Frontier Transport Corp.

I was an employee of Frontier and I have never worked for a more controlling, unethical, and more intimidating place in the many years ive worked in trucking. The managment is horrible and never do anything to fix anything and they let people go under false accusations and false assumptions. I wouldnt reccommend this place to anyone. It is very unorganized and they treat people with disrespect and expect them to go above and beyond expectations without gaining any respect from managers or supervisors. You dont demand respect, you earn it from your superiors and they show favortism towards certain employees and the rest of us are nothing. This place will suck the joy out of you and make you miserable. This place is HORRIBLE and the MANAGMENT is too!!!

Trucks are old and worn out, most have about 700,000 miles on them. Good luck getting your truck fixed if something breaks. You can write it up and complain for weeks before anything gets done. The insurance benefits aren't good at all just cheap insurance to say they offer insurance benefits.  They say you will be on a dedicated route but end up running all over the place. They are owned by online transport. Both online and frontier have an extremely high turn over rate, so that should tell you something. Save yourself some time and headaches work somewhere else.

The crew I work with is Great, The company itself needs much improvement.  A typical day at work is from  6 a.m  - 6 p.m. We build 90 lbs boxes, Operate forklifts, Drive freight Trucks, Operate a machine to pump Soda Ash and wash Tank trailers. Management is good for the most part, very respectful and understanding. The hardest part of the job would have to be building boxes with pallets at an extremely fast pace. The most enjoyable part of the job is Pumping Soda Ash.

I was one of two dispatchers in charge of the day to day operations and scheduling of 70 trucks. We received all customer orders through Outlook, answering over 200 daily emails and high phone traffic. Then we assigned truck and trailers according to driver avalibility and route efficency.

If you are already working there stick it out until you find the perfect fit, if you are a good driver you’ll do ok but pay is on the low side. This place would be a great place to be if they cared about their drivers but they don’t. You have to watch everything concerning your self like a hawk and they will try over and over again to not put detention, layover, breakdown etc. on your check and if you say nothing it’s a win for them so watch everything at that place. 

good place to get started. However, you will start to see how disorganized management is after 3 or 4 months. Medical benefits are paid for the employee but you pay out of pocket for the fam. Its good. Feels like management gets away with alot. Some drivers get away with a lot too. Definitely have favorites. Over all good place for experience. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Steady work and home every night. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some great drivers and some not so great. Managers that say one thing and do another. A couple of really good managers. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drive for about 10 hours a day m-f and off on the weekends. Make great money for the hours.

I have worked with this company for around 1 year.  I started with this company straight out of cdl school.  They have given me a great opportunity to get my foot in the door of driving.  They have been a good company overall.  They have a bit of out dated equipment in need of repair.  They are extremely family oriented.  They treat you like family, not a number.  Not a bad company over all.

The company as a whole is amazing. I'm a class A driver and they keep me moving. Drivers here make .60¢ per mile and you will average about 2,000-2,600 a week. Dispatch is amazing and they are very understanding if any problems arise, they also make it a point to have you home every Friday "you are allowed to stay out as long as you want". This is the best career/job that a driver with 6+ months of experience could ask for.

Team driving through the Yukon and Canada to Alaska was a terrific experience. I look forward to doing it again. The wildlife and scenery is amazing. The Northbound portion delivered Walmart produce to Alaskan cities. The Southbound role was to pick up fresh fish from various AK locations and return to WA. The job length was based on the AK fishing season. I would like to do this again.
