Osterkamp Trucking Inc.

When I first joined the company there were a lot of opportunity and the culture was amazing. Felt like small family and had great support. Slowly, but surely Osterkamp Transportation Group had made some bad hiring decisions for leaders and management which lead to a lot of good people leaving and taking their talents elsewhere. In turn, making the work environment  hostile and extremely hard. Compensation is also very low in comparison to the work load. A few promises were made regarding compensation to many employees, but were never delivered. There is nepotism regarding the newly hired managers/leaders, not ideal for people who are looking for career advancement. This company is a perfect stepping stone, not a long time career.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Fairly easy flatbed loads. And didn't have to tarp that much, depended on weather.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Alot of big city deliveries, mainly in LA, and they will try and squeeze 2 loads out of you. During day hours is impossible.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its primarily Spanish speaking guys, but it wasn't too bad, just the pay doesn't match the difficulty of the stops. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Varies from from 10 to 13 hours. Depending on the loads.

The dispatch or so called dispatcher has no clue of what they’re doing honestly a monkey could do a better job of dispatching, the terminal manager does not care about the drivers always making false promises and always going out to bat for the dispatchers even though he clearly knows that they’re not capable of doing a good job. So I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go to work here . False advertising too , they have no flatbed work out of tracy and the dispatcher from The Richmond account pathetic!!! Stay away from here until the hire better dispatchers....

What is the best part of working at the company?
When you get your lunch break, they give you one hour for lunch. That’s the only best thing of working there.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Supervisor and boss company doesn’t admire your work such pay from experience

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very poorly they only check up on people when one of the employees gets hurt

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Trying to make it through the day

They treat you like a person, not an employee. That is reflected in how management and dispatch approaches the employees and drivers, no yelling and screaming about challenges over the road, just collaboration, communication and ideas. Company also has great benefits, 401k, health, life ins, and monthly safety & performance bonuses. They also have newer model trucks! Awesome company to work for!! A++

I really enjoy working here. Its a family owned company and everyone is very welcoming and nice.  There is room for advancement if your dedicated you will get an opportunity. Managers are all very helpful and make working here very easy. I must  say working here with everyone is very easy. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. I do see a lot of long term employees here, also you get a bonus every month just for staying in compliance of Safety!!

Osterkamp takes care of their people.  I'm impressed by the average tenure of our management team and employees.  Its very common to speak with folks that have 10+ years with the company...than says something...obviously it's a place to call home!

Safety is our #1 priority!!! Our drivers appreciate that part of the culture.  We ALWAYS support them to get the job done safely.
