TQ Logistics, Inc.

As a former Employee "driver"  I found myself doing loaders jobs more than my own and could not put my full attention towards my job which is deliveries. Inexperienced loaders prep the freight. Materials were loaded poorly and more than often I would have to dig through  built pallets to find needed freight, rewrap, move and re-secure them. This could be at the warehouse, at a dock during my shift (if one is available) or in the street using the lift gate (also during the shift). The set up for success was minimal. Management does not acknowledge voiced opinions when there is an issue regarding work.
 
The pay is not competitive and is set below the cost of living. There is little room for growth. Once you learn your route you are able to get off early which is good but If your freight isn't loaded properly, which is very likely, you are in for a day. With perfect attendance I was never paid my sign on bonus. I was not paid my quarterly bonus also. Months had gone by and my bonuses were swept under the rug. I inquired about them and was left in the dark. I became aware of the high turnover rate a few months in.

Management does not keep up with the repairs, PMs and the maintenance checks that is required from DOT. Equipment is old and dirty. Due to management negligence with their trucks I once had to start my shift late at a rental shop and drive to the warehouse to load my own freight. I could not complete my full route and was blamed. There is no breakdown, detention or lumper pay

I was given extra stops/deliveries randomly with short notice and with no extra compensation. (Work load increased and pay remained the same). If you do not care much growth and just need something temporary this is for you but BEWARE.

Your schedule constantly changes due to the constant turn over. They require both managers at all facilities to have a CDL except Cleveland. One of the managers had to constantly work different shifts and extremely long hours. They will tell you they are all about safety but if hot customer freight needs delivered they will twist there words and try and talk you into doing something illegal. If you go after management for convincing you to do something illegal they quickly will attack you with false and incorrect accusations and one write up and you will get terminated. They Judy fired our 2nd shift manager for things that every driver here does. He was the only manager that got stuff done when we needed it. I would avoid working here if possible. A few of us current employees are looking vto get out of here as soon as possible.
The company put cameras in the trucks and said what ever was seen on camera would not be held against us. They now have fired multiple drivers company wide for things seen on camera. So they will lie to you and act as if they care when they truely don't.
Do not think you can talk to upper management outside of your location if your not getting help from your direct manager. Corporate seems to think the regular employees are not worthy of a phone call. They don't care about us, safety, all that matters is their numbers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
NO TOUCH FREIGHT. REASONABLE SCHEDULE. EXCELLENT EQUIPMENT TO INCLUDE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. NO SLIP SEATING.
GREAT MANAGEMENT SUPPORT

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
A COUPLE OF MY CO-WORKERS SEEMED TO HAVE A CLICK THING GOING THAT IF THINGS WERE NOT DONE THE WAY THEY THOUGHT THEY SHOULD BE DONE THEN IT WAS LIKE AN ATTITUDE OF DO IT MY WAY OR HIT THE HIGHWAY. THAT TYPE OF ATTITUDE JUST CREATED A TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
MOST OF THE TIME IT WAS AN OK WORK ENVIRONMENT BUT AT TIMES, IT COULD GET PRETTY TOXIC.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
SHOW UP ON TIME, PRE-TRIP YOUR TRACTOR/TRAILER, CHECK WITH DISPATCH TO GET ASSIGNMENT. BUMP THE DOCK TO GET LOADED AND THEN DELIVER THE FREIGHT TO WHATEVER LOCATION YOU HAD TO GO TO. RETURN TO STARTING POINT, PERFORM POST TRIP, TURN IN PAPERWORK AND GO HOME.

One of the most remarkable aspects that sets this company apart is its steadfast commitment to creating a harmonious work-life balance for its employees, recognizing the crucial significance of adaptability in the dynamic landscape of the trucking industry. The management's dedication to accommodating the personal requirements of its staff members surpasses expectations, creating an environment where individual needs are not only met but also prioritized. This level of attentiveness and consideration instills in me a profound sense of being truly valued and recognized for my contributions, developing a profound sense of appreciation and motivation in my professional journey.

Personally, working there was great and I did really well considering I don't enjoy sales and absolutely opposed cold calling. Luckily if you know how to work the system and you pay attention to the things that they teach you there are ways to get leads and engage with customers without ever having to call at all technically. Unfortunately the main issue is the people at the top are the ones who eat, and then the other 90% simply scrape the bottom until they finally get a new job. 100% a Turn and Burn style employment but if you're willing to hustle long-term, it's very rewarding and if you enjoy a challenge then you will 100% succeed at this job. The only reason I left the company was because I moved away.

The company nurtures a supportive and collaborative environment, encouraging employees to work together and exchange ideas. The management team is accessible and values transparent communication. They also offer excellent training programs to help employees improve their skills and progress within the organization. The company's dedication to professional growth is admirable and empowers individuals to achieve their utmost potential. However, there is room for improvement in providing more user-friendly training sessions to ensure all employees can effectively utilize these resources.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Guaranteed pay unless you call off and don't use PTO.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The endless drama and talking bad about co-workers and employees.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is somewhat relaxed as long as you keep to yourself. Don't talk to co-workers or the supervisor about anything personal unless you want everyone to know.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typically empty, run to Chicago area, load steel and return. Pretty straight forward.

There’s no work life balance with this job. Yeah the hours are 8-5 based on EST but that means 7-4 where I am. You’re expected to prospect all the time, make cold calls, and harass people for their business. If you don’t prove yourself snd hit certain goals through your 6 months of training then you have 8 weeks in proving ground to show you can earn money. I don’t like this. You’re to dedicate your life to the job and honestly I don’t want work to take over every aspect of my life. It’s good for the money driven but I want to start a family and this is not the job for me 

What is the best part of working at the company?
As a driver your own with no direct supervision, communication by phone if there issues on your route.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to remain a safe driver around traffic and on customers property . 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
As long as you report for work on time, do a excellent job delivering your freight, good customer service, it is very laidback atmosphere.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Includes making multiple deliveries, interacting with customers,and keeping equipment operational.

Pre trip truck in yard early am. Get documents from security and hook up to trailer. Secure cargo doors with seals and depart after checking out with security. A fairly easy job,but dont be late for scheduled deliveries. 
Management doesn't like to give time off for personal appointments, and theres not a very productive Driver-Management  relationship.  They don't like any complaints or issues of any kind.  You need to show up, do your job, and go home.
  The revolving door is open.
