when i first started it was actually pretty nice but over time the leadership showed their true selves and the job became more of a headache, marking every single thing harder then it had to be they don't care about anyone here your just a number since I've been here they went through 4 different people messed up thing is they would have you meet and train your replacement before they let you go ask me how i know :) I was here for over a year did my job to the best of my ability was always being dependable even stayed late hours they also expect you to be a janitor I had to do the trash almost every night and we deep cleaned every Friday there's no raises no opportunity to grow in a company they always lie in your face and trust they have favorites even among  Dock Workers so don't get to buddy-buddy with folks in fact everyone in the leadership roles down to the forklift drivers are family and close friends beside 1 forklift driver believe me you'll see for yourself leadership don't do anything all day then complain when they have to lift a finger they don't follow OSHA guidelines AT ALL only act right when the owners show up and all their forklift propane tanks keep leaking smelling like eggs dang near choked out once when i tell ya boy that Iowa winter breeze ain't never felt so good 

Do not work here by any means. It is a joke. You have little to no communication with upper management and if you have one thing that goes wrong even if it's slight you are fired. After working one day for this company I was fired without even knowing until the end of my shift that I had done something "wrong". Without even being given the common courtesy of a chance to correct what I had supposedly done wrong I was let go. The owners are incompetent and have no business running a company let alone dealing with people. They are disgraceful and extremely distasteful. 

I ran the operation for a freight trucking company, i loved my job and wasnel problem with me because he didn't hire me the corporate office did and  very productive helping the company turn a profit for the year. I got along with all of my co workers and never missed a day of work but got no support from the GM who had a personnel problem with me because he didn't hire me the president of the company did and he let me go for no apparent reason

●	Able to build and maintain business relationship with clients
●	Complete knowledge of the freight brokerage industry
●	Strong negotiating and organizational skills
●	Experienced in analyzing and solving logistical problems
●	Ability to work with MS Office Suite, other applications customized for transportation industry
●	Develop and maintain strong relationships with customers and carriers

My typical day starts off with updates, making sure the customers know the truck-drivers are on time or late.Also checking P.O.D.s which is Proof of Delivery. Booking loads, setting people up with our company if not already with us. hardest part is when its slow and i have to call other trucking companies one by one and see if they need a truck or a load.

I really loved working at lightning logistics. I would definitely recommend this work place to a friend. It’s a pretty comfortable and fun job. You also work by yourself which is kind of nice 

I GOT TO LEARN A LOT ABOUT THIS COMPANY AND THE INDUSTRY FROM THIS JOB. THEY WERE GREAT AT TEACHING ME ABOUT A NEW INDUSTRY THAT I HAD NOT LEARNED IN THE PAST.

Very young and immature company, no one knows how to run it or what they’re doing. Managers are so immature and went out of their way to try to prevent me from getting other jobs. Really bad people to work for and the most disorganized company I’ve seen. ANY other amazon DSP is better. 

Brief training provided at beginning, long shifts and almost entirely physical based but if you're ok with that and in decent shape can definitely be a rewarding job! Only thing I wish I knew more when starting is to be prepared for all weather elements, makes a huge difference to be prepared for your day ahead.

The job has pretty flexible hours, the pay is pretty decent without a degree or anything. The managers are pretty good. Its is a delivery job which requires a lot on your body, so it gets pretty straining after a while.
