Miller Transportation

Miller Transportation has been a great place to work. Ok so explaining why I rated them the way I have. 
Job work/life balance : They are constantly under staffed, more work than can possibly be done. Tends to lead into long shifts 13hrs+ and voluntary weekends. 
Compensation/Benefits: I would rank them higher if they paid overtime at 1.5x or higher. Honestly working for the same pay doesn't make ya' want to put out the extra effort and overtime. 
Job Security/Advancement : Well if you don't quit, and you know what you're doing, they won't fire you. The advancement kinda sucks....there is no path to first shift (currently working 2nd). No set pay raises. No distinguishable "ladder" to climb.
Management: Because the company is relatively small, the management is very approachable about ideas to improve work flow. Management also tries to stay on top of communication to the work force through weekly shift meetings, aswell as daily updates. 
Job Culture: With the exception of having to fix dumb repetitive mistakes made by drivers the work isn't that bad. A lot of the work is preventative maintenance inspections.

What is the best part of working at the company?
A little more lenient than most companies

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Because they are laid back there is no structure in place. Also there is no seniority so management has a tendency to overlook a good driver and will give the work to their favorites whether they are good or not.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The kids that we service can be explained as some of the worst kids to drive for.

Management vs employee it seems management is going always try and use the power struggle method even if they know they’re wrong 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Days could be pretty ok if you get on your bus and go. If you have to go into the office you could expect to be rubbed the wrong way. Either someone is just looking mad and confused at you or you could be expect to be disrespected in some way

This company is shady at best! They need to have a union. Only their favorite drivers get decent paying routes & are allowed to take their buses home. I applied to be a motor coach driver and was told that they were hiring for it. Once I started they came back and said help them out on the school bus side and they would get me trained for motor coach. They were very nonchalant in actually telling me how much school bus driver paid. Once I saw how small and ridiculous the pay was be the routes I told them I would not be doing school bus again and to let me know when motor coach training would begin. They began to play games with me and tell me that motor coach training wouldn’t happen again for six more months. These people are terrible and need the labor board called in against them. 

I liked working for Miller from 2008 to around 2014. Our manager at that time and all the office staff were fun to work with. Most of them or not there anymore because of their retiring over the years. I loved their  Charter Buses that were always clean and fun to drive. The hardest part of the job was at first learning to write your daily Logbook but after learning all about your logbook it got to be pure fun. The most enjoyable part of the job was driving to different cities and states with other drivers that "already knew the way there" because of that driver's longer experience. But your confidence became much better after you yourself learned to read a map on your own and route yourself before leaving in advance. It's a great place to work if you like driving, and I do.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Miller, transportation is a great place to work. Very family originated. I would recommend it if you want a company to take care of you great 401(k) plan come on the board.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The only thing I could think is could be stressful there sometimes the road conditions weather, but the company is great

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Their working environment is very friendly. Millers have been around for a long time. They treat their employees good



What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Picking up the customers and taking them to their destination and returning them safely, it’s a great time meet new people get to see a lot of attractions

Miller Transportation was a good expience despite it's cons, I was able to quickly become a back bone in my department. A day at work consisted of moving buses from parking area to and from wash bay, then servicing buses with a crew of three. The hardest part of this job was working hard every day in a indepedent working enviorment and not being appreciated by my staff or management after exceeding expectations. I was able to make a quicker and more accurate system for meeting company expectations by simply cordinating co-workers to an easier way of completing tasks in an orderly fashion. Throughout my previous employment with Miller Transportation, I can be thankful for the knoledge and supervising skills I obtained.

I love to travel and working with customer, that has ambition more than i do. driving a motor coach is something everyone would love to do.i learned a lot from different people, as i traveled across 17 states first of all im my own boss. and when you have 56 passengers in your hands you have to take control by relaxing your guess and earn there trust so they could feel at home away from home because you as the driver are there safty to there destination. the hardest part of this job was the driving being safe and alert from other driver, who are not aware of the highway dot regulation but overall i love it.

My day could actually start at any given set time.  You would have the opportunity to get rest and relaxzation on and off the job.   The management basically allows you to accept or not accept the job(s) that may be offered to you, provided you have a reasonable excuse.  The workplace is convenient and is well maintained for safety reasons.  The hardest part of this job is dealing with SOME of the public's everyday drivers.  Nationwide!  But if you have the intelligence of dealing with customers whether it be of race, color or creed, it can become enjoyable just to say I have accomplished a milestone in my life and career.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great family atmosphere. Very understanding of life happens. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of accountability of others actions or lack of. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Familyish.... one day you're liked the next you're on the list.... lots of gossip between coworkers and upper management 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pretty basic for this industry-stressful

I believe that this company is strictly for those with older or no children, as well as those who are single with minimal responsibilities. I’d recommend this job to someone who is retired and just looking for something to do. I WOULDN’T recommend this job to someone who has small children, or is wanting a flexible schedule. Flexible schedules will result in not receiving many or no trips at all! Also YOU’RE NOT PAID HOURLY, YOU’RE PAID BY THE TRIP…PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND.
