do everything in their power to make the day horrible. If you need to speak with the manager of CSR’s, she’s always in the owners office with the door closed.
