Holland Enterprises

 working for this company. They are very nice to drivers and honest with drivers. The customers like us because the relationship Holland has with them. I have been driving since 1996 the best company I've worked for hands down. Always get home on time They do not micromanage. Their dispatch system with regions is brilliant 99% of the time have a load set up before delivery of the present load. Their equipment is immaculate and works great. They wasn't even considering mandating vaccines to drivers either. The shop personnel takes their time with you. Handle repairs of any pretty fast. They have long hauls a lot. 900 Miles is a short trip. You drive 48 states. Dot don't hassle Holland. Have pre pass. Have road facing cameras but not on the driver. They have good bonuses. They reward hard work. Have satellite TV. They care about the drivers. They have set up to use cat scales on the app. The trailers have auto air fill on the tires so not losing tires. Tandems easy to slide. They ha e a system for everything that works smooth. They have a night dispatch for Immediate concerns. A lot of times they send an authorization code for pumper fee if after hours delivery ahead of time. They give good instructions for shipper and receiver. They give you all the miles you can stand. 11000 miles a month minimum.
If you are solo and want the passenger seat out they do that for more room. I've been here three years next month. You don't sit waiting on loads ever. Truck wash once a month. Great place to work for over the road.

I've been a driver with this company for 4 years now. I love the equipment. I have had only one on-road breakdown and I have never even once had to go on a trailer hunt for an empty trailer. I never sit idle. I have a reload pre-scheduled every time at least 24 hours before I make a delivery. That helps me to plan not only my day, but my week as well. Benefits are great. 
 The only downsides for me are the relatively low cents-per-mile pay and the fact that I have to specifically request detention pay. Also, when I am dispatched on a load that is already late to be picked up, I am not paid for the hours (sometimes 20+ hours) that I sit waiting as a "work in." If it's not my fault the pickup was scheduled at the exact same time I am being unloaded across town, I think I should be compensated for my time spent sitting at the shipper waiting to be worked in. Holland does not agree with me on this point. Too bad. 
 Overall, I'd rate Holland Enterprises very highly. The good far, far, far outweighs the bad.

they have very good trucks, they will mostly run you good if your a runner, but, they will short or not pay detention pay but bill the customers for it, maybe you get paid, maybe not, miles are paid right,but at times they will put LTL on you and not pay first and last stop, the LTL loads cause a small paycheck, and they play with your money at times, also they charge you a truck deposit to you for their company truck of $700, more if you have a pet not sure but i think it was $1,200 but your going to pay a deposit on their company truck , if you get sick of them playing with your money they will start messing with you, they will treat you super good if you do not stand up to them for playing with your money, the problems and why they have a large turnover is always about money and the milage pay is low, its a money problem place, other then them (at times) shorting your pay on detention or not paying it at all, the longer your there the more favors they ask for, I work to get paid not do free favors, the mileage pay is below what it should be

Over all a truly great company to work for. I personally did not want to leave. I loved the other employees and the drivers on the road would actually talk to each other. Trucks were nice and the TV/Sattalite was definitely a bonus I still miss that. However miles were in the 2500-3000 (winter time 1800-2500) range. Because trucks were only low powered to speeds at 65, more miles a week could not be achieved. Freight was good and long hauls were awesome. However due to slow trucks it would take all week to deliver a load and cut into pay. If trucks had been powered better and two loads a week would have been possible this would be the absolute best company to work for in the industry. But the days of 75 mph trucks are gone, so Holland is a great company and I truly miss working there but ultimately low speeds and long hauls don't mix and this cuts down on driver pay and I could no longer afford to work here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Family company with fabulous new equipment.  Consistent work, long loads and mostly great locations.  In my 12-year association with the Holland family, as an OTR driver,  I have to say I enjoy working here very much.   For me, I like to stay busy and I like longer length of haul.  I appreciate the brand new equipment, Nice trailers and all the incentives.  We do very little drop and hook, so you have your same trailer for a while. No touch freight and no LTL.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As in any trucking job, with any company,  tight deadlines are always stressful.   Fortunately it's not an every load occurrence.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family oriented with an open door policy

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pick up or deliver loads, plan my trips, check weather conditions, road conditions and manage my clock.

Running an average 7-8 hour days averaging 400-450 miles/day
Will let you reroute in certain circumstances to avoid chaining in inclement weather 
Management is very easy going, nice, and flexible with routes and home time
The staff at Holland is mostly family and they know how to treat people and families very well
Hardest part of job is making sure to be punctual, they do have very tight schedules sometimes, no time to mess around
Easy part is talking to management addressing any concerns cause we always received positive feedback and they were willing to work with our situation 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay is good, the people at Holland are all super nice, the trucks are trailers are well maintained and set up for the comfort of the driver. They keep us rolling. Great company. This is how it should be. Other companies should take notice.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes tight delivery times, but if you can’t make it you let them know. They work with it and don’t act negatively.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly and happy. The drivers lounge is great. They have showers, sleeping rooms, laundry, food cooking, snacks. The mechanics like their jobs.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Driving. We are long haul, coast to coast.

This company provides new and state of the art equipment and the newest safety features on the equipment. They are very concerned about the physical and mental health of their drivers. They provide all the comfort features in their trucks, (frig, tv with satilite, invertors etc...) They have a very good quarter bonus program for drivers that meet minimum requirements For that quarter. I would refer this company to any driver looking for a OTR company. The hardest part of the job is not being home with my family. This is why I am looking for work that will have me home everyday.

There can’t possibly be a worse company to work for than Holland Enterprises.  They pay you absolutely nothing to attend their orientation which can be as much as $150.00 per day at other companies.  There is no sign on bonus which can be as much as $10,000 at other companies.  They lie to you about paying you detention after you start working for them and make up excuses to cheat you out of detention.  The pay is amongst the worst when it comes to the trucking industry and you will be paid on average $20,000 less to work for Holland Enterprises than you will elsewhere.

Great equipment, absolutely amazing loads (usually cross-country 2k to 3k miles on a single load), and pay is reasonable. However you will never get a day off while out on the road and they will come up with any excuse they can think of to dodge giving you your hometime. Even if you've been out for two months.

If you have no family or friends, just want to make money, and are fine with living out of the truck 24/7/365, then Holland can be a great opportunity. But if you have any life whatsoever and aren't prepared to dedicate it entirely to Holland, then I would not recommend this company.
