Worked here for quite a while. Spent a good portion of it with some very down to earth people who were as eager and ready for hard work as me. The management was a different story, safety manager there lacks communication and is the rudest most uneducated person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Lacks the common knowledge needed for his position and lacks the basic understanding of the very machines he is supposed to be managing over. This place is a joke low pay and dont get hurt here as they will fire even if it happened because of them. One guy who worked here all of 25 to 30 years because he was having surgery on torn rotator cuff was fired because medical told him to stay home for few weeks. After 2t years they would not help him pay for it even though.it happended during work time 
 

Typical day of work may start anywhere between 2:30 AM - 7:30 AM depending on what route you have scheduled. Some days may be shorter than others and some may require an overnight stay. Management is great and will back you when needed. This shows their support of you and respect for what you do daily behind the wheel of a tractor trailer. Many of the co-workers are mill workers, but can be a gaggle of laughs once you get to know them. The hardest part of the job is the different variations of start times. This throws off your sleep time. But the most enjoyable is once you leave the yard, you control your duties in getting the job completed safely in on time.

I start off my day with preparing a list of customers, what they use on a regular basis and with what products they use most often, I also check stock availability and I put together Specials on products that we need too move. I'm a team player and a go getter, I work well with others and also on my own. I've worked with  many others over the years. The hardest part of my job is having inventory on a regular basis.....key items. My most enjoyable part of my day is the customer's satisfaction.....when I can offer an alternative product and it works as good if not better than the product they were using and the fact that I just saved them money.

This is the first truck driving position I've ever had that is a salary position.  Pay days are 1st and 15th of each month.  I asked in the interview how many hours the average driver works per week? Was told 50 hours.  Currently working 60 plus.  Salary would not be too bad if you only worked 50 hours per week.  Been told in November and December it'll slow down to 30 hours a week, but I haven't experienced that time of the year yet. Weekends off is nice.  Home every night is great too. If you work a 12 to 14 hour day they usually give you a shorter run the day after. People are very friendly there.

Great people. Upper management sucks bad. Every day I did my tasks and someone would change them in the office to help the lazy management.. so it either looked as if I were going way too fast or not doing the proper jobs and wasting time when I was going off if the order of operations given to me... I was "always doing wrong" but never behind? Yeah. Makes no sense. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with customers and the co-workers. Fun.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing was stressful. I learned the tasks.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was a fun working environment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was very focused and wanted to do the best I could.

I usually get to the  point of needing to do something else in about 3 months.  This place has not done that. If you do your job to the best of your abilities, it is rewarded. I intend to stay here for a long while. The operations manager is AWESOME to work with. Can't and won't complain about my job here. Could pay more, but like in life you have to earn it.

Awesome people, great ppl to talk to and made a few lifelong friends.. but the job itself, favoritism, laziness and no real goal but to start over the same way the next day with all the same mismanagement and machinery breaking.

Good place , great people.  Some days are long depending on where you're going. But a typical day is you're already loaded the previous night and you just go about your route til it's done. I really liked my manager, I was to leave but I stay in contact .

This was a very good job with great advancement options.
I was promoted three times in the first year.Long hours and hard work,but great pay and benefits.
