Manager at Allenstown Location doesn't have a clue what he's doing.Talks to you like a child, Thinks he's better then you. He also expects you to be there by 7am even though he doesn't show up on time and you stand around for an hour or more waiting to get your Manifest to even start sorting your route. When I say sort it I mean pick through 100's of boxes to find each stop. They expect you to make 30-50 deliveries a day door to door with loads of cases of paper. You jump in and out of the 16' box truck all day cause most don't have lift gates. The dock's to load your truck ramps don't work 99% of the time (2 of 3 don't work at all) and The only one that works is because me and another driver fixed it ourselves so we didn't have to hand load 100's of boxes every morning after sorting through them. You're lucky to get out of the warehouse by 9am to even start your route.(most times biggest route driver doesn't leave until 10-11am and then has to stay out until 5-7pm after getting in to the warehouse at the required time of 7am. On top of it all the manger is so bad people quit every other day and he makes the remaining drivers take stops for those peoples routes. He run you in to the ground. He's such a messed up manager a guy had a heart attack his frame of mind was oh I wonder if he'll be in on Monday? With better management it could be a good company to work for. Unfortunately he doesn't have what it takes. Just beware if you decide to take a job there. The assistant manger on the other hand is a good guy, Most other drivers and sorters are good people, who just want to do their jobs and go home but its a nightmare to work under such unprofessional higher ups.

Management:

Lazy demanding rude unrealistic and overdramatic. 

They fume at you roll eyes huff puff over petty things like if they have to use the copy machine or take 1 minute to do anything for you

They got nothing better to do than stress out workers and think somehow that's them doing their job well

You make one tiny mistake and they pounce all over you like you are all around useless

They don't listen gossip and start swearing to each other at you before hanging up the phone

They call you and nag you A LOT while your driving but in the office it says using cell phones while your driving is against the law

Negatives:

They change around hours sometimes too low sometimes too high and expect you to always be available at all times

They have you cover shifts for much less hours and give your usual shift with more hours to someone else

They tried to have me toss my Thanksgiving meal with family to do a 45 minute delivery

They wake you 2-3am for half an hour deliveries

Paychecks come around noon on Thursdays they fuss if you ask and they have to flip through them to give it to you

Co-workers can politick for brownie points and micromanage you out of spite to get you scolded for a messy car (piece of paper on floor in the car)

Etc


You start off early morning 5-7 AM depending on your route. Make sure the counts are right for each stop. Then load them into the company van. The workers on the load lines are very nice, and helpful. Vehicles are all dangerous with hardly functioning breaks, cracked mirrors, broken radios, torn seats, engine issues, malfunctioning window washers, bare tires. But if fearing for your life is not a concern, you can still get to each destination. Just keep in mind if you take too long, you will be questioned, possibly have your time cut. The people at each stop are the highlight. Everyone from the preset stops, to extra random stops, you are always welcomed. Just remember, don't chat, or take your time. Time is money. Their money. 

Everything else outside of the warehouse is the best part of the job. Independent, meeting your daily customers, making friends.Worst part is returning to find out your hours are being cut again. Or completely changing without warning. You can start at 30 hours and be dropped to 20 in the same week.

Two things I learned is do not accept weekend work, and DO NOT work for Granite State Shuttle Service.

The turnover rate at GSSS is abysmal.  Approxamately 80% of new hires quit within 90 days.  The benefits are nearly non-existent with only 5 paid holidays for full time workers and none for part time.  They offer 1 week paid vacation for full time employees.  Some of the older workers have not received a raise in over 10 years.  The fleet of vehicles are not maintained so it is not unusual to drive a vehicle with cracks in the windshield, no AC, worn tires, etc.

 I have been with the company for 8 months and have seen multiple managers quit.  In addition the company has lost numerous contracts since I have been employed there.  I would not recommend working there to anyone.

I worked out of t contract office, The super was rarely present as he works out of a different office. Cars are in rough shape, even though the owner owns a car dealership. Hardest part of the job is the winter hours. Ur required to show up at a specific time but most of the time your are not paid from that time, your paid for when u load your delivery and go out on the road. the Delivery drivers out of dover are not paid till u leave for the drive.What i hear u have to work your butt off for any advancement, and its hard to balance your life around this. Oh and if your sick make sure u get a doctors note if u work here or you can be constantly reminded about if you called out.

I have worked for GSSS for over 3 years now and yes the job can get stressful but any courier service is like that. In the past 3 years we have had a turn over in management and are working towards bettering the hubs. We have leased new Ryder vans and box trucks and are working toward replacing old vehicles with newer vehicles(the market is horrible for buying right now so it’s slow going, this will get better) I have been supported in everything I do and learned a lot from this company. While there is still a lot that needs improvement, as all companies do, as time allows these improvements will be made. I love what I do and who I work with. Every day is a new day and a different challenge.

this company is the worst to work for. the manger and assistant manager sit in the office doing nothing making fun of people while the employees work there butt off with no help. do not waste your time we had 4 sorters quit cause they could not take it any more. there is no way to move up in the company as a driver been in the same position for years no way for advancement if you they dont like you they single you out and then talk bad about you afterwards they just fired a sorter for throwing boxes but every on has done it but that sorter was single out they have people starting at more money but can’t give raise to the people that been there for years

Granite State Shuttle Service has a large variety of opportunity. The management team in the Dover, NH office is very supportive and encouraging on a daily basis. Management thoroughly explain what is expected on employees from the first day of employment. Each day I have a set list of tasks that are to be completed by end of day to prepare for the end of week / end of month billing and payroll. The dress code at GSSS is business casual as it is a professional office environment. Employees at the Dover, NH office are very upbeat, kind and polite.  Granite State Shuttle Service is a wonderful place to work with opportunity for growth.

I was a delivery driver, and the vehicles are in poor shape, sometimes even unsafe to drive. A typical day was pretty laid back and for the most part it is an enjoyable job. As far as management goes, they want you to break the law and when you refuse to do so they take away your hours and treat you like an outcast. My co workers were a great bunch of people with good hearts and fun to work with. I would like to specify when i say management wants you to break the law i mean upper management. The hardest part of the job was dealing with traffic. The most enjoyable part of the job was being on the road.

Unless you you don't have much ambition or drive to excel. You're better off, looking elsewhere for work. The management when I was there, didn't communicate with the drivers, especially the overnight shift. Pushing blame to someone else or not taking responsibility for their actions. However, the lower management (foremans), were good people. They knew more than the supervisors, and/or managers. Overtime was discouraged. You might get some, unfortunately, sooner or later it would be taken from you. I realize this review sounds bad, and I'm sorry. Just being honest. The management wasn't good
