Hackbarth Delivery Service

My team came in and helped hackbarth start their San Antonio operations without our crew their entire hub would have gone down because we contain most of the routes that nobody wanted to take and that they could never get filled. My team operated with almost zero complaints and I slowly cut down my operation in size to make it easier to manage. Their management of the first manager who is originally terminated was a liar and outright fraud who made promises that were never kept and then doctored paperwork in pay to make himself look good until he was finally caught. Their second manager they brought in in the current manager has no ethics or morals at all does not care about people or employees has no respect for personal boundaries or any type of ethical treatment of people. They violate and break their own contracts at will and will fine drivers and their Master contractors for anything they see fit they lie about pay scale telling you you're going to make a certain amount per day but in the underlining  states that you will only get this if you have every single delivery on that contract when they already know that half the stops they're showing you don't exist cuz they're old customers who are not active. As a master contractor I had to repeatedly ask for the breakdown and pay of each of my routes after every payday. Because they do not automatically give you this in fact there are several weeks I never received it at all and had no way of proving if I was ever paid correctly I was promised contracts again and again only to be turned down so the manager could bring in their friend who had multiple trucks who originally now has taken over the entire hub.I've been in this industry for over 15 years and I've never worked for a more despicable lying company in my life avoid this company at all cost in the San Antonio and Austin area everything they promised is a lie and when they get tired of you or find someone that will do it cheaper they will not even give you a chance to underbid them they will just tell you sorry your contracts have been eliminated and send you on your way with no pay and nothing but your tail between your legs PS they knew that most of my employees we're all prior military and at times we talked against this as much as possible they promised contracts that they have not gotten stating that it will start next week and next month still nothing to be seen again I repeat do not work for this company they are the worst company in this industry that I have ever encountered.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Depending on your route, you may make friends with some people you'd otherwise wouldn't have. Most of the customers are kind and understanding and are open to communication. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Time schedule. There have been times when the loading process has been delayed for hours because the trucks have not yet arrived for some reasons or another. When they are late, the customers tend to get upset if not informed of the delays. The main reason is because most of our customers are hospitals and pharmacies who rely on getting their deliveries in a timely manner.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's a work rest cycle at the whim of the delivery and loading trucks each morning. It can be relaxing or stressful due to how fast or slow they arrived. Your experience with fellow employees may vary. Most of them are hard workers and respectful, but there are some who are not so much. Overall, they get a long well. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up early or on time, park my van within my loading area, wait for trucks to arrive, sort and scan the off-loaded cargo into their respectful locations, collect loading list from the foreman, double check for any discrepancy according to assigned list, and leave for deliveries. That's the first 45mins-2 hours without delay. I would drive up to 2 hours to the first stop and begin my deliveries while scanning and having the customer sign for them. I would collect the empty totes from the previous day. 

By the time I'm done, I would drive back and offload the empty totes at the warehouse, turn in all the signed forms confirming my deliveries, as well as log off on the business app before heading home. For my route, it was a work set from 4am to noon at earliest, and 4am to 4pm at latest.

There was nothing great about this company. I worked 6 days/90 hours a week, often doing managerial work. (I was not the manager). It was constantly understaffed and if they did hire anyone it was more people that were friends of those already working there (therefore they all had the same poor attitudes). Thus creating a clique if you will that created a huge amount of hearsay problems. Once they all get their stories to match they consistently contact HR or anyone at corporate to push out anyone that was not accepted in their clique. Corporate never does a thorough investigation and will fire you on the spot. Discrimation at its finest. High turnover rate due to the childish drama brought to the company by those individuals. Managers that come and do not give in to the ICs get fired or leave willingly due to the drama the ICs cause. No room for advancement and if you start to make decent money corporate does their annual cuts to your pay. No benefits. Pay certain individuals free money even when they don't do their jobs such as actually servicing the post offices each day. The ICs falsely write someone else's name to get paid and corporate never does routine auditing to make sure the job is done correctly. Horrible management. A previous manager they inevitably demoted made it his mission to get the company to get rid of me simply because I wouldn't date him. They allowed him to keep his manager office keys and he would access the payroll to tell ICs others private information. 

