I worked for a  O/O who had 30 trucks signed on to A@ R..  over all it was a fairly good job.  It’s just. We were subjected  to all A @ R policies.   But we didn’t get the extra stuff.   Like layover break down vacation holiday. Etc. 
There is quite a bit expected. 
For example.   Most  loads are vacuum loads.  So you had to load your self off a rail car.  Which  really wasn’t that hard.  Just some of the plants we went in were a real pain.  Some  didn’t have scales onsite.  So when you thought you had a load. You would have to unhook all you hoses. Pick up all your stuff. Go 8 mikes to a scale.  Then if you didn’t have enough product  then you have to go back  hook all back up put some more go back to scale.   Or if too much. Go blow some off go Bach yo scale.   This  process could take several hours.    (Which I was only paid 25 dollars. To do.   The company driver. Get more. I think 40 or 50.)  Then if weight ok still go back to plant to get BOL.   Then after all that. Go drive 600-700 miles.     I was  mostly on a dedicated run. But sometimes I Have to be out in the “System “.   Which most A and R Drivers  were.   You would. Just go here. Unload. Get trailer washed.  Get loaded  near as possible. Go  somewhere else’s.   Never knew where you might be.  
 I did a lot of running on recap.    When you got ready to  go home they would get you home. And they  did have some local jobs. The leadership. Was all real nice. And they didn’t. Bug you much.

If you are not in cool with dispatch then your check will reflect it. They hire inexperienced dispatchers who literally come with no experience. The work on some loads got so cheap that they would want you to preload a trailer and drop and hook the next day for 850 dollars and upper management will ask you why are you turning down loads, it's because I can't pay for a truck on loads like that. You go out long haul and no back hauls at all. I didn't get a back haul since June of 2022 and I left in Feb hoping that things would pick up into at least pre covid rates and work. When you call for work for the proceeding week they tell you call back and when you call back they only have "two loads" for the entire week and no work until two weeks out. The dispatchers think you're lying about something wrong with the trailers like you don't want to make money. You have to call and question payroll every single week since they changed pay to two weeks in a hole. And you don't find outthat you don't get paid for certain things until you get your settlement sheet on Thursday a week before you get paid. Of course dispatch will say your getting 4.50 a mile or something but they never add in deadhead miles from the same trip you drove 1500 miles one way which ends up being 3k miles and cuts your profit in half. 



Bad management. Rude employees. Annual inspections every service. Annual as in yearly they make you do one every service and wonder why trucks and trailers are out of service. Get ready to have your work double if not triple checked. They expect perfection in everything you do and if it's not done perfectly then it's your butt. Computer system for charging parts and work is very hard to work with. Spend 10 mins fixing something and 30 mins on the computer trying to charge your time and parts to the truck. For the love of god don't make a mess while your working. Constantly being watched criticizing. Short lunch and 15 min breaks. Sorry if you smoke which most mechanics do. Only 2 15 mins breaks. No smoking in a 4 bay shop with doors constantly open. Very hot during the summer. Only a few small pedestal fans. Get ready to spend 2 weeks to get hired. 2 physicals a drug test and background plus a mvr check. Spend 2 days on a computer. At least you get paid for it. Truck drivers are kings around there. Drivers are treated like gold . They want something you better drop what your doing and do it. Example taking off brand new steer tires and replacing them with different ones cause the driver didn't like them. Had to come in on a Saturday to do that. 

Work begin at 7:30 as a logistics coordinator. Management of 15 customer accounts from inventory, rail car movement, shipments, load discrepancy, driver and warehouse scheduling. Diverse environment included, warehouse manager, operations manager, another CST, dispatcher, shipping clerk. I learned that through team work, and commitment to see the job through makes for a less stressful, productive workplace. I worked closely with the other CST, warehouse supervisor, shipping clerk railroad employees and dispatch, the importance of accurate documentation and direction was given to company and third party drivers upon arrival and prior to arrival through dispatch was imperative to avoid late or missed appointments or cross contamination of material. The hardest part of the day was knowing when it was safe to quit to ensure that a missed delivery or informed communication was consistent throughout the evening for changes, delays of shipments. I enjoyed the work because of the day to day changes and improvements of learning new things that could make for a better transition next time.

