Freight Breakers

A typical day at work: For outbound You’re expected to load boxes from cages onto trailers via a roller or you’re the person that scans each passing box or the person that manually loads up the trailer from the end of the roller. For Inbound you’re expected to unload boxes from trailers onto a roller while the ones with scanners has to both scan and load boxes onto each cage. You’re expected to load/unload your first trailer within 90 minutes of the start of your shift with your team. Expect to receive bruises on your arms for your first weeks and having to hydrate constantly, only clear bottles containing water is allowed and expect to be frisked by security once you enter their area each and every time. You’ll be expected to walk around a lot in steel toe shoes as well. The hardest part of the job: Being expected to complete 4-5 trailers per day along with the high possibility of having to stay until 7 in the morning continuing to load/unload a trailer requested by management which is practically a daily thing and you may get told to work another day which is mandatory.

The company (Hubble) that subcontracted us to unload and palletize their products started out alright. Ended up being very hypocritical however; would say trucks weren't getting unloaded fast enough, but their fork lift drivers, at times, were very slow at moving your finished pallets so that you would have room to keep placing more finished pallets. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Your coworkers and being in a truck

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They dont know what they are doing, you never know if your going to get paid correctly. As a supervisor I was always stressed about the employees because they hated it due to never being paid correctly.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast pace, another of different characters 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Management micro managing everything the supervisors do, it was like we were just laborers. Glorified leads is what supervisors are without any authority! They tell you to do things that make no sense and waste company money.

A typical day at work is walking in, not knowing whether you have work or not, if you don’t, you’ll be sent home even if you’ve driven half an hour to commute. For 10 hours the pay is horrendous. It’s about 22 cents per box in a trailer and typically you’d have 4-6 people in a team working on a trailer. And the payout is split among everyone. The thing is everyone is slow. No one has work ethic. You’re lucky if you even manage to finish 3 trailers in a shift. That’s about 100 dollars per day. Not what they tell you but that’s why I’m here. The job isn’t hard it self. a little physically demanding but you get used to it. There’s a reason why you see people come and go.

Cooked meals and some work days out

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not understanding at times health takes over work. Not being provided training you’ve already got and the opportunities get passed along to many others.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
50/50 sometimes it’s alright as surpasses expectations others you think is it worth my time but keep moving forward.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You never know until the morning what to expect sometimes it’s a long day and others you’re really busy to the point you don’t have a minute to yourself.

Worst job I ever had since I started my paychecks are always bad I work 40 hours a week .they pay me for 26 hours . Every week I have to complain about my paycheck . This is not professional.  They over work all the employees. Supervisors are all unapproachable can’t even ask them a question always have a bad attitude. If  you don’t mind getting ripped off on your paycheck or being overworked than this is the job for you . They give you no good training expect you to Khoi everything on your own . I hope this helps anyone thinking of applying at this freight breakers in Frackville pa.

Management is a nightmare, they don’t know what they’re doing half the time, and as a result you never know what time break is. Hours are inconsistent, you might show up just to be sent home, or you may end up working the whole night plus an extra hour. The pay is ok but it depends on having a solid team, and a willingness to destroy your body plus high pain tolerance. Expect to earn ~ 16-20$ an hour if you actually have work. 

Was a decent job before they introduced new rules slowing the pace and potential of earnings. As it stands I’d avoid this job, though I’ve heard other locations had it better than us.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The workers there are great to work with. The assignments change so it does not get boring and I learned a lot a new skills.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It is a physically demanding job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is is team work oriented and everyone tries hard to get the job done.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day consists of loading or unloading merchandise from trucks, may include order picking and some assembly line work.

I was told I could make $800-$1000 but only after I adjusted to the physical work. They paid me well during my training week and then sure enough I made $800 after that. Hard work but worth it. I’ve been there for a few months now. I’ve made more than $1000 frequently. Only issue is that most people who come in talk a big game but can’t even finish their first truck regardless that they had a veteran helping train them. Everyone is looking for easy movie. This place only rewards those who want to work hard. 

Throughout both the interview and onboarding processes, I found communication to be lacking. There was no clear point of contact available to answer questions, and inquiries regarding the pay rate were not adequately addressed.
Additionally, phone calls were not returned, and communication was conducted almost exclusively through text messages. The lack of direct communication and transparency made the process difficult and, in my experience, did not reflect a high level of professionalism.
