Pinch Transport

First off the hiring process even if you’re working local is going to be that of an over the road job. Expect to spend hours going through videos and paperwork.

As for the work itself this is one of those local jobs that somehow manages to be worse than being over the road. As in you have no control over your schedule, expect lots of miscommunications and being left in the dark. Oh you thought you finished all your deliveries and pick ups for the day, never mind stack even more on that flatbed trailer. 14 hour or more days are common practice and because of all these reasons they are constantly short staffed and trying to hire new drivers.

It’s a reason they’re always hiring because no one stays long. Driving rates are horrible & it makes no sense to have your hazmat/tanker endorsement because you get paid the same as a person that doesn’t have it. They expect you to drive hazardous loads at the rate of a driver that doesn’t has the endorsement. Their safety team doesn’t know anything about safety, just micromanage you via camera. You share a sleeper with other drivers throughout the company. Which makes it unhealthy/uncomfortable to sleep during your layover. I’ve been driving trucks for 13yrs & Pinch is by for the worst company I’ve ever worked for.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get it done and hurry up and wait

When things are going well, it is was a great company to work for; until it wasn't.

started out working every week would take a run and be back home within the week, take the weekend off and then back at it the following week. then it was going out still once a week but might have a full week off not just the weekend. by the time i left it was 1 week on 4 weeks off and that didn't include time sitting unpaid at terminals waiting to head back home.

Teams get priority so if you are a solo driver expect to wait more than others 

My experience was horrible. Main issue was with  management being bias. Its pointless to make complaints because they will not listen or escalate the issue. No investigation will be done because it a family business. Definitely you will see retaliation  if it dont go their way. What I learned from this company is to stay in your lane otherwise if you dont they will find a way to get you term.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Easy never had issues because of my work ethics.

I like the environment at Pinch. They respond quickly when issues come up with the trucks and trailers. I like that the work is steady and I can count on the hours. Everyday is different which keeps things from getting boring and I like that it is a Monday thru Friday job. I really get to have a life away from work which is not normal in the trucking industry.

Great place to start and learn the Logistics of the trucking business. Very family oriented environment. Must be ready to take on many tasks and be a team player at all times to ensure customers receive the best customer services so they use trucking services again.

Pinch works well with you so that you feel like part of the team (not just a number). I enjoyed going to work, and went home with a smile each day. Your day may be long, but you are home each night. Dispatch works well with you, and is able to help out when you need it. They pay is among one of the better companies I have been with. I had no issues working here.

I worked there for almost three years and all the staff was friendly and also professional with a great atmosphere at workside. My duties were picking up containers from the port and taking them to the customers, empty or loaded container depending on customers need. Monday to friday having weekends off was good
