I was so excited to work here and thought this would be where I retire from but during the interview process a bunch of things was left out and not told to me, was told that I would get to start whenever I wanted to but after I got started it was early mornings and I have kids and Monday-friday have to work 12 plus hours daily. The dispatchers that schedule and send the drivers around aren't even from Indiana and don't speak English so their sense of direction is terrible, they lie to there clients about how far away a driver is from there location causing a lot of missed appointments and then blame the driver for there mistakes on not dispatching within reasonable times, it overall ended terrible I would never recommend this company for any of my family members by how they are in general because a lot of the time there are clients that say for example a facility don't open till a certain time and they happen to be dropped off before they open and there is another trip scheduled for the driver to go elsewhere they expect to just make the driver to leave that member outside and take off and in cold temps I never felt right doing that. It was a lot of shady things that I didn't expect to happen because they make it all sound so good in the beginning just to get you reeled in and then that's when the bullcrap starts..they are very unorganized and a young company and unprofessional. I don't see them lasting very long out there with they have tons of other competition out there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible schedule and decent pay.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Third of the clients are very difficult to work with and have extensive criminal/drug histories. You must be on your gard at all times. False reporting and complaints happens from time to time. Caution ⚠ 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's easygoing and you get to self manage.  Good cars to drive and gas cards provided. 
Just be careful of talking about clients or other drivers.  Wise advise is to talk less and stay to yourself. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
3 to 4 pick ups a day. Sometimes more.  Hours vary and if your dependable they give you more and more hours. Lot's of drug clinic runs in the morning and more hospitals and doctors appointments as the day goes on. Usually gets slow by 3 to 5 pm.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and tired never get breaks

In the 2 years I have been here, the company has been very consistent in getting better and better in my time there. Very much appreciate how much the Driver Mangers and the office staff are able to help when I have questions on pay or time off, etc. Staff has become a bit younger since I’ve been there which I thought would be bad but they have some excellent young people working there. Lanes have become better and less wait times at location . Would recommend over my 3 other local companies I’ve driven for. Dallas is a big area for them as well. Also been very transparent about the Covid pandemic which is nice, good safety measures. 

This is an awesome group of people to work for, they welcomed me with open arms and it really does feel like one big family! From the owners of the company, to the dispatchers on down to the drivers!  The opportunity to make a decent paycheck is always available if you want to put in the work! They are very flexible in their schedules as long as notice is given ahead of time. If you love a team centered, family atmosphere come on over and work for Sky Transportation Services, LLC. You won't be disappointed!

Don't even apply here, the family who own this company claim to be Christ like. Too many times I worked with no lunch and worked 12 hours plus weekends.  Low pay and terrible management. They only care and protect all the family members at all cost. You will not advance in this company. When people quit here you are expected to take on more tasks while doing your normal job duties. When you get put on salary pay you get taken advantage of, they force you to do over time. I was so stressed out and my health declined the time I was working here. They lie to office admin workers and the drivers.  The only good supervisor is the CSR supervisor.

Crazy long hours. I didn’t mind that myself but most people don’t care for it. They pick and choose who gets to drive the longer distances, leave early or start late due to children when others do not get this same benefit, management, from the owner to the dispatchers to even some of the drivers are very unorganized and play favorites, never received a raise in the two plus years I worked there. 

This company do not work perfessionally with the community of helping the patients they provide transportation for, nor the driver's they hire. Company staff, dispatch & management is very disrespectful, rude, un-perfessional. Scheduled times are wrong half the time. This company is out of Connecticut & will tell you that they know the travel miles, times & how to get from point A to point B for a location/State they have never been to let alone driven. They falsely tell you that the job has bonuses, opportunities, benefits but don't, advertise a pay rate but it doesn't register that rate when you get paid.

They don’t have the drivers back and we all know Medicaid folks think they’re entitled and we work for them which is a load of poo, they are lucky to have us not the other way around as they think, so they complain to providers and can and do lie and unbelievably the providers listen to the free loaders and give the drivers poo… 
I drove way over the speed limit 100’s of times to get to the entitled critters on time while driving 50,000+miles per year never received a bonus except 100$ at xmas, no raises, no pat on the back… they truly DO NOT CARE about their drivers!

The most stressful would be working Monday through Saturday (half day).

I absolutely enjoyed working for Sky.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Mostly inspections of the trucks and PMs.  Any repairs are complete by the techs.  Any major repairs would be contracted out.
