Fred-Weber-Inc

Fred Weber Inc. was a good place to work. It was hard work at times in all weather conditions and sometimes physical but for the most part I operated a haul truck moving sand, overburden, and waste material each day. If I wasn't operating a haul truck I was testing sand for quality, turbidity and moisture content (Quality Control). Occasionally I would sweep driveway using a skid steer as well. Everything was new to me in this line of work so it was a great experience learning to operate heavy equipment and how mining works. Management was easy to work for giving me opportunities to try new things and being open to communicate with. The hardest part of my job was my fear of heights and some of the locations we worked in but I managed to overcome them. Most enjoyable part of my job would be the comradery I shared with my co-workers. It made the day of monotony go a little faster.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Fair pay per hour on this job at Chimney hollow

Management is out of touch and over their head at this site. Only caring about production not anything else as they just finish out the final year to completion.

Very poor culture and treatment by individual in charge. Shows favoritism to individuals at plant and his group of guys while mistreatment of others.

Long, long days of 12 to 14 hours doing 6 or 7 days a week in the summer. Only want to get production while sacrifice safety or concerns of any employee who speaks up.

Working for Fred Weber/ RCP loading and off load barges into truck to transfer to rail cars or trucked to customers. The job it’s self wasn’t bad if the turnover rate wasn’t 8 to 10 employees in my past 5 months of working here a bankruptcy coal mining had a better maintenance up keep than here all corporate cares about is how cheap they can get to job done and the last amount of man power to the point it’s unsafe to work on the docks at night with only 3 employees here to run 2 docks and off load trucks because corporate believes that just because they don’t ship enough tons it doesn’t justify to have forth employee here full time on night

Fixing equipment that breaks keeping crushing plant clear and ensuring everything is greased to include normal operation of equipment and stockpiling associated with a rock.  I learned I probably don't want to work at another quarry.  Fred Weber as whole by reviews I have read and some workers from elsewhere I have talked to is overall a great company.  I was not impressed with the local management though for a few reasons I will not elaborate on. Co-workers....Fixing everything that seemed to break almost daily. I was happy to be outdoors working.

Typical day was receiving trucks, distrubiting the tools & equipment to who ordered them, restocking shelves with new tools & supplies. Most of the Management was great to work with the co-workers were very nice & easy to get along with. The hardest part of the job was the extreme weather conditions. (heat & cold) The most enjoyable part of the job was the variety of people I got to know.

Great when you are working, may be beat tired but I am able to provide comfortably for my family. Work is very unstable, may work for a few weeks and bring a decent pay home but I never know how long I’m guaranteed to work it changes daily sometimes. Sometimes I don’t know if I’m working, where I am working and when I’m working (shift-days or nights). It is difficult to plan time with family, friends and for events.

fast pace environment,good opportunity for advancement.i learn all aspects of mining and underground mining.company is great on safety regulations.the hardest part was rain extreme cold weather,prolong periods of time away from family and home.most enjoyable part of the job was learning new mechanical skills,friendships with other employes.

Enjoyed most people I worked around everyday loved the work, job itself a lot of favoritism going not the place to be if your not related to someone! Usully your job was to do what the bosses son or some other relative didn't want to do the job wasn't about how much experience you had or how quallified you were but who you know!

I thought working at trap rock was awesome at first driving a haul truck not alot of people can say they did that but after a while it sucked I would rather be getting my hands dirty working as a mechanic for the trucks or setting charges for explosives I'm not a lazy kind of person I'm more hands on get the job done in my time frame for monthly bonuses etc.
