ProDrivers

I worked with them a little under one month had two assignments one of them was 2 days.And the other one was approximately 2 weeks . Then I was off for a week for Pro Driver. so I ran a couple loads for my former boss. So the following Monday tortilla King wanted me to run a load for him just for that day so I did the contact person at tortilla King is who contacted me and that was the way it has been the whole time so I get a phone called Tuesday Morning from the management at Pro Driver and he said that he had not received a timesheet  for the previous week . And I said I didn't work for Pro driver that week I work for my old boss and he was mad or seem to be disturbed I said you're acting like you're mad he said I freaking im very disrespectful  what to do or what he wanted done the three to four weeks that I work for him wasn't that way. He was anextremely unprofessional and raising his voice and I did not have proper communication and guidance from management
My problem is not with Pro Driver as a corporation it was definitely the management I believe you treat people like you want to be treated and I believe management should treat you with respect and take responsibility for the lack of  communication. Or any of the future employees management wants you to call on a daily basis and it is simple if you know that's what they want and if you're actually doing work for someone else it's obvious management does not care for that they wanted to know whether I was working for them or the other company. Don't let this stop you from working with Pro Driver I just wanted it to be known that the management in Wichita Kansas was very unprofessional

In a typically work day was very enjoyable, I have never work in a office envirnoment where you like going to work everyday. People are nice professional, down to Earth, Easy going, and very helpful with a caring atitude. I have learned alot on how to handle drivers problems, clients issues, and utilize my computer knowledge with personnel appreciating my work and knowledge. Management was a good place to work with, they had a caring attitude along with a open door policy which they utilize very well which gave driver and other emplyee a sense of being their when help was needed.The co-workers help each other out in a teamwork effort with no regard of work load and sense of your job you do it attiude.Everyone's work naturally has a load to do but ,if you need help no problem attiude is always present. The hardest part of this job was to make sure that all drivers were on a work assignment provided that the client had work for them And the sense that no security of your job was present. If theirs is little no no profit or revenue, you can lose your job as fast as you go it. .And the most enjoyable part was the sense that they relied on your presense and appreciation of your work was a great modivation to go to work daily.

I've been with the Phoenix branch now for 6 months.  The girls are great and very accommodating. I had a couple of bad deals but it didn't have anything to do with this company, it was who I was placed with!  Fortunately it was worked through easily.  Sometimes you have to go through a couple of different placements til you find the right spot. I'm currently placed with a company  that has a great work ethic,  doesn't pay much,  but has lots of overtime. I will say,  at first I didn't know how it was going to go down working for this company,  but the people at my branch are fantastic.  They can be fun and pleasant,  but all business too. The place I work is a lumber yard delivering prefab homes.  The guys at this business are top notch and I look forward to going there everyday.  There are 2 other prodriver guys there and they enjoy it too!  (That's right girls,  we compare notes) :-) If your in Phoenix area looking for work,  I would suggest giving them a try. It won't hurt, and I'm about as picky as it gets work wise. I don't take just anything.  If I don't like it,  I won't even show up.  Just make sure you tell then what you're looking for.  No one is forced to do anything they don't want.  Good luck!

They seem to be able to find you work but some clients they use are sketchy and don't really care about people! Twice they (pro-drivers) have done what I call the bait and switch. they have a board on which all the clients/jobs are listed for everyone to see including the hourly pay amount. When you say yes I'd like to do a particular job you see listed for lets say 19 per hr. Suddenly they tell you it's only 18 per hr. and that the amount on their board was mistakenly written. Which would be fine if it had not happened 2 times in a row with 2 jobs. Seems dishonest and used car dealership type bait and switch to me. Like once you agree to do the assignment they take an extra dollar more out for  the company. The clients who use pro drivers in the St. Louis area at least the class b clients are jobs nobody seems to want, they are deceptive to pro drivers and don't really say what's expected or the equipment (your own personal cell phone and minutes) to do the job. Is this a place for people who can't their own job on their own? Or is it a place for the misfits with problem driving records?

