The drop and hook it's not even the problem it's the live loads time consuming for a driver now days if u don't know how to manage your time you'll be in trouble I spent 5 hours just to get my paperwork done in Dunn NC food Lion it's a no no

It's fine most of the drivers are experienced and courteous some of them but overall the company is ok maybe if they pay a Lil more will make a difference 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Driving from state to state and taking my rest and delivery on time that's what it matters to them

What is the best part of working at the company?
Heyl was and is a great company to drive for,  I was there for 10 + years they are really family driven, great maintenance crews and office staff!.  There truck's are new are no more than 3 years old, sleepers loaded with all the comforts of home, Apu, fridge, micro and inverter. The heyl family, the owners are awesome!. I  got to meet and know all of them on a first name basis. If I could / my health permitting I would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks again to heyl for all the great years. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The waiting time, getting loaded and unloading but they do pay for detention time after all it's part of the job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cold during the winter and hot in the summer. We have a lot of mixed cultures very friendly and mid western, southern friendly. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Once loaded and on the road, just great drive 500 + miles a day stop for break 10 hours and do it again the next day..

long haul truck driving , lower 48 states. picking up freight at shipper and deliver to customer (between 400 miles and 3000 miles ). most loads are refrigerated so the driver is responsible to watch and maintain temperature specified by dispatch info. most days I would drive 450 miles, take a 10 hour break and do much the same thing the following days until reaching the final destination. seeing many places out the front office window was great, its changing day to day. if everything is going o.k. you don't hear from management. weight is important to watch, the maximum total weight is 80,000 pounds.the life of a" over the road" truck driver is lonely and can become very tire some. all communication is electronic and the truck is monitored and also a camera is in the cab looking out the front window and also inside the cab looking at the driver.the worst part is driving in snow and ice and also putting on chains, in sub zero weather with snow blowing.fun experience.

My job includes doing all the miscellaneous duties around the office. I process the mail, maintain records and files, make runs to court houses for attorneys, and routine maintenance. I usually work with my superiors and co-workers to get objectives completed through the day that help to keep the office running efficiently or to help an attorney. I took this job to gain office experience and to gain a solid reference, This job helps me learn how to build relationships in an office environment (which in my case I have a good relationship with co-workers and superiors) and how to be an efficient worker in an office. The hardest part is multi-tasking objectives. However, completing these tasks is the most enjoyable part of the job since you are able to do your part to help in completing a bigger objective which is the case itself.

This company started off great until you got to know management...they were gossiping and tried to set drivers up for failure...and these are men that I’m talking about in supervising positions...won’t name any names but they know who they are...I could never make a complaint because everyone covers their own there because they are either family or they knew people or they had been there longer than dirt...they acted friendly to your face but talked mad sxxt behind everyone’s back who didn’t suck up to them...lwell all in all they were not family driven especially when I came into some personal problems they pretty much just expect you to do for them and they don’t help you out at all...this was told to me by a manager “After everything Heyl has done for you ... this is how you treat them” they forget without the drivers they wouldn’t have a job!!! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
For new drivers, it will improve your financial situation.  Great people to work for.  From the DMs to the shop,  professional attitude.  All together, great trucking experience.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Well, I like to max my time on the road but I understand that it's like trying to solve the puzzle of loads, appointment times,  clock,  etc.  My time at Heyl has help me grow as a commercial truck driver and will carry for me until I retire. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is up beat and strong work ethics. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well,  daily driving since I've been OTR for the past years.  Gotta develope what works best for you to keep it rolling.

In my 7 months
Home time is always respected when I ask.
Pay is good compared to most mega carriers
68 on pedal and 70 on cruise is a dream come true.
Always have miles and never waiting 
Great equipment ! Not often I get a bad trailer and truck is always serviced once in the yard. Good maintenance team in the zeph. Yard.
My driver manager is always kind, helpful and encouraging. Heard night dispatch isn’t so good but the few times I’ve messaged them they were on point but again I rarely use them since the job is really self explanatory. 
Never had to use the health insurance so comment.
Overall a great company. 
The one complaint is the front cameras but it’s not much of a nuisance like amazon or other companies make it, so not a big deal and it’s kinda just a critique.

Low pay rate for the area worked$4.00 less than average for those area. Only took the job for more regular hours. That did not work, expected you on the clock @ 10 hour break , no matter how tired you were, and the hours of the previous day. 
No respect foe any personal boundaries. Informed them that I may be available as early as 4 am but preferably 6 am to 
 start, but got dispatches anywhere from 3 am to 10 am never knowing from day  to day what the schedule would be. EXPECTING 12 TO 14 HOURS DAYLY. THAT IS NOT REGULAR HOURS.
forced dispatch . 68 mph trucks 100 mph dispatch...
MICRO MANAGEMENT

I have been a driver for almost 3 years with heyl and i love it. They have the best trucks and trailers. I get great pay and you run as many miles as you want sure you might have to sit once in a while but thats trucking. The dispatchers are great they are top noch out of the sioux city hub. All the other drivers I have met have been very nice and willing to help if needed. I think the hardest part is just being got from family. The best part is all the new people you meet and new friends at the company they are very family friendly if you need a day off just ask and if it can be done than they will make it so you can get home.

Nice trucks. Bad pay and spend weeks out across country.  Drive all conditions(ice,snow, rain etc) and deliver at late night or early morning(1-3am) due to food hauling.  Lots of hit loads with no way to make the time/date of delivery.   Kind of stressful.  Not worth it. Just go work a 9-5 job instead of working a 70hr work week making peanuts.  Sleep in your own bed every night.  Trust me, you’ll be much happier.
