Hansen & Adkins Auto Transport

They say no force freight , that's a lie.
All trucks are junk and always broke down.
They have 7-8 drivers that they spoil and give the same loads and routes to everyday while all the other guys do the bad loads.
They act like they don't know or understand what makes the company and that is the drivers. They have a dispatch woman who actually curse drivers , talks very bad to them and will actually tell the driver that she's not gonna let him make any money. Corporate will not do anything because she in good with the upper management. Drivers been quitting that terminal every week for years because of one woman and corporate too blind or just don't care to do anything about it. So if you want no life and do anything but work long hours everyday without any time off, no holidays, work every Saturday,and get cussed out every time you want off well go work there. The pay isn't good for the time and out in the weather for the hours you put in. Dallas has plenty good jobs that pays the same and you will probably be more appreciated and not cursed out all the time.

Hansen and Adkins claims to be a Family Oriented company but this is far from the truth, HR department is ineffective and the Operations Management team consists of the good old boys and unless you are part of that click you are no body but a number.
you will have to work usually 7 days a week and up too 15 hours per day and your supposed paid holidays are mandatory to work with no additional pay when you do work,
Good Luck with trying to schedule time off for Vacation and Balancing you quality of life and the Job as they preach will never happen as they expect you to work and be on the Job all the time with no questions asked.
Many top management positions are Staffed with individuals who have no educations and are inn those positions just because they are part of the good old boy network.
Salaries are far below the industry standards and for the region and reviews will never happen unless you push the issue.

This was my first big job as an adult. I got hired on overnight to split time working the support phone for the drivers and eventually the role folded over into helping with operations so I was learning things most people had to go to college to learn and I was getting paid for it. The company itself is great and a lot of wonderful people work here. You will feel included and part of a family. The annual company crawfish boil is always a good time as well. This job provided me with a platform to jump off of to pursue my career. Highly recommend Hansen and Adkins.

I was lied to starting with the phone interview. I never came close to making what I was told I would make. The best time I had with this company was the 2 weeks I spent in Jacksonville for orientation. You have to run the system just to make a living. You spend 2-4 hours loading (depends on experience with car hauling) and all of that is free work. Load pay with rarely any backhauls so you work for free again. In 5 months, I had 5-6 trucks breakdown on me and the terminal manager always says how it’s a good truck and how this guy drove it and he was my top driver. The I do think the company is good otrucks have over 500,000 miles on them and the hydraulics is slow. The supervisors play favorites so you won’t get the loads that pay your bills.

I have this company 13 years they were full of lies and broken promises every body wants to be a boss. Poorly managed from the top to the bottom. Have a bunch of employees in management that have never driven a truck but want to tell you how to do your job. Buddy buddy system when it came to best loads and equipment. It’s ashame it was a great company in the beginning but the bigger they got the worse it became. Good drivers constantly leaving and company makes no attempt to keep them. We were just a number but one thing is for sure you can’t replace good car haulers. Avoid this company nothing but bs from top to bottom 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Went down 👇 Hill bad last 3 years 


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not to damage freight and dealing with safety department that has never driven a car hauler 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Bad safety department is only looking at ways to get insurance coverage for the truck cheaper 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fair no prob at most yards to load long as you get your load dispatched before you get there

Typical in the industry. They promise you this and that . When it comes down to  it they only care about getting freight moved. When the company was alot smaller things were different. Ive been with the co longer than 70% of employees and have watched the treatment of employees slowly change

A daily plan may or may not be set for the day or its everyone for their selves. Very little structure or ownership of daily duties. It's implied and expected that everyone knows the objectives and how to obtain them, along with certain job duties that need to be performed, with no real communication on who is doing what, creating wasted time and double work.
No real sense of team effort, very negative atmosphere all the way around, creating a hostile and un-inviting work environment.


You’re not a person you’re a number, they don’t care for you they care about what’s on paper. It’s always up and down with work and it sets you back because your truck will break down when work picks up and then they fix it and work is slow again so you can never get ahead you just living paycheck to paycheck, if you want to make good money you have to be overweight and height and if you don’t then they will treat you badly and you won’t make any good money.

Hansen & Adkins Auto Transport puts personal friendships before what's best for the company.  Too many managers are not qualified (or educated) to be in the positions they are in.  Concerns made to the owners are never addressed, so the overall feeling by employees is "why say anything at all, they aren't going to do anything about it". And working in HR made it difficult to feel good about what I was doing for the employees.  I think a successful business should think of the staff as the reason it is successful.
