Standard Logistics

This company has excellent benefits. However, they have done a lousy job establishing their administrative people. They put people in charge that have no supervisory or management skills. They have a lead driver that repeatedly encourages you to put equipment on the road that is in need of repair and puts you at risk of getting a ticket. They also play favorites and distribute the loads to be delivered according to who they want to have the good ones and who they want to have the less desirable ones. The dispatching people are lazy and incompetent. You don't know when or if you're getting a load half the time and when you do they don't even bother to see if the load can be picked up or delivered on time or within the customers cut off limits. They hang you out to dry often. They don't care about their 
employees, if you go to regional management and try to voice your concern about some of the nonsense and incompetence going on you get ignored and nothing is done about it. They don't appreciate good drivers, when you get fed up and leave and put your notice in they don't even bother to ask why you are leaving. There's no exit interview after the fact. Working here is chaotic and frustrating most of the time because of all the laziness and incompetence you have to deal with from the people that are over you. There's so much nonsense going on and upper management is oblivious to it. This job was a big let down for me. I had five years of supervisory and management experience with extensive training. I had over 15 years of over the road trucking experience. I've had dispatching experience. I came into this job being told there was room to advance and grow but instead I got shoved to the back and forced to work for people that frankly just don't know how to do the job and are less qualified. They even post jobs for promotion and give it to the people that are clearly less qualified as outlined in the job description posted.It's a shame, because these things always come out in the wash but it's usually too late at that point. I wish them the best of luck, it appears they will need it. They're already losing business left and right from their primary customer.

I start my day on the wee hours of the morning, typically around 2 or 3am, I have a pretty long work day and long hours on the road so rest is one of the most essential parts of my day. As far as what I believe I've learned is that there are some great people that work for Standard , my management team do a good job at keeping us informed on up to date safety protocol as it is of the utmost importance in my line of work.
   There's not much to be said regarding the culture at the work place as you will get a different opinion from any one you speak with as for me I would say it's pretty cool being that I'm in the truck 95% of the time.
The hardest part of the job for me is being away from my family so long oh and staying awake truth be told ... And the most enjoyable part is being able to provide for my family, having my personal work truck, and the occasional gifts we get...

At Standard Logistics there are great comfortable good paying jobs and health benefits is affordable only if you enter the company directly with them and not some third party like (Centerline Drivers) which Standard Logictics use to find more drivers. 

Cons; 
Tankers slip seat. 
They don't care about drivers. If the trucks are faulty and go against DOT rules and regulations they will try to convince you to take it anyways and if you don't they get very upset. They try to be professional but they are not. 
Also they run over weight on the pneumatic tanks on rear axle at 37,000 pounds. Be careful and protect yourself and your license. 

Safety is disregarded at this place. 

Over all, I was satisfied in working for Standard Logistics. I used to be at their regional division and at that time it was a easy going professional environment; which translate to a less stressful ambience. 

I believe the head of the company is really committed to the truckers welfare due to that, they invest a lot on us,  but sometimes I faced a few issues here and there due to the fact that the company was growing and they put some people with little experience or skill in that area.

But in general, I'd definitely work for them again.

These people are write up happy, they are so new in the trucking industry they don't know how to treat their drivers except at orientation. Then expect to be shuffled through 2 to 3 week driver training and get junk equipment. Don't step out of line, do everything they say and expect to be told," we have a business to run,"every time you disagree. Their production management is a joke, their planners and dispatch will lie if you agree on home time and they will throw you under the bus if they don't like the way you drive to save their own position. 

Drove OTR flatbed for these guys for 3 months before realizing how unorganized they are. Lots of red flags from the start but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Then I realized they're just always a mess. Examples...
-My paycheck was always messed up  and you get the run around about "it'll be on the next check" for 3 weeks!
-Their load planners doesn't care about your safety just wants to get the next load on you.
-NOBODY PICKS UP THEIR PHONE 
- No miles
- Cant take your truck home
- Micro manage you on the days they feel like working.
-Nobody understand the pay structure...dare you to ask any of the supervisors how it works.

Management and chain of command not knowing anything about trucking or the amount of no  good communication was terrible.

Typical work day is solo so that’s the best part. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday was an easy day never had to deal with anybody or even check in. You were fully independent

Worked for this company for quite sometime all I can say is terrible. From management to dispatchers. No one ever picks up their phone if you need something or if you have a concern. Always messing up paychecks you have to keep telling them about your money being short. No one cares about your safety they just throw some random load on you last minute and expect for you to deliver it on time. Very unorganized company managers don’t know what there doing they’ll write you up for anything. You won’t make any money if you do take your 3 or 4 days off. You have to be out to make the money. Not worth it at all!!

I like my job I can't say that about a lot of jobs I've had in the past some of them I've enjoyed but you never had a really sense of being a part of you're hired to do a job and that's pretty much where you were going to be does job actually does make me feel a part of and may be that my job is where I'm going to be but I enjoy doing my job here

I have been a driver for almost five years for Standard and I truly love the family atmosphere they try to create. They are very flexible and they really don’t bother you once they give you the work load for the day. They allow you to do your job, as long as you’re doing the right thing. I understand that there is no such thing as a perfect company, and every company has its flaws, but I truly love it here. Overall Standard is a great company to work for.
