HERMANN TRANSPORTATION

If you are a driver stay away from this place. This is by far the worst trucking company I've ever worked for. Local driver managers could never seem to get correct pickup or delivery information to its drivers, very rarely did I ever go a day and not have a issue with information being sent to me. The driver managers would want you to pull loads with no bills of lading, and seemed completely ignorant of DOT rules and regulations.  On boarding and training at the company was severely lacking especially for any driver that's never done port work before. The safety department seemed ignorant of the DOT rules and regulations, and on numerous occasions I had to correct them. They especially loved to not follow Health and Wellness sections of the driver requirements. Texas allows a 8hr off duty time and then drivers reset their clock, they would literally plan us for 8 hrs off, from the time we clocked off the truck to the time we had to be back at the truck was 8hrs. Some of the drivers here were driving 30min too 1hr one way commuting. And if a driver spoke up and said it was not enough time for rest, they were typically threatened with a write up or conveniently there would be no loads for them to run. From a professional standard this company is a absolute no go, however many of the management personnel and office staff I got to meet or deal with over the phone were very nice, and I'd probably have a cold one and a good conversation with them, but I could never work for them again.  

Stay away from here do not work here. They put up a front as if they are a good safe and reliable company, They are not sometimes you’re risking going over hours and if you go over hours, they act like you have some kind of button that you can press to give you extra hours instead they tell you to turn your MDT off and drive back home weeks later you’re getting reprimanded for going over hours when they’re the ones that instruct you to do certain things that are wrong. The communication is terrible. They expect you to know everything as a new driver on certain accounts you make money from the amount of overtime you accumulated not from miles. They have you transporting hazardous material without proper labeling as far as on the truck so you don’t ever know what you’re transporting until you get to a particular company And they are telling you you have to go to the other side because that’s what side deals with the chemical and hazardous material so when you supposed to get hazardous material pay, because you don’t know what your transport. They are shady don’t fall for the good cop bad cop between the different managers. I don’t know how to explain this, but those trucks are way too safe, especially for the type of work. You’re trying to accomplish in one day. 

I have worked here at Hermann Transportation for over 2 years and have found all of that time to be well spent.  As a driver I value the steady work and more than competitive paycheck.  Newer to new tractors that are comfortable and something I like, all automatic. I have found nothing but a supportive and motivated management staff that listen to my concerns and I have seen my suggestions put to work, which is something I have never experienced in 20 years of trucking until I came here.   They are a very charitable company supporting causes from pediatric cancer,and M.S., all the way to storm relief for the victims of catastrophic weather.  Being family owned means a lot to me as well.  You are not another number here and your efforts are not only recognized but rewarded. I've received raises each year and have seen big improvements in the benefits package.  I would recommend this place to any driver or support staff.

Pick up and deliver general freight. The management always micromanaged and were always quick to find something you were doing wrong. They have driver facing cams. The pay was very low compared to other companies and the health benefits were expensive with copays etc. Their 401k match was also lousy at 35%. The only positive was the steady work and they had new tractors, but they hardly maintained them unless there was a breakdown.  Glad I found a better job with an LTL company.
