Sierra Forest Products

The plus side of working here is that they compensate their drivers really well. They provide an above average hourly wage and also provide additional stipends for safety bonuses and revenue sharing which is something I never experienced in trucking before.  The routes are easy to get the hang of and they take pride to ensure that drivers know what they are doing and give great communication on how to deliver their cargo efficiently. The downside is that it can get too corporate here and when things go even slightly awry you get a storm of useless feedback and annoying phone calls from sales reps trying to justify their “superior” status.  Some of the management I had to deal with were quite rude and unnecessarily obnoxious at times. But…if you voiced your concerns then they would at least try to make an effort to address it.  Overall, pretty good job…would work there again if I lived in the area. 

A day at Sierra for me was walking into a place with 10 things to do at ounce. From tracking down product, to unloading, to checking it in, to putting it away, to pulling orders, to staging orders, to shipping orders, to training other employees, to checking their work, to appeasing and catering to drivers to keep them happy and off the managers case, to loading product to driver specifications, to strapping down and securing their loads, etc. I work at a high pace which allowed for me to accomplish what I did there; it was very rewarding. Working graveyard began to take a toll on my family life.

A typical day: You have to wake up at 2am and get to work by 5am. You have to pretrip your truck for 30 min (Minimum) as per company rules You will have 9 stops in Indiana or Michigan. Makes for a long day.

What I have learned: Don't rush to this company 

Management: Does not care about anyone outside of office

Workplace Culture: Sales people are Gods all others have no say.

The hardest part of the job: Management and Sales people

The most enjoyable part of the job? : Leaving and getting that 6 to 8 hour break before having to do it all over again for 4 more days.

No seniority whatsoever. The owner is a greedy brownoser who dosent give a darn about the employees. They were bought out by Sierra a few years ago and the owner still tries to run it his sloppy way. This company is a joke. And if you’re a faithful person who dosent like to jump ship like myself think twice. You will get 50 cent raises every other year. 

When I worked at Sierra Forest Products I really enjoyed the work.  I worked really hard on trying to improve the work space and pull nice material for our customers.  The Gm there was young but very smart and had a lot of good ideas,  the guy who runs the office was awesome.  He was very helpful.  I recommend working for this compass it’s a good place to be.

Great place to work, I worked with them part time and loved every min of it. They will promote from within and compensate you well for your efforts, I had other career path I was working on so this was a part time job for me. They treated me just as well as I could ask for.

Best company I ever worked for. Big enough to get things done  small enough to care about customers and their employees. They'll train you as far as ware house work goes, drivers need previous experience but not a lot.

Needs better communication skills and better training for the new workers at all times. They could also use more workers during graveyard shift to get more work done.
