I’ve been in the commercial driving industry for over 20 years, and unfortunately, my brief experience with TCI Transportation was deeply disappointing.

The issues began right from the application process. The job description was unclear, and communication was inconsistent. Despite being told I would receive login credentials for their ELD system, I never received them, and there was no follow-up from management despite my repeated inquiries.

When I arrived on-site, I quickly realized the job was not as described. Instead of just “delivering bread,” the work involved unloading frozen food from reefers at -20°F, digging through disorganized stacks, and handling large trays of bread without proper equipment. It was physically demanding and stressful. The equipment was inadequate, and the entire operation felt disorganized, especially with the lack of support from the team.

The fleet of drivers was extremely limited, and the workload was far beyond what was expected. The CDL-A drivers, who were led to believe they would be doing shuttle work, were instead assigned to delivery duties in undersized trucks. There was also a lack of support when things went wrong, including no clear communication about my pay and hours.

The one positive aspect was the professionalism of the HR director, who did respond and take action. However, the overall experience was frustrating and unprofessional, and I ultimately decided to leave after just two days.

I would not recommend TCI Transportation to experienced drivers who expect clear communication, proper equipment, and a well-organized environment.

Toxic workplace in the accounting department. Leasing management  has no idea what they were doing and would often give incorrect directions and throw you under the bus to take the fall for their mistakes. Procedures are always changing, nothing is uniform, reliable or stable. Shady accounting practices. They are extremely short staffed, the hours are 50-60 hours/week.  Leasing management often talks ill of  the staff; questioned their aptitude in their work, mocked their age, it felt like an attempt to pin coworkers against senior staff to be push them out. Absolutely no training because they are short staffed. You are expected to “self serve”; figure it out on your own. No one has time to teach you or tell you what to do. Also, not friendly to working mothers. No place for lactating parents, you will be asked to pump in the restroom. HR completely ignores these issues. The benefits are abysmal. They contribute a quarter of your percent contribution and cap you at 3% match, which is not fully vested till you’re there for 5 years. The turnover is high, so good luck with staying that long. The health insurance is expensive, it’s about $250 a week for a family to be covered, and good luck finding a provider because it’s an uncommon insurance provider which most providers have not heard of and do not bother working with. The bonus incentive was 3% of your salary, paid quarterly. 

I’ve never worked at a place where I had so much down time. When asking for work I would constantly wait by the service desk window waiting for work only to be told that there wasn’t any. The management is unorganized and often a toxic environment. Service writers and managers use unprofessional language and express it upon the technicians and can be heard while customers walk into the shop. Also they did not care if you used recreational weed at the job site. Manager would not say anything to service writer who clearly smelled like weed and was under the influence when coming in to work. The work load makes no sense at times we would replace parts on trucks that don’t need to be replaced. I honestly feel that this place is where mechanics go to die because there is no learning opportunities here and it’s all about favoritism here. Not a good place to work in my opinion and definitely not worth the money and sign on bonus. 

Home daily with several different dedicated customer accounts.  I ran Phoenix to Vegas, mostly drop and hook.  Best part was set schedule, with a general window of start time.  My average day was 12 hours long, not bad for truck driving.  Brand new trucks every June/July.   There are outward and driver facing cameras, personally never bothered me and kept away the temptation to peek at the phone when bored.  Aside from that, management stays out of your hair so long as you show up on time and do the job.

For home daily its fine pay, average for Phoenix.  As a single, healthy person insurance is fine, won't notice much out of the paycheck, but if you have a family, stay away from this company.  It will take 90 days before the insurance even kicks in, once it does its 170 per week for family premiums, and all that buys is a 5000 dollar deductible for each individual with 80/20 after that.  Supporting a family is not possible at TCI unless you're spouse also works or you have some alternative for coverage.
PTO and sick pay are earned.

Waiting to here when loads are ready.Get to work and hear we are waiting longer on warehouse.

Well, I don't know where to start but can tell everyone that TCI is a Great company to work for because they will show and teach you everything there is to know about the transportation business and not just delivering product in a semi truck but you have to be willing to want and learn because management there from dispatch, supervisor s, management all the way up to the CEO's and can't forget about the Vice President will treat you like family and actually will really work with you and take time out of there day just to have a pow wow about what can or could be done differently and safely to get task done without any issues and how to fix the problem or how great and awesome job ur doing and will even ask for company-businness suggestions because they trust you. I sure do miss my job and the company. I recommend all to go apply.

start my day off with coffee,  then meet with our technicians and plan/ schedule work for the day.

Learned allot from our great team of technicians on repairs/ diagnosing & from my manager learned on the Karmak side from billing, ordering parts, invoicing, quoting & and  customer etiquette/ following up. which has helped me as an introvert to open up more socially.

great workplace culture with a team im lucky to be part of.

atm the moment the hardest thing id say is getting used to the new Coupa billing system, but once i get it down, i know ill probably reflect back on it and laugh at how easy it actually is.

best feeling is when a customer calls back & leaves good feed back on the technicians work Ethics/Repairs. and when we notify the techs they really appreciate the input. as it puts a smile on their faces.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I get to travel to different places, meet new people,go to different states & learn new job skills. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes when I get to certain stops there isn't enough equipment to help with the unloading process. 
At some stops the pickup trays should be the dolly ready to load into the truck instead of having to pick them up and stack them on the dolly ,because it consumes more time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's a diverse friendly working environment.

I complete my work route, and upon arriving at the terminal, I perform a post-trip inspection of my truck; that is where my day concludes.
