Gabrielli Truck Sales

Cons: Poor management drives people away and makes them not want to stay, you will not learn as much as you think you will, they give most of the electrical work to one or two guys, all the engine work to another, and so on, certain people are not held accountable for their actions, the Hicksville shop is brand new but the equipment is garbage. The transmission jacks are all damaged, there is only 1 coolant extractor for the whole shop, laptops are always hard to come by or aren't working properly, not enough communication devices, the parts department is full of lazy kids, the list goes on. Pros: my foreman was excellent and most of the technicians are very knowledgeable. If you are skilled and have experience coming in you will be pretty well set, if you are young with some experience, aren't a slob or lazy, you will learn, it will just take time. So if you are willing to start low this will not be a terrible place for you, there is room for advancement but it will take a while. This is my honest review and i'm sure every Gabrielli shop is run a little different.

Working in the trucking industry essentially means you don't have to worry about job security.  There are rough patches of any job and industry but even through pandemics trucks are still on the road getting the job done.  A truck dealership is no different: selling, servicing, leasing, renting.  It doesn't matter there are jobs to be done.  Gabrielli is a growing company with its original owners still running it.  The only downside that could be possible to this company is if it isn't for you.  Like the title says it is a blue collar job, you get out of it what you put into it.  I put long hours and hard work into my job and get rewarded by steady pay and advancement opportunities.  I have gotten passed over multiple times in prior jobs for promotions, this job gave me an opportunity which I seized and continue to build on.  I've watched multiple other people get the same kind of treatment.

I worked for Gabrielli leasing and rental for about 6 months. I worked as a full time welder/fabricator, in that time my skillset had developed dramatically and I got a load of very valuable welding experience as someone new to the industry. Besides a few certain individuals, work culture was very good, respectful, constructive and safe. When the work was plentiful, us techs and fabricators worked very well with management and everything went smoothly. I worked as part of a new fabricating department, so work was here and there and ot came and went. My only real gripe with my time there is that i had a feeling all the time that if i had stayed for longer, the chances of me being promoted or being picked over others for special work was very low because of POTENTIAL conflicting interests. It wouldve been nice to know many members of management and techs were related in some way or another. None the less, I would recommend any diesel tech to apply and check out the shop for themselves. 

No days were typically the same working at Gabrielli Truck sales of Medford. They always have steady work and was always busy during the day. Its a large shop and can fit up to at least 20 to 30 tractors depending on the specs of the truck. I could be doing anything from major engine component replace to the regular PM work. They have great opportunities to expand your knowledge with online training for KW, Ford, Cummins, Mack/Volvo, and Hino. Once completed they send you to hands on courses completely paid for by the company. Management and co-workers were all great to work with and are the best in the business. Everyday is an opportunity to learn something new there from all the product they work on and steady work. Its nice not constantly doing the same type of work everyday which keeps it fresh.

You'll spend more time going over processes and paperwork then wrenching. The OEM support is virtually nonexistent. Work takes weeks to get approved and therefore cycles of putting out fires happen consistently, IE, hot trucks coming in that just place roadblocks to getting work in and done in a timely fashion. You'll be neck deep into a diag that may be time sensitive and your pulled off to go work on a truck that just came in that will be a absolute garbage pile. Techs come and go quickly and its almost always understaffed so you'll be under the gun 90% of the time, especially the last week of every month.

They love to tell you all the "exciting things" they have planned, little actually happens. Heaven forbid you need a stapler, a roll of tape, pens or basic office supplies. Most shop equipment is older and semi functional. Not enough computers in the shop, always waiting for someone to finish using one and have to keep an eye out for it or someone else may grab it first, they they want to know why something is not finished yet.

Not a good place to go management sucks . Don't care about mechanic. Mechanic have no saying in nothing the only setting different rules every day and mechanic cannot raise a question about it .mechanic go to this job just because of a pay check  the management  cause this the put the own ppl in charge and make rule he thinks is right and you always have to say yes. Not a healthy working environment
