Regional Express Inc.

The company used to be a good company to work for. Then a new manager was brought in “to help get things in order”. Things went south after the new manager came to the company. Multiple good quality drivers that had been with the company for years started quitting and/or being fired because they didn’t fit in his idea for the company. We were being told to rush through our route and not take our breaks. That it was required we clock out at 7:50pm and if we didn’t we could possibly be fired or not given routes on days we were scheduled. As well they started over hiring drivers so we would only be allowed to work 3 days. Most of us were hired as full time employees. Now you can only get 3 days max due to them not wanting you to have overtime. Even if you went over 15/20 minutes over you would be penalized by not getting a route on a day you were scheduled. They wouldn’t even tell you that you weren’t going to have a route until you drove all the way to the station and there were no more routes to give out. It got to the point you were begging for a route just to be able to provide for yourself/family. I would not recommend working for this company. 

This job is great if you like working solo and staying active. It can be intense. Rain or shine, you’ll still have to work. You’ll often feel rushed to meet strict time expectations. Lunchtime feels short, and you’ll often find yourself just snacking when you can. Communication from management can be inconsistent, and expectations change frequently. There’s little recognition for those who consistently perform well, and praise or rewards rarely go to the people who truly deserve it. Management also tends to get frustrated if you go into overtime (40+ hours), even when it’s unavoidable due to route volume. There’s also very little opportunity for career growth. It’s a great job if you’re in college just trying to get by, but people of all ages (21 and up) work here. If you can handle pressure, adapt quickly, and don’t mind being pushed to keep up, it’s steady work with consistent pay.


At most Dsps the expectations are high and you need to perform, however this dsp is very much so about their bottom line and one mistake will get you a write up. They also don’t provide you with extra training if you mess up and think that you need it. Ultimately I left because of things within and outside of their control. They overload you with packages and tell you to perform, could be them could be Amazon, but if you don’t meet their extremely high quotas even in exhausting heat you’re reminded you can be fired for not being fast enough, asked if you’re sure this is the job for you etc instead of figuring out the problem, they do not offer daily snacks and water, they don’t pay weekly I waited 3 weeks for my checks to start weekly and it’s not a great place to work, the culture is very much segregated and there’s no way they don’t have a really high turn over rate. The money can be good if you can endure the physical and mental beating all the time but it’s ultimately not worth it 

The leadership is firm in their expectations but always consistent and fair, creating a structured environment where everyone knows what is expected of them to achieve team success. What truly sets them apart from other DSP's is their commitment to employee development — from ongoing training courses to a strong focus on safety, which they not only prioritize but incentivize. During my time here (a little over 1 year) I witnessed several drivers be promoted to trainer and/or a driver manager role. Hard work never goes unnoticed here; promotions are earned on work ethic/merit and celebrated, making it clear that dedication and performance are genuinely valued. It's a place where you can grow, be challenged, and feel appreciated every step of the way. Earlier this year, the owner and management team even conducted a car-give away that was open to team members that were experiencing transportation challenges. Not like most DSP's I've worked with in the past by far. 

A typical day is a day of the unexpected. You won't know your route until It's time to load out, you wont know if your packages are ready until you are on the loading dock, you don't know what obstacles you'll face on the route, and you won't know if you'll do more work after you're done with your route.
I've learned how to organize and take things into my own hands.
I don't always agree with management, but I don't know everything that goes into their side of things so I can't say much.
Everyone tries to be friendly, but sometimes there's friction between different job departments.
It's hard to determine what the hardest part of the job is because it just depends on the day, but right now I'd say the summer heat. The vans like to turn off the ac when exiting the vehicle so it always stays hot.
The best part to me is staying in shape.

A typical day at work is pretty routined. Stand up to start us off. Stand up is where the managers go over standard rules, safety tips and occasionally give rewards to drivers to show appreciation for their hard work. Then we’re given our keys and devices to start the day. We load out and get on the road. Management does their best to make sure everyone is being safe out on the road and finding different ways to make sure drivers are seen; doing their best to let us know we can always communicate if we have any issues. They’ve done a decent job at finding ways to make our jobs a little easier. What I’ve learned from working here is better time management, organization and being aware goes a long way. The job isn’t that hard just a lot of work but if you’re up for it you’ll fly through it with ease. To me, the most enjoyable part about the job is the scenery. Being able to see different parts of Georgia.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was nothing good about that company. The use you up and take advantage of there employees 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working for the company requires you to have bo form of social life. They will tell you to work 18 hours 6 days a week and if anybody calls out it's your responsibility to cover the shift

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Isolated to the point of the boss not taking responsibility for anything and the worker is expected to take full responsibility for everything

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
4 45 am to 8 30 pm. You work until the job is done. The boss doesn't care what's going on as long as you just do the job. No respect

Amazon has a delivery goal of 20 to 25 packages an hour. So if you want to meet that you had better be running to deliver thoae packages. If you aren't meeting that pace, Regional will give you counciling and then writeups for not meeting the pace. And then they will just not give you a route to work so you won't get hours. They don't tell you that when you start or in the training, just start not giving you routes after the first week or so. When I signed on they were offering a sign on bonus but when it came time to pay they just acted like it wasn't a thing and said they would look into it and get back to me.

First to start off with a meeting then we load the truck and go out to begin driving.
I've learned to be organized be more focused on my surroundings. 
Management is great they are friendly and very helpful. 
Workplace is very diverse there's A lot of different cultures and they are very friendly from the ones that I have met. 
That depends there's a lot of different things to go on in a day to make it hard or easy like finding an address that is hidden looking for a place to park for businesses to deliver their packages of some places people want you to do some odd things but you have to pick the safest that's for you.
Meeting different people that's enjoyable learning new things coworkers having great conversation is always enjoyable and at the end of the some week they give out prizes that's my experience so far.

A typical day as an Amazon delivery associate starts with  mourning briefing , followed by loading packages at the warehouse, you will start to delivering to homes and businesses. I learned time management, route optimization, and how to handle pressure during peak hours. Management was generally supportive, providing guidance and tools to succeed, though expectations were high. The workplace culture was fast-paced and teamwork-oriented, with fellow drivers often sharing tips and encouragement. The hardest part of the job was handling a heavy load during bad weather or traffic delays. The most enjoyable part was the independence on the road and the satisfaction of completing all deliveries efficiently.
