Spur Logistics

My time at Spur was better than some of the previous DSPs I’ve worked for, and I want to acknowledge that. However, like many workplaces, there is a clear sense that if you’re not part of the preferred inner circle, you will not receive the same treatment as those who are.

A specific example is uniforms—these seem to be provided primarily to employees who have closer personal relationships with management. This favoritism creates an environment where fairness and consistency are lacking, and it becomes obvious who receives preferential treatment.

The overall atmosphere is not particularly healthy. Management appears inexperienced, and the lack of professional leadership affects the entire workplace culture. Because certain individuals align more closely with the existing culture or image that leadership favors, they are given more flexibility and benefits than others. At this point, it feels less like a structured work environment and more like a culture built around who fits in socially.

If someone is comfortable with that type of environment or can adapt to that culture, they may find the job manageable. However, if you prefer to simply come to work, do your job, and go home without navigating unnecessary favoritism or social dynamics, this may not be the right fit. There are plenty of other workplaces that allow employees to focus on their responsibilities without dealing with these issues.

You do not wanna work here at all. The pay is terrible for the amount of work that they put on you and if you finish your route early, you are rewarded with more work because the people who don’t do their job you have to go and rescue they say that if you rescue you will get an efficiency bonus, which means if you get off early, you’ll be paid up until 10 o’clock even if you get off at like 5. But that’s not true. If you get off early, they make you turn around and go rescue someone else that obviously doesn’t do their job to the fullest of their ability. The pay is not worth the amount of headache you have to deal with they say you get a 30 minute and 2 15 minutes but you don’t even have time to stop and use the bathroom. People are urinating in bottles because they don’t have time to stop and use the bathroom so then you have to drive around all day in a van that smells like urine. The people here that work here are so blind that they will criticize you if you try to call out anybody in management for what they put you through. Amazons policy that is that if weather gets bad, the vans are supposed to be grounded and if weather continues to be bad, the vans are to come back but as for spur logistics they don’t follow that if it’s bad you still get out there and you deliver. They don’t care if you wreck they don’t care if you get stuck and they definitely don’t care if you get struck by lightning my best advice run far far away from this place. 

Don’t bother taking this job unless you simply plan on doing the bare minimum. 
As one of the better drivers this company had available to them, this job quite literally punishes you for being good at the job, with zero tangible promise of moving into a management spot unless a current manager quits, or you spend unpaid hours talking to and learning from the manager on duty. 
If you finish your 95% of the time 180+ stop day early, (at least as a morning shift driver) you are 3/4 work days guaranteed to be forced to go take anywhere between 15-30 packages off of a driver that is behind, often times because they just aren’t very good at the job(very minimally is a driver behind due to something beyond their control) 
You might as well just take a break and finish your route at the estimated time rather than be good at it and finish early. 
Then they quite literally say it’s a “privilege” to go help other drivers because you are playing your part in making sure the “team” meets the goals the company has set(LOL) there is no “team” in the sense of the daily driver. You get your route and your van, you do your thing, you go home. 
Unless working harder for no extra money sounds good to you I’d simply find another job.

It’s all about the money,  just not for you. There is definitely worse places to work,  but this isn’t too far from the bottom of the barrel so to speak. When this Dsp realizes that cutting corners isn’t sustainable for the longevity of there business  and actually pay there employees better then it could be a decent company. The big issue is really not the dsp but Amazon.  Amazons expectations are unrealistic and so are the dsp’s. They think that every route should be finished when the computer says so, not taking into account all real world problems and not to mention the complete incompetence of the people who put together the routes. The flex app is the most bugging app I have ever used. You would think that Amazon being a tech company would not let that sorry excuse of an app exists. If the stop counts were lower,  you could actually take the breaks you are required by law to take, actually had time to stop and use the bathroom instead of going in water bottles, and if the app was more accurate and efficient it would be a decent job. That’s what it is unfortunately. Definitely not somewhere you want to be long term in those circumstances. Find something better unless you want to be called an athlete and be expected to perform like one but not get compensated for it.

Start the day by hearing the same speech of rules that they tell you to follow but don't swear by them. You head to the station in your disgusting van with visibly deflated tires as you figure out which charging ports for the phone work, if the phone can charge and hold a charge, and if you have working headlights and backup camera. You don't have that difficult of routes when you first start and will tell you to hurry and finish your route and move as fast as you can so that you can get done earlier and get paid for the full 10 hours. Eventually, they'll overload you to where it becomes impossible to complete in under 10 hours no matter how quick you move. They will pentalize you for things that are out of your control, and get on your case for nonsense. They are not helpful with your troubles on the road and don't have an idea about them when they need to. Also heard that they've manipulated phones when you are driving that blocks you seeing navigation. There's better opportunities out there.

I’ve worked at 2 other DSP’s, and Spur Logistics definitely has the hardest routes. Routes are generally close to the station, but you will be out until 8-9pm on a normal day, which is not the regular standard for most DSP’s. The management is pretty decent, but their routes are difficult and stressful, and drivers who finish early always get ‘rewarded’ by helping other drivers who get the hardest routes, and because of that they have a high turnover rate. They have unbranded cargo vans which adds more stress because the cars on the road and customers do not know who you are. Most of the vans have something wrong with them and do not get fixed. It was very stressful to work for this DSP compared to working for other ones. Mainly because their routes are difficult and stressful and you’ll have very long work days. 

Come into work to the tent where everyone is standing waiting to recieve their van bags. Dispatcher is guaranteed to be stressed beyond words due to call outs and various other issues they must deal with alone. Get your bag and find your van. Ignore all warning lights, issues, and cleanliness of the van, they probably already know about it. Go to the station and get your carts. Don't expect help, people will typically only help those they know. Then drive off and deliver. Breaks are NOT guaranteed but earned. If you take a break but not far enough ahead to support it then you will be penalized. Finish your 180+ stop route early to more than likely rescue the same people that need to be rescued daily. Do not expect growth in this company, you will only be promoted if someone quits or is fired.

The Healthcare plans are affordable and pretty good. The owner is amazing. He cares for his employees.  He goes above and beyond to be the voice of his employees to amazon. My favorite aspect of the job is the freedom you have. You're outside, in the fresh air with no management over your shoulder. As long as you get the job done in a timely manner, they don't mess with you. Best part, I promise. You come in, do your job and go home. The management team is an amazing one as well. They are wonderful people who understand things happen from time to time and are truly easy to talk to. They are very supportive. The owner gives out rewards almost monthly to the ones who keep great scores as a thank you which a lot of jobs don't do. I would rate the spur company 10/10. I was very sad and upset to leave my job here. I feel like I left my family. 

Management is a bunch of 20 year olds constantly hounding you. They use technology to constantly track you. When you stop to eat lunch or use the restroom, they call you and ask why. Most drivers urinate in bottles and don't take breaks. Threatened employees that you would be on their "list" if you had an issue on the route. The routes are completely unrealistic. When you inevitably do not finish them, they pressure you to stay out past a 10 hour workday. No dolly provided. Broken trucks never get fixed. Delivering in non-branded vehicles, so customers have no clue who you are. 

My overall experience with Spur Logistics was great. The management team was very helpful and informative. Training was thorough and I never felt unprepared to do the job. The day to day on the road was great once I got the hang of it. Once you get a rhythm and find your own pace it’s an easy job. If the start times were earlier, I’d still be with the company. Hopefully that changes soon. Would definitely boost home/work balance. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. Got some fresh air, got to meet some great people, and even loss 20 pounds in the process.
