Howling Logistics

A good job if you’re in need of one. Very little opportunity for growth. The company is contracted by Amazon to offer package delivery as part of their DSP program. The success of the company is tied to the score card they receive from Amazon based on Amazon’s surveillance of the DSP’s employees. The owner is approachable, but driven by adherence Amazon’s metrics which determine the profit of the DSP.  A significant percentage of driver pay is determined by bonuses offered for surveillance metric compliance, which is ever changing and AI based. It’s a flawed system and everyone involved from top to bottom is aware of it, the owners included, but their own bottom line is married to the metrics so there is little they can do to get around it. There will be an AI driven surveillance camera present in the van which tracks your driving and compliance, albeit arbitrarily. If you’re in need of a job with base pay enough to get by in the area given cost of living, it’s for you. If you excel at it and are comfortable with arbitrary AI metrics being applied to your every move, you may have an opportunity for advancement given availability of support positions within the DSP after enough time adhering to policies. Don’t count on bonuses promised as a part of your income, as they are tied to the Amazon metrics and can and will be lost with one slip up in an 8-10 hour day. An on the job injury will also preclude bonuses. Overall the company does what they can for employees given the limitations Amazon imposes on them, which determines the profitability of the company. 

They run you into the ground and it still won't be a good enough job for them. They sit back and watch and rush you all day long no matter how big your load is or where you are. They'll give you random hits and points and you won't even know about the points until they come and suspend you for a week after running you here, there, and everywhere. They send people to sit on corners to watch you  and interpret (not help) but to watch, rush you, and get in your way throughout your route. I could go on and on about this place but all I'll say is it's not worth the time, physical strain/pain, or the chump change to work here for the amount of ungrateful management staff or the amount of stress. A lot of false advertising in the job posting as well!!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The owner of this company is a real piece of work thinks he's Elon Musk or something there's very little wiggle room for any kind of mistakes without having consequences rain down on you even if it's the smallest mistake

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The whole situation is stressful that company expects you to know their routine without any kind of actual training

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile and nerve-racking

Do not recommend this at all but definitely suggest going somewhere else before

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful unforgiving you start off with a high heart rate

If you enjoy driving and working alone it's ok. It's nice to keep up with your favorite podcasts. However, the bonuses they offer our next to impossible to get and they are quick to take them away at any opportunity (gotta steal that from you to keep up on the Tesla payments I suppose). They do not care about their employees. The vans are riddled with problems that you worry about being in some kind of death trap. Employees are overworked and underpaid. The insurance is awful and will end up being your 1/2 or entire pay check if you don't get the bonuses they claim are so easy to get. Save yourself from ruining your resume with this job it's a bad business. You will not stay here. Better off Door Dashing.

You are literally used and abused, then discarded when no longer needed or wanted. Rules are constantly changing. the huge workload and ton of restricting rules, it literally feels impossible to complete your job without heavy mental and physical anguish. Seems like a good starting pay but the pay isn't nearly enough for what u are put through. Drivers don't even have time to stop and use the bathroom. I was also given only one day of on the job training. When my truck got stuck in the snow during deliveries, I had to pay for a tow truck with my own money to get unstuck. I loved making deliveries and was good at it, but so many cons out weighed the pros.

A typical day at work is what you'd expect. 
I've learned that I'm just a check for the owner.
There is no work culture.
Hardest part of the job is knowing it's easier to lose money here, than make money. Also not being able to take a lunch or use the rest room because you don't want to lose your pace and not finish. Losing your bonus.
Most enjoyable part of the job is clocking out and going home to my family. 
Management is terrible. The owner is a real .... , not a leader by any means. Not sympathetic and doesn't know how to run his business or treat the employees that try to do their job right make the best of their job.

Your job working for Howling consists of doing EVERYTHING flawlessly. I mean it, every single minor thing can affect your ability to get a massive bonus for the month. Bonuses are based on packages delivered, something entirely out of your control, since your route and amount of packages each day is pre-determined. This means that some people get thousands of dollars a month just for doing an easy suburb route, but if you so much as forget a water bottle in a van once in the entire month, you lose your bonus.

Made the job practically impossible. Micromanages your driving. Had to use non toll road routes or we were charged, but the gps never gave a non toll road route so we had to figure it out ourselves. The gps kept messing up. The last day it sent me way out of the way and I didn't even have a package for that address. I was done! Also, expect the lowest pay range. The higher ones are made impossible to achieve. They say that's not the case, but they are lying. No thanks 

Howling is a great place to work if you want to work 30-35 hours a week. Bonuses are not guaranteed and are taken away from one mistake. They hang the bonuses over your head like they are easily obtainable, when they are not. Very Strict on everything & no growth for improvement. If you just want to work 30 hours a week, this job is for you. Job is easy. If you're looking for 40 Guaranteed, don't apply here.

This company is horrendous. Favoritism runs rampant. They say bonuses are easy to make. They are not. One mistake and they are gone. Rules and policies are changed daily if not weekly. While there are mechanics on site to work on the vans, they are told to do whatever they can to keep it running. They are told to Jerry rig things to keep them running instead of actually replacing parts.
