Optimum Logistic Solutions

This is a temp driver company. The pay is based on what account they assign you to. They can assign you to a different account every day or assign you to an account long term based on customer needs. Or they might not have work for you for weeks at a time. The job details are for what ever the contracted company requires. Sometimes it is hand unloading or unloading with a hand jack or a power jack. Sometimes the locations will unload the truck.Some customers are drop and hook. Depending on the customer, it can be day runs night runs or layover runs. The jobs available can be any days of the week including weekend. The hardest part of the job is not knowing if there is work available and trying to schedule your personal life around work. There are some times that you will know what customer you will be assigned to and what the schedule will be for the week. Other times you are basically on call until they have work. There are a few good managers, but there are also some managers who should not be in any management roll. The pay rate is usually competative and you can request paid or unpaid time off. Unfortunately, this company has gone down hill since they closed their regional branch offices and are now using a central dispatch center based in Tn. Some of the dispatchers/managers are out of touch with their customers and a lot of things are missed through emails. 

I have been with optimum since 2014.  The office staff in Allentown is great and they have tons of work.  I never made less than 73,000 per year....I came here from a company driving job they treat drivers great. No force dispatch, they don’t make you work weekends, if you need off they will even work with you if you don’t have vacation time yet.  Terminal is run by a young guy who always has time to talk to the drivers and find us the best job to make us happy and more money.  Benefits are good!!!!! Dental covered all but $80 of a root canal.  If work get slow he can send me to another place.  If I layover I get paid $70 per day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing I can't find nothing good about this job

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything this is a temp job your better off not working for them 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
What environment this is a temp agency the find you work  is like have 3 party  involved in getting work for you and your under contract so if the want to hire you on full time the have to pay off the 3rd party to keep  you on or they will let you goo not worth working for a temp agency if your a driver don't see the point of them

You start work here be ready to be thrown into the meat grinder. They expect a lot from one person in a branch. You don't meet your #'s be prepared to get a call to get tuned out. Door to door sales, seriously in 2020???There are better ways to get leads but no one listens and they know it all. Then again what do I know. Pay is good but not for the amount of work, it should be alittle higher then you would be able to retain personnel. Marketing, HR, KPI, Sales, Service, Recruiting.....1 man show don't need to say anymore.....

You might not know where you're going at first but the pay has always been really good and they try really hard to keep you in work with the help an encouragement that you need to succeed, communication with optimum logistics solutions has probably been there best shining 🌟 example of help which is actually hard to find These days! 

Up until the last five years was a great place to work.Now management changes your pay, and cuts your vacation pay in half. Health insurance was great but very expensive. If you are a new hire you shouldn't expect to work steady. They take,steal,and lie.They blame their customers for not paying them for the rates we agreed to .After working for them more than 20 years,the last five were not worthy of my effort.

Get loaded deliver product its pretty repetitious all day you don't really learn anything new management could care less if you're there or not the best thing about this job is your basically your own boss no one constantly watches you and you can get to sit in your truck over half the day they won't give employment verification without you or perspective employer paying for it .

I have nothing negative to say about my experience with optimum.  Hands down I had the best supervisor in Nashville,  Reed Bacon.  The opportunities were endless,  they will bend over backwards to help you any way possible and only expect strong honest work performance in return.Unfortunately, my time with then was at a terrible time in my personal life between divorce, death, moving and injuries. my

When I originally decided to work for this company I was told the company I was being placed at was a great place to work. Come to find out the place I'm at is alot of drama, no communication between management and crew. Along with a few other issues including the pay is not what I was told it would be.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible and the pay structure.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Making copies of your time sheet to fill out.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I found them to be very enjoyable.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It is, and was a great experience to have worked with optimum.
