Nu-Way Transportation

I have constantly been talked down to and treated like I’m below management and other employees. Other employees really like to micromanage and contradict each other and then get mad at you when there’s a mix up. I had to take time off for a death in the family and was threatened with termination. The benefits are extremely expensive. I pay $116 a week for my wife and I and the manager told me in the interview how the benefits were really cheap. They are very picky with overtime. They will give some employees overtime while making others leave early so they don’t go over 40 hours and telling them there is no overtime to get. I started out eager and ready to continue my career with them but after time, the treatment from management and other employees have made it extremely hard to just get through the day. I would do my best to stay busy and avoid people as much as possible to make the day just go by fast. If you’ve already had your spirit crushed by this world and are just beaten and broken and just need the same thing day to day, this job may be for you. 

One of the worst places I have ever worked for.  They force you go to Bloomington for orientation on your own dime, you have to use your own time and gas while other companies would be paying you for this, but not Nu-way!  
Management especially HR are awful, they think about themselves only and don't care about their employees.  They charge you for uniforms in your paycheck every week, I have NEVER worked for a company that does this.  They have a bonus system that when you do things that aren't "right" then you lose your bonus, for example everyone comes to work sick because if they call in they will lose their bonus.  So then the hard worker gets sick because of the money hungry people that can't just stay home and keep the germs to themselves.  
This is one company that truly does not care about their fellow employees and they are out to keep all the money and make you work like a dog.  In your best interest to look for a job somewhere else, take it from me, that is what I did!

Management lies, pay is good if you dont mind working 70 hrs a week and not seeing your family. No sick time, pay for your own uniforms, at some accounts you sit for hours and hours waiting for a load, management lies,. They are always looking for drivers for a reason, its a revolving door.  Drivers have not had a raise in 6 years. I would start at 600am and not get home sometimes till 9 or 10 at night. Do not, i repeat do not trust these people. I know several drivers that were set up in order to fire them. They will all stab you in the back. The account managers do not return calls if you have an issue. Money can be good if you work 70 hrs including saturday or sunday. Encore division will gross about 1200.00 per week. Other accounts pay less some more.  Insurance is ok if you dont mind 1300.00 deductable per person. I was miserable , they fired me while i was looking for a job anyway. Their loss as far as im concerned.

Management does not seem to care about drivers. Supervisors control your routes and, ultimately, your paycheck, which leads to inconsistent and unpredictable earnings.
You rarely know your start time, making it difficult to plan anything. Since pay is based on mileage and stops, this lack of consistency directly affects your income.
One good day doesn’t make up for the rest of the week. Driver retention could improve with more consistent and supportive supervision. Overall, the job lacks stability, fairness, and proper support from management.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I would say the communication, but they failed to mention that they were ending my route along with another driver.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having their drivers backs. They will let the customers do whatever they want whenever they want and we would have to abide by it. It literally made no sense.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Environment was OK. You’re pretty much left alone all the time. The culture it seem to be OK but really, it’s not.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Running my route being left alone by myself, which is pretty cool getting the job done only speak to someone in the office when there was an issue.

The job itself is easy, however, there’s A LOT of micromanaging. Working onsite with the customer, you’d received more support from the customer than NuWay management. Management said one thing and did another while throwing in your face the pay. They don’t support their employees because they’re focused on customer obsession which is weird if the employees aren’t happy, the customer won’t be either. The  customer is fully aware that NuWay management lacks A LOT and has verbalized it numerous times. The only reason why NuWay still has the account is because of a mutual. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people are understanding and great to work with. Home every day in the AM. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Limited work ... and uncertainty of making my bills on time 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good okay ...only have phone conversation with dispatch but every time the need to speak with anyone on staff has been nothing but respect and honesty 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Peaceful and less stress....it's such a remarkable place to work for. I know every company has fall backs and therefore I'm content because I know a better day as God gives me breath is on the way

Equipment is fairly new so for the most part no problem when the EQ was new. Now getting tires for your tractor is like pulling teeth. Besides that the work is easy. The miles is there if you, and your teammate can drive them. It's nothing to average 6500 miles a week. To be honest 6500 is a lazy team average over there. When I was there I was in the 7200 range. Communication can be iffy at times, but getting in touch with central is not a hassle. The 5 years I was over there, I probably on hold to talk to someone at central like four times. 

Started with Nu-Way in 2004, prior to working with Nu-Way I already had been in the transportation industry for 26 years. Experienced a lot of changes to the industry during those 26 years, as a driver and truck company owner. Looking for a stable contract carrier company with good benefits, I found Nu-Way. Within a few months driving with Nu-Way, I knew I found a home. Always plenty of work and opportunities, I was able to work on several different accounts over the years. Gaining company experience with opportunity to learn I transitioned to site manager and very pleased to be part of Team Nu-Way. Come join us! Make a difference!

I’ve got over 35 years OTR experience and my only regret? I didn’t come here 20 years ago!  The people in management? Have your back here! They know you personally. And talk to you like your family. This company works WITH you. Not against you! They really try to help you in any problems you may encounter. 99% of all management were drivers themselves so they know what we face on the road. If you don’t come here? Your not where you should be!!! I make over $100K a year! I swear to you it’s the truth! This is the BEST job I’ve ever had! Gonna take a big stick to run me off. IM HOME HERE!!!!
