Langer Transport

Langer is a company that has withstood the test of time. Their equipment is new and the leadership understands the driver market and they care their employees.

There is no perfect company or person, but the leadership at Langer tries its' best to accomodate drivers when they present their opportunities to leadership.

Let's not forget, the sole purpose is to work. And they have plenty of work to earn a very favorable living wage. They don't want cowboys haulin' down the road, but converesely, they don't want slackers either. Everyone at Langer is there to earn a living by being safe, efficient and customer driven. 

I don't think that there are many companies that can equal their compensation and  'humanitarian' package. They are completely Safety driven and monitored; e-logs, driver safety meetings, uniforms, safety euqipment provided, decent directions to locations, fellow drivers go out of there way to assist when possible. Help is just a phone call away with their 24 hour dispatch.

Used to be a great place to work when they had more of a family atmosphere, until they started growing. Staff at SC terminal is good and they're basically the best I've seen. Easy to get along with. However, corporate is not really driver friendly like it used to be. It's hard to get someone on phone; they want you to email. Snappy attitude at some of the drivers when they're "too busy to talk". They discuss personal business with the driver in front of other employees. Access to office personnel is guarded. Used to be able to walk in and visit, and now you can't without meeting the gatekeepers. Back in the day that wouldn't stand at all. Got a pay raise to top tier and then took it away 2 months later due to "economic conditions". Not happy at all with that, especially with miles being lower. We need a bigger customer base or more lanes to really keep us rolling to offset the lower pay. Equipment is good, but we need better access to maintenance on the weekends. You can't run a 24/7 trucking company with bankers hours. 

Most of our loads at Langer are generated at the same shippers. A lot of our loads at the Texas terminal are pre loaded by local drivers. Our trailers are all Tremcars and almost all air ride. Our tractors are all Cascadias, not very comfortable, governed at 65 mph and have driver facing cameras which is a real deal breaker for a lot of drivers. Most of the 2019 and newer trucks are automatics. Our loads are driver friendly and 95% of the time we unload and head back home. The pay is hard to beat but no employee matched 401K. Health, dental and vision is under $100.00 a week for the driver but for some reason it's over $400.00 a wk for driver and spouse. 

Seems like there’s always work for OTR. If you’re willing to put in the work then sky is the limit here. Dispatch & entire management are extremely great and professional. Friendly environment. Equipment is very well maintained and taken care of. Yard is well organized. In/out facing cameras but it’s not a bother, as long as you’re doing what you’re supposed to do, you won’t be bothered. Hands down, THE BEST company to work for. Other drivers are very friendly and are always willing to help with whatever it is. A lot of longevity here, a lot of employees been with the company for over 15 20 years and that’s drivers and management included. Love it here. 

I worked for Langer for 2 years.  I was treated well by the management and the pay is pretty good.  I was a new driver and I learned much about the buisness and driving.  Hours were difficult often, but thats the buisness.  Management expects you to do your job, but they are fair in the event of a problem.  One of the things I found difficult is when a customer is not prepaird to take your load.  I sat 8 hours waiting for the customer to make room in his tanks, I was paid for the time, but it makes a mess of your work hours.

Langer is one of the best driver employed companies. The pay is good but most of all they have the freight to keep you moving. I've had other owner operator jobs that slow down especially in the winter months but Langer is pretty consistent all year. If you can't make a good living here than your not gonna make it some where else. They have the work if your willing to do it. I see driver’s come and go but I often see them come back to Langer because the they can't make the same money elsewhere or the other company promises alot but can't deliver. Overall Langer is not perfect but they are close enough to perfect for me.

The company was great to work for, they try and give you the work you want. I left to pursue my own authority and still keep in touch with them. I would highly recommend this company for independents and company drivers alike. Compensation for company drivers is hard to beat in the industry and the long-term security for a leased operator is there. Hope this helps with your decision making. I wouldn't hesitate to return to them in any capacity.