Amazing place to work, and amazing team. My loads were lined up really well and there were always miles to be run. If I needed to be home for anything they'd go out of their way to make it happen. The freight never really slows down so if you wanna run you'll run. If you want to be home more often they will accommodate for that as well. Pay is good and best of all they have a loyalty bonus which is a nice little something to work towards each year. Now this job isn't for lazy folks and at first it's gonna seem a bit much to deal with your first few months but when you get in a good routine of loading and offloading you'll do it with ease. Plus it's nice to get some excersize after sitting all day driving. I worked for another bulk tanker company which was amazing as well but the one thing I wish quantix had a more of that my previous company had were pneumatic diverters equipped on the trailers. That right there would increase retention rate and make the driveres job a lot easier by 100%. I've been told quantix has only a few of trailers equipped as of right now and hopefully more will be outfitted soon.

A typical day at the office was very busy. I had a lot of paper work to go through as well as many reports I was responsible for putting together. One of the most important parts of my job was catching other peoples mistakes. Along with my many tasks, I was also responsible for scaling truck drivers in and out. I would then either call someone to verify the driver is in the correct location, with needed material, properly and safely ready to start loading his truck, or I would do it myself. I learned a lot about different machines that would be useful to me in future jobs, and also a little something about the corporate world. I learned the proper ways to act and communicate around and with my coworkers and superiors. I learned that 12 hours of work everyday is manageable, and that 60 hour weeks are on honorable way to earn a living no matter what the profession. Management was strict, but when a mistake can cost that much it is easy to see why. My coworkers, many of them, were hard working. They didn't come in to pick up a paycheck on Friday, they came in to earn their paychecks. That is something I value and will take with me to future employment opportunities.

I came to this company  with 23 years of experience  in trucking  and yard jockeying The people that are there has no experience  in trucking on any level. They were just doing the job. Was just put in the truck cause they had no one to do the job. I came  there 
 displaying  how to effectively  do the job as its supposed  to be done. Without having the wrong loads loaded or shipped . But  supervisor was set in  his  ways on how they done things and would not listen  to a better and effective  way of doing the job the way it was supposed  to be done not the way it was being done. But would not allowed  to  do the job how the job is done correctly when real experience  is at play. Pride,ego's. And didnt want to be upstaged  by a real driver. So they operate  as they  been  doing. back to there unsuccessful ways of shipping wrong loads and loading wrong trailers. But again I digress 

When I first started my position in the safety administration department I was really afraid that I wasn't going to get it. Because there is alot of paperwork. And alot of remembering. Once you start getting the hang of it, it definitely gets a little more relaxed. I genuinely enjoy my job but I think it's my immediate co-workers that make the day. They are all so family oriented so they know just how important it is to not work all night and day so you can get home to your family. My boss has been very understanding to my home life. I would recommend the job but only to people whom have thick skin and can honestly take some constructive criticism and of you can't own up to your mistakes and acknowledge your mess ups this isn't the job for you. But overall the company is great. And they are growing so there is room for advancement

Where to begin, communication is the worse! No raises but more work is given instead. Management has 10 people per roll, Driver's are just numbers to them literally. Favoritism is HIGH! what's the point of HR if manager's, supervisors still bully their employees. Meetings are ridiculously long with no point. Employee's are looked down on, no team participation any where, you have to cover your A or they will trample you and put blame on you for something you didn't do. No sense of accountability when it comes to being wrong, specially from management. They plant seeds against locations and talk about their own employees and managers behind their backs. I can keep going but I am tired, definitely regret ever working for them, and will not recommend anyone to apply whether it be office employees or drivers.

The actual job itself was fun, but the office politics was too much! This place is like being in a bad high school. I enjoyed dealing with the drivers and helping them out. The managers are really sly and are always talking negatively about everyone. The managers also use their job as a dating place. If you're a woman, be careful because they WILL make unwanted moves on you! They think because their position is above you, they can do this. And don't bother going to the HR department with your claim because the person in charge there has NO idea what to do about it! She won't even take notes when you tell her about all the incidents. The only thing she'll say to you is "do you have proof?" It's unbelievable!