You have to be ready to go on a moments notice.  You have to manage your sleep and manage your availability (i.e. You may have been off for 24 hours but if you have been up all day and are ready for bed when they call and need you immediately...don't trick yourself into thinking you can be safe driving for the next 11 hours.)  You must be proactive with the team at ProDrivers...they have so many drivers that often the person in front of them is the person who gets the work first.  It's just a fact of life and nothing personal.  They need to fill jobs as quickly as possible and you need to find a way to keep yourself everpresent on their minds.  Its a good place to get experience in different styles of trucking and find out what you like...and what you don't like.  Be prepared for the customers to expect more from you than they have contracted for with ProDrivers.  If the customer wants more...they need to pay more.  ProDrivers is a good company and I would work for them again if my life dictated the need.

I worked for ProDrivers for 10 years.  I started out as a Recruiter and advanced to Opening Team Specialist..  There was no typical day because in transportation every day, every telephone call presents a challenge.  I learned everything I know today about DOT Compliance, Drivers, and dispatch.  I had no transportation experience when I went to work.  I hit the ground running and learned so much.  The management team were exceptional.  They believed in promoting from within.  They gave us the tools be be successful.  I worked with so many people and all the employees were on the same team.  We challenged each other and celebrated each other success.

The job was not hard for me, towards the end the travel schedule got more hectic.  I was on a plane every Monday and came home on Friday for the last year.  

The most enjoyable part of the job was my interaction with drivers, staff, and customers..

I have now Delt with Prodrivers in Phoenix a Northern California and Phoenix! I will for ever be thankful for what I have got an my achievement here in Phoenix after coming back! Pro drivers welcomed me here an always found me schedules that worked for me and my daughter! Doing this profession being a single mom is hard to do the balancing they found me places that worked when I was in cali I never had that mom time with my daughter so to me that got me the impossible and for that I am greatly appreciative ! I know me and my daughter love what you have given us and I know I have had my ups and downs an drivers as a whole we are a different breed of people so to be able to deal with us not only on are good days but are bad so amazing so thank you ! Also thank you for not only caring about but when my daughter was sick you still called to check on me and anything I needed So you really are great and amazing people One Driver thinks you are greatest 

Please do yourself a favor and avoid ProDrivers if you are looking for a branch manager position or want to be a recruiter. I was shocked every day at the unprofessional way that management treated the employees when asking questions on day to day operations. The operations management team has no idea how to do anything in a branch and we never had a visit from him. He held over the phone meetings where he preached to us like we were in church and told the same stories over and over again but yet if we asked him a question on any procedures he would not reply. If we said we didn't know how to do something we would be attacked by his management team in Memphis. The management team in Memphis was horrible to deal with a ran off most of the business that we managed to sign up. 
Unprofessional, lie about compensation, bully coworkers, and hire drivers that have no business being on the road.

Now in my 17th year of driving in this crazy industry. ProDriver's has been my Stable Platform from which to use "All" of my Endorsements (Haz, Tank, Doubles, TWIC), drive different equipment, stay current with industry trends and get a true feel of different companies and carriers. I started driving on and off with ProDriver's in 2012. I would take an OTR, Regional or Local position, leave ProDriver's and return to ProDriver's if the company did not work out. I've worked Raleigh, Charlotte, and Dallas locations. Hands down, ProDriver's is the Best Temp Driver Company to work with different companies to get inside knowledge how that company operates. If you don't like the company, tell ProDriver's and they will put you with another company.

You can easily manage your work/off days and know your schedule for the entire year. If you want overtime it’s easy to get. The work is fairly easy but when it gets busy it’s busy. I do a little of everything but the downside of this is I don’t think there is any room for advancement. Pay is set at $280/day which means no OT pay. So if you’re doing a lot of OT don’t expect to see the pay for it. This is my biggest problem. There is no onsite manager for ProDrivers. So some people are very lazy. Some drivers go missing throughout the night. Some drivers are hours late to work and some drivers don’t even show. If you’re all making the same pay it’s hard to keep the energy up knowing there is no penalty for this behavior while others show up on time willing and ready to work to get the job done.
