Merx Global

What is the best part of working at the company?
They have numerous dedicated routes Like Chicago to Texas and back. I was able to set my home time where I had work 30 days before taking a full week off. I was able to enjoy my 34hrs reset every weekend. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
After home times every load you take coming off of home time routes back to the terminal I wish we went other places rather than straight back to terminal Or delivering with them

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The working environment is pretty great  the company is within 1 mile from the nearest truck Stop and they have there own mechanic shop nearby.  They don't bug or   hound you on work safety and other staff members are very friendly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me was you pick up at the terminal a preloaded trailer sometimes you pick up a empty trailer that will pick up a load what mostly is preloand some of the customers are also preloaded you pick up the gold and you head off to your delivery location. For me I normally pick up at the terminal a pre loaded trailer and start my way to Texas

This is a company that I was just terminated on 6/ 14/2022..

But may I say;  it's a awesome company ..If you are considering this company take my advice and seek employment.  They take care of you and the entire staff is a pleasure . And you will be paid with miles and benefits .

Now for me.  Why was I terminated?  They say downsizing.   My opinion is lateness and not doing things right .  I suffer many ailments : knee problems ,severe lower back problems,  including my right hip a d shoukders . So everyday is a task getting out of bed . I did have insurance . I did miss the cutoff in my first year and when I got insurance this year I planned to seek treatment .  Not looking for sympathy.   That's why I was let go .. I have np resentment.  They did the right thing . The only thing they should of done is let me know in advance . 

But otherwise  
, I give them 5 stars .  

Merx Global represents a company that knows "why" they are in business. It is very hard to find businesses that can focus on their why, it is very hard to find a company that their employees recognize and promote the company's "why". Because of this focus... the customers validate Merx as a great company by promoting the company as well. As an employee of Merx Global I have heard from our customers and our employees and they believe in what Merx believes in. This is a rare quality in a company that most other companies fail to deliver. Because of this focus by the ownership and the employees at Merx I believe that Merx will prosper well into the future and continue to provide the best service to their customers. This is why I love to work at Merx Global

This is probably the worst company I have worked for in 10 years of driving a commercial vehicle.  The average daily run is 300 miles, if you're lucky.  You'll spend more time at truck stops waiting for a load.  Although they advertise their weekly pay is $1950, you will never attain that.  You will be lucky to break $800 a week.  They don't pay breakdown pay and they will gaslight you regarding detention pay.  They also advertise an increase after one year, but that is more of their gaslighting tactics.  Don't waste your time with this company.  There is nothing good about working for Merx Global

When I first started with Merx, pay was good and miles were good. However, in the last 10 months, they’ve cut pay and the miles aren’t there.  Lots of short runs, no paid detention, they make excuses why they can’t pay breakdown pay.  They will gaslight you and give you a ton of excuses. They don’t give annual increases and their “bonus” is impossible to achieve because it’s based on miles you’ll never attain.  Health insurance is very expensive, only 5 paid vacation days per year. All in all, I don’t recommend working for Merx. 

This is a Bulgarian owned company that is mostly run by Europeans and they treat their drivers and any other American workers like second class citizens. Their dispatchers are allowed to talk to the drivers anyway they please with no repercussions. 
Trying to get anything done mechanically on a truck or trailer is like pulling teeth. If you're lucky and the fleet managers like you, maybe they'll let you switch trucks. Otherwise you're going to sit and not make any money.

Good company. Each department works hard together to make it a great place. Dispatchers are always very busy working with our drivers to keep them moving while also getting them home. Safety and Accounting also work hard every day. The president and the vice president are two brothers who are honest, good to work for and make sure that things continue to go well while also allowing their employees to work without watching over your shoulder. I've enjoyed working here since day one.

It is a nice office to be in. Everything is kept clean and organized. The computers, phones, etc are up-to-date and functional. The expectations of our job tend to constantly change and it can be difficult to keep up with the changing demands, but overall, it is a nice job with steady and standard hours. It is a competitive, fast-paced environment, but our co workers joke around and have fun too. This is a diverse office. You will be exposed to many different languages while you work here.

So far, all is very good. Everyone is really nice for the most part and this is the first company that actually pays as advertised; just work hard and get your loads done. My only complaint is my truck speed is 68 maximum and the recruiter told me 70 would be max. I know a guy who's max speed is 67 and shop says it's actually supposed to be 66 so. I guess I'm lucky. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Guaranteed pay every week. And the sign on bonus. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with foreign employees. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very stressful and not truly rewarding enough. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very tedious and monotonous. Like walking on eggshells.
