Management is NOT there to help. Actually they are really never there to begin with. You work all day, they skip work all day. 

Expect anywhere from 12 to 15 hours a day. Very high and unrealistic expectations. Demands a lot out you, yet gives nothing in return. No performance bonuses. 

PAID PER LOAD!!!

Trucks break down frequently. Use of retread tires on overweight trailers. Constantly shredding tires (other motorists do take note). 

Shop has very low to no supplies and UNDERPAID mechanics. Compliance and (truck) operating issues.

Very long wait times to dump trailers. Other drivers sleep in front or on the scale.

Other employees try to sabatoge others so they can make money as you are PAID PER LOAD. (Looks good on paper, too many factors in real everyday operations)

Not constant work.  Try to force you to work when there's none to do or force the scale house to open.

Will tell you to run even when their equipment is not in compliance to keep you driving despite DOT being ready and waiting for equipment this poor. 

You CAN do way better than this drivers and mechanics!! Don't risk your credibility for those who don't have any!! 

Work here if you want to waste your time. Equipment consistently breaks down, and you’re mostly paid by the load, you get 20 an hour for break down pay, but if you want a decent check, you have to hit load bonus, which means on average about 13 hour shifts of nothing going wrong, which doesn’t happen often, if it’s not the equipment, it’s the loaders at transfer centers, or the tippers. 
They play favorites, they know which trucks are good & bad, and it doesn’t matter if you put in the hours, if they don’t like you, you’re gonna get a bad truck . 
Constantly having landfill/trash/fecal matter dirt blown on you, you go to blow your nose and it looks like you’re wiping off a face full of brown make up . 
Management doesn’t care about anything other than pushing drivers for loads, even if that means running them 16 hours (i had 2 days in 3 months) 
There’s a reason they’re literally always hiring… if you’re a day 1 rookie, this place will get you hurt, if you have experience, you understand that pretty much anything is better than this .

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing good about working there. Go to companies that have automated trailer tarps, Endurance requires you to crawl/walk atop trash to secure tarps

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of information, it’s already a tough job but they made it worse when they wouldn’t tell you details like where you are going and how much the load paid. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nonexistent, from managers down it’s how much work can you do for free between loads

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Up and at it at 2 am just to make it a decent day.  3-4 loads of trash being hauled to the Elk River dump. Other loads include recycling and construction debris. You pray for recycling loads they are the cleanest and safest. Recycling debris is dangerous to walk across but are required to do so to pull tarps over the load and trash just sucks walking through to pull tarps

When I first started I loved what I did. I love coming to work just fixing everything I could even wit the little experience I had. My day consisted of completing work orders. As of recent management has made it extremely hard to even have a basic life. As a mechanic we work 6 days a week and even will be required to come in on Sunday if work orders aren’t done. Most work days are from 2pm- 2 am but want to limit you to 50 hours.  Don’t expect a raise after a year. There only offer $0.44 . There no balance between work and life. When you ask upper management for a hand they say there not there to babysit. Recently ran out our service manager who been there for 9 years. This company has multiple sites across and been closing. Job security is something I’d be concerned with. Upper management is only concerned with themselves and not employees. A

This company sucks. They don’t care about anything else other than hauling trash. You get paid by the load and not by the hour. It can take up to 12 hours to do 3 loads because of all the drivers they have. This company has a revolving door policy so they don’t care about drivers because they are always hiring. The equipment is the worst so you’re going to always have a broken trailer and you don’t get paid down time when the equipment breaks. All and all I would advise to stay away unless you want to be looked at like the trash you will be hauling. Oh and for you to make $1400 to $1600 a week you have to work nearly 16 hours a day so do the math, minimum wage driving position is what this is.

Well the trucks and trailers we ran were breaking down every single day . I was there for only 3 months and i switched trucks about 3-4 times . I blew tires on the trailers it seemed like almost everyday & the tarps & poles were always damaged making it hard to roll and unroll some of them . Very dirty job , you're hauling trash from transfer station to landfill . Sometimes we wouldn't have a lot of trash or the line at the landfill was long so we lost out on some money . Despite the terrible equipment & the way they ran the shop I somehow managed to make the most money I've ever made driving a truck . Usually would work about 12ish hours a day . I personally never had any issues with other drivers or management since I wasn't there long .

What is the best part of working at the company?
There really isn’t a best part. There is no work life balance.  The company is losing accounts across the board. It also has difficulty paying and or reimbursing employees in a reasonable amount of time due to its financial condition. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Work life balance. No respect for employees time away from work. The company is losing accounts across the board. It also has difficulty paying and or reimbursing employees in a reasonable amount of time due to its financial condition. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone has their own agenda all the way to the top. No real true leadership. Extreme micromanagement and toxic leadership.

Been working here for a month or so now and it truly is a job you will succeed at if you have a decent work ethic. Hardest part of the job is flipping the screens to tip and cover your load while transporting it from the transfer stations. If you can get past the weather, the muscle sores of the first week, and the bad equipment that you sometimes land in... you’ll prosper and can make some serious cash. Pay is by the load which kind of makes this a commission position, but the sign on bonus helps out a lot of you are dedicated to earning your keep. Won’t be paid for the first two weeks so keep that in mind too!

Been working with the company since November.  Been lied to numerous times regarding pay, benefits,  and numerous other things (too many to count honestly). Paycheck is often short because our payroll department pays what I want to pay and doesn't give an excuse regarding the pay that they short you. I paid for benefits for over a month without having access to them. Tried calling the insurance company only to be told "never heard of you". Management does what they can in office but their hands are tied by corporate. All in all this has been the worst job I have ever worked in transportation. 

The equipment used is broken and held together by string.  Your job tasks become harder each day when a working truck is taken away to be used on the road and you are left with a relic with no working air, wipers, windows or components.  You are 100% in the elements,  with no shelter and constant pests at a trash collection facility. And most days the job does not end until around 11pm for the closer shift which starts at 11am. Better ways to make a buck. If you working 1st shift, which starts  between 5-8am you have to stay until close if your relief does not show, Mandatory .
