Robertsons Ready Mix

This company is by far the absolute worst I have ever worked for. I made myself available 313 days out of the year for many years with this company and essentially gave them my life. I was never late, never called off, served this company and our customers throughly, with absolute excellence every day of my employment. I drove the mixer and for about 8 months, I reported issues in my driver log citing that the truck I was assigned has a very high spill risk. I reported it consistently to the point where my manager was actually annoyed with me and told me to stop writing it up. I had no choice but to continue driving the truck, and I spilled twice over the course of those 8 months. I was abruptly fired after the second incident for violating a safety issue, despite constantly reporting to the company exactly what would happen if I continued to drive the vehicle I was assigned. They ignored my warnings and fired me when it happened. I am now unemployed, and they refused to provide unemployment while I try to get back on my feet. I made many sacrifices in my life for the good of this company and they would never do the same for their drivers. Most drivers in this company do not stop for breaks because management frowns upon it. This company has absolutey zero concern for the people that keep the company afloat and competitive. For the good of my fellow truck drivers, DO NOT WORK FOR ROBERTSON'S READY MIX.

Robertson's Ready Mix in general to me is a great company to work for. It is definitely not perfect. No place is. Before considering working at Robertson's, take a real inventory of your life and circumstances and determine if Robertson's is a good fit for you and your family. If you want to work and make good $$$, there is great opportunity for that here. If you value family time more, this may not be the best choice. If you're a single person with only you as your responsibility, this would be a perfect opportunity to build your life as you see fit financially or otherwise, before starting a family. Limitless opportunities. Overall, with anything in life, it's what you make it. Have a positive attitude and positive will return to you. Have a negative outlook and most days will be a challenge and stressful for you. Ultimately, you're the only one who controls that ....MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU, DON'T LET IT WORK YOU!!
Peace and good luck in your endeavors. Robertson's needs good drivers, there's plenty of hours and work here currently!!

I worked the transport side of this company, i.e. driving the powder, bottom dump trucks, and it was a chill job to have. You drive 90% of the time and do maybe an hour of total work each day. You work 6 12's with Sunday being your only day off and there are many day and night shifts to choose from. The trucks constantly break down and the mechanics don't do anything to fix the issues, they just mickey mouse them to get them back on the road. management are cool dudes but they are lazy and won't do anything to help you out unless you're someone who is a . The pay is awful for the days and hours worked and teacher's pet. the benefits are decent. This is a starter company to get CDL experience then leave for greener pastures. Another good thing here is that they don't care when you call off. Other companies will take your sick time or vacation time away for calling off but here, they just excuse it. If you want to use sick or vacation that is up to you, they won't force you to use it. You deliver the products to company plants so there is always going to be fuel available and breakroom/restroom (closed at nights for a select few) to use. No room to grow unfortunately.

This company takes full advantage of their employees and favoritism is a huge problem here at this company. This job doesn’t have job security so meaning NO UNION! As soon as you mention about this company becoming a UNION so that we can get paid fairly you are automatically treated differently! Managers don’t give a dam about you or your family. This company only gives you 3 days of sick days per year!
They pay you your vacation upfront on your anniversary. They don’t pay double after working 12 hours! Which is against the law! If you have overtime accumulated and you miss a day, they take 8 hours of your hard earned overtime and apply it as regular pay for that day you miss. Which again it’s against the law. This company is for people who don’t have families and don’t have any care for their families. All this company cares about it making their money and don’t DO NOT care about their employees. before anyone applies to this company just know you are signing off your life to them and they OWN you after applying. 

This company is a joke. Management will not communicate with you unless you're doing something wrong. Dispatch plays favorites and will punish you with terrible runs. They are instructed to be rude to drivers. You will work long hours, have no family life and be given no time off. 

You will beg for holiday time / Saturdays. Even if you give ample notice they will tell you "You need to check to make sure someone else didn't get the day". I have put in for time off weeks in advance only to be told that I was supposed to come in anyway. 

6 Day work week. But the work on Saturdays often isn't worth the time to come in. Have had Saturdays where they give me 1 load and sent me home. So you spend 4 - 6 hours on a saturday for a $36 - $50 load. That's assuming they didn't send the whole area to the same plant. Then you'll spend an extra hour + with no pay. 

You get paid by the load. Unless your truck breaks down. They will encourage you to speed to get an extra load. And well try to force you to go over your hours. They have no clue about federal hour requirements for truckers. This company is pathetic. RUN AWAY! 

My experience at Robertson’s ready mix has been the absolute worse job I ever had.when I first started I was so excited to get my CDL and drive a mixer that rapidly declined after training.they give you a beat up truck and force you to work on the early start list you have randoms start times 9:40pm 10pm 11 pm don’t think it’s a 6am to 3pm type job it’s not management doesn’t care about your Saftey neither they want you to keep the trucks clean but they dirty them again after loading you up so you waste your time cleaning your truck sometimes you will come in at a normal time 6 am but they will tell you to go home at 9 to come back in at 10pm at night you have to take NyQuil to go to sleep at 3 o’clock in the afternoon to be at work at 11pm just so you don’t fall asleep at the wheel like most drivers do  it’s not worth it guys (I know what you are thinking) Oh hey but on the bright side! NO there is no bright side here  

Good place to work if you love lots of OT and working 6 days a week. Your experience will differ from plant to plant because some plants are better than others to work out of. Managers leave you alone for the most part unless you give them a reason to bug you. Most of your coworkers can be really nice and help you learn everything you need to know but most lack patience. Work days start at different times of the morning but during the summer month you do A LOT of night pours, so you might have to come in at 9pm or 2am or anyime in between. They try to make sure you get enough time off so that your well rested but 99% you won't be and you'll be tired all night while your working.  As long as you can learn quickly and you don't mind work A LOT of hours and 6 days a week then Robertson's is a great place for you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I wouldn't advise anyone to this company favoritism amongst drivers no set hours no lunch breaks you have to eat at the job sites if stop for water dispatch is calling in on you low pay compared to all other concrete companies in vegas

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No set hours low pay cameras everywhere clock out room inside outside of your truck senior drivers and certain races go home early if African American expect to be watched come in early last to leave 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very stressful no respect for drivers gossip about other drivers other drivers calling in on you

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Miserable never a good day there your always at fault when driving for them

I came in early learned everything I could. Asked them for more overtime and they told me I wasn’t signed off to drive on the utility truck to drive. Next week the lead tube tech goes on vacation (really got his call from the union and not coming back) and they threw me in the truck   I bent the mirror housing and got fired over a part that I would’ve paid for out of my pocket (literally under $200) and according to them I wasn’t signed off to drive. The lube tech who trained me already said the certain bosses treat techs like trash but now I see first hand because one acted like everything off and on my way home got a phone call about them letting me go. Everyone in the office and the big boss man that seen potential in me coming everyday for a job we’re nothing but professional though.

Company offers great hours, decent pay, room for advancement, safety bonuses, family picnic with raffles and prizes, they do bbqs for employees at least once a month or have donuts. Your start and end time varies daily and you get your work schedule the night before, its supposed to be out by 6pm but often its 7:30pm by the time the schedule is available. Its long hours during the summer and youre off when it rains. You work 6 days with Sunday off, can work up to 70 hours a week during the busy season. Overall if you are a hard worker you will get the hours you want in order to provide for your family. As with all companies there are great guys to work with and a few that make it difficult.