If I were you I would not work for this company. The pay is $50 a day. The management is very unprofessional even in how they speak to you and others. There’s partiality there’s a lack of transparency. And allow inconsistent scheduling and just amateur managing. So for example,  if they can put you on schedule for tomorrow,  and you come to work the next day to clock in, Only to find out that you were  not on schedule. I’m learning as an employee as I look for jobs and shop for jobs to really do a job historic research and an employee background check. Do background checks on employers and the company. Got to sell our self out here in the last thing you wanna do is sell yourself to the wrong people and they take it vantage of you and mess you up. And Mess your resume up. Cause we out here. We Got to sell ourselves out here. The last thing anyone wants to do is sell themselves to the wrong company  and that company takes advantage of you and mess you up! and mess your resume up. Do a background check on them too! You can even find out what they are saying about you in your employee report comment box I will check that out to

I love this company. It is not often that you get to work in a business that is growing and is now a leader within their industry. As a courier you get to deliver many different things to many different places. If you are working a route, you deliver items to businesses and homes in a given time frame, use radios and scanners, get proof of delivery and handle returns. If you are doing hotshots you might go anywhere and deliver almost anything. If you are in customer service you get to interact with many different people, answer their needs and help the couriers. Your co-workers are mostly fun, easygoing and helpful. Attention to detail is a critical part of this job in whatever position you are in. The hardest part of this job is making sure your deliveries get done on time regardless of circumstances. The most enjoyable part is working with management that is positive, forward looking and knows when to have fun.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You're supposed to be an independent contractor but they want to charge you money if you miss days. They will charge you 500 for MVR and background. They take it out of 2 checks. They also want you to have a backup driver in case you miss days and that backup driver has to pay the $500 for the MVR and background. If your vehicle breaks down they want you to rent another one and keep working or they will cancel your contract.. they label you an independent contractor but they treat you as an employee

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They want you to deliver everything on time even if they're trucks are late. They barely give anything but they want to take take take

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone that works here is cool until corporate comes around. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Too much work for the money they want to pay you. Look for work somewhere else or you will regret it.

Tlhis establishment would be a very considerable place to work, if management would listen to and understand the concerns of the contracted individuals who actually runs the operation. The communication between the two parties are very poor. Also, the conditions surrounding the company is not very satisfying to say the least. (i.e. Very dusty inside warehouse, poor parking lot conditions, poor line communication, etc.).  In order for this business to become a successful one, there has to be a clear and thorough understanding of the terms and conditions of the contract and reasonable compensation, based upon the route being offered, between the two parties. And progress perhaps begins and maybe ends somewhere in between negotiations of route(s). And hopefully, if the discussion is satisfactory on both ends, agreements of settlements, would be forthcoming.

The workplace culture is professional where contribution to the goals is recognized and rewarded.  The people in work with are amazing and we have fun despite some of the challenges we face.  We solve problems for our customers day in and day out and we improve people's lives everyday through our logistics services. Sometimes we have to work longer hours when things are really busy and our customers need our help so that is one of the challenges. We get to learn new ways of handling many issues related to logistics almost every day. My manager is great to work with, and while they hold us accountable, they are very supportive in helping us accomplish our objectives. We have a purpose and a mission and overall its a great place to work. 

Day to day includes sorting, scanning, sorting, loading, and delivering your routes product to various pharmacies and customers throughout your shift. At the end of the day, you unload your empty totes and returns. The management differs upon terminals and locations. The workplace culture is fairly descent, but again depends on which terminal some are better than others. I’d say the hardest part about the job is in the mornings while doing a product count, and while delivering as to make sure the right product goes to the right place. The most enjoyable is not having someone looking over your shoulder all day while delivering, very peaceful.

A typical day of work for me is busy and productive. I am able to use a variety of skills in my daily work that includes logic and artistic creativity. I have worked here for many years and still learn something new everyday. The executive team is next level educated and experienced. I feel like I work for a company that gets stuff done even in challenging situations and everyone has an important part to play. I understand that there is a risk in writing a positive review for the company you work at but honestly, this has been my truth for over fourteen years. The most enjoyable part of the job is the opportunity to give a positive message with sincerity and a bit of humor.
