Gulf Relay, LLC

Hired on as a driver taking a pay CUT to drive during the day and not at night. The recruiter lied through his teeth. He told me I'd get a Cascadia, new, I got another truck, old. He told me all trucks have APU's. My truck did not. They recently hired this new guy as COO who thinks this company is butterflies and unicorns and it's not. He lies when he doesn't want to hear what you have to say, and then upper management says that you are a "sore spot" in the driver community if you complain about terrible mileage, terrible routes, terrible pay, etc. They FINALLY got pay up to near where other driving companies are. They still pay 45cpm for non forced dispatch and they wonder why they lose drivers as fast as they can recruit them. I think some people here really want to do a good job, but the upper management speaks down on drivers so often they're good at it. If you choose to work here, be ready to be treated as a truck number and stick up for yourself. NO, they won't like it, but they'll learn to live with it. If you let them push you around, they will. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Can’t think of none honestly, they really have no care about a driver having a life, they honestly don’t give raises especially being local they want you to operate as a robot, care nothing about family 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not getting enough hrs, not knowing your schedule every day for work 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, very high driver turnover rate, they cared very little for local drivers 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You honestly don’t know being local, some days they wanted u up at 230am to start driving some days later, some days consider only 3-4hrs of work somedays they’ll wait until 4pm to give you the run to go get a load, some days if u had no empty trailer either you run around looking for one or they make u clock out

Company is in a restructuring phase and looking to add more to the Gulf Relay family. They’re picky on who will work there as everyone will work together as one team so anyone hired must be a team player which is one thing I love about it. Management is always there to help build you up because they know and understand that in order for any company to grow there has to be leadership and to be in that position you must lead by example which they do daily. I’m very thankful to have been selected to work here and look forward to many more years with them as were growing fast!! If you have dispatch, planning or CSR experience then I highly recommend applying!

Pros: Great work life balance, great team members to work with every day!

Cons: Insurance and pay. Seeing that the company is on the right track and growing FAST I can see pay and benefits moving to the Pros list.

Hired to the Coppell location in early 2019 as an analyst. Management is extremely friendly and supportive -- you will get one-on-one time with everyone up to the president of the company. I've seen the numbers: this company is seriously growing and off to a great start. I can't speak for the HQ environment in MS, but the DFW location where we intend to do our growth is a great place invest in your future.

Office personnel here, not a driver. The TX office at Gulf does an excellent job making each individual feel welcome and appreciated while maintaining that 'excitement' that accompanies a rapidly growing company. You will have genuine conversations with the C suite on a regular basis, and the whole team will know your name. It IS a mid-sized company, so pare your benefits expectations appropriately, but this has been and I expect will continue an excellent experience for the team involved.

Good people, good equipment. That said, I started with strong good miles then trips got shorter and shorter. Last month there I ran many runs under 250 miles each and some under 200 per trip. Many multidrop loads. Started out averaging 2700 miles per week ended averaging 1500-1800 miles per week. Biggest problem is planners run the show there.
