Lipman Family Farms

I worked for Lipman for only seven months, Their dispatch in the Hendersonville location was unorganized and will constantly run drivers over hours and even make you drive on personal conveyance.  That way you can either be back for another run, or another temp driver can use the truck. 

When hired I explained to the company my schedule requirements so that I could attend to family issues and was never compensated.  Hendersonville pays you on a 40 hour work salary but often drivers are out 60+ hours and often at one customers for over four hours.

The pay for elongated hours were not matched nor did drivers get proper time off.  They claim to give you two days off consecutively but it rarely happens.

The trucks are old, and worn.  And their maintenance team does not tend to them as needed.  Refrigerated trailers are also worn, broken and often have maintenance lights on.

The only way I would suggest working here is if you are new and need experience, this is not a place for a family driver, nor if you want to move up the later and make advancements or have sufficient time off with your loved ones.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You integrate to be part of a family, for them you are not just another employee. The environment is comfortable, you work as a team and you don't see a division. I will never regret being a part of Lipman Family Farm.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As in every company there are responsibilities and working at Lipman is not an exception. You must be detail oriented, know how to analyze and reach logical and realistic conclusions and for that you must be responsible and mature in terms of your work performance.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is a multicultural company and that is the most beautiful being able to see them all together without prejudice or boasting of greatness, it's make us a priceless company. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As if I was at home working with my family.

People are good people but unorganized. Dispatches are not dedicated so can’t plan anything with family. They want you to run on AG Exempt to make it back to take another load. Leave between 10pm to 2am and not make it back til 5 to 7pm. You won’t know your next run til a few hours before you have to leave. Trucks and trailers are worn out and trashed out. Mechanic is not full time so don’t expect your truck or trailers get fixed anytime soon if at all. As a driver I have fixed the same trailers a few times myself. No riders and 10 hours home is if your lucky. No family time and I have haven’t had weekend off yet even had to work memorial Day weekend and Memorial Day. Good friendly people though.good for people needing experience. 

Lipman Family Farms is a decent place to work. Hauling produce is not bad. We always have work to be done, and if you are willing to put in the work you can make a great living. Management isn't bad, and the culture is okay. The hardest part of the job is produce really doesn't slow down, so during the holidays we work, except for Thanksgiving day and Christmas day, bit you're working those nights. For me the most enjoyable part is I can work as hard as I want to. It's probably not for everyone,  but the work is there.

Start, manage the situation and take care of business. The ability to build and maintain a team is crucial to success. The fresh produce industy can be challenging but by maintaining a good solid team you can overcome any challenge. 

Great Management and they actually listen and strive to make their employees happy. It was just too far for myself to drive too and have any kind of home life as a single father. They are very good people!

Good place to work trained well,  paid decently, home time is decent.  Never know more than a day ahead of time where you're dispatched,  not dedicated so hard to plan life outside of work.
