What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast paced,must be able to keep yourself and everybody around you safe at all times and be professional at all times

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was like since I do no longer work for them show up to work 30 minutes early had me running the service truck so I would go to the front office grab any turnovers and the bad orders list head out get the guys out the gate that was there just overnight with the small problems that they need it fixed fixed and the ones that were big problems flipped so they can get out the door also , then grab my bad order list and continue on chassis to chassis fixing everything I can fix as quickly as possible which included finding the chassis which could be anywhere keep it in contact with the front office so they do where at on the list I was and which ones I had already completed as I completed them and as far as what I had to fix anything and everything from Bad tires and and marker lights to leaking Airlines to brakes to track leaf springs to you name it I did it all anything and everything that had to do with fixing that chassis to make it pass a federal inspection which was also part of my list of things to get done a lot of bad orders that just needed federals done on them waiting to be put in the good order afterwards one guy 300 bad order chassis keeps you busy

I'm only at the gate so I can't give to much details about the job but I'll give my point of view. If you can't handle the elements this ain't a job for you. If you can work at a quick pace this ain't the job for you. I'd your good at observation and spotting issues, organized and can handle attitude from people it's a good gig. Coworkers are pretty cool. From what I've experienced they work with you very well especially family emergencies. They value good work ethic. Very professional.

You'll save yourself a lot of trouble by moving on in your job search. They have unethical practices such as adjusting timecards as they see fit with no notice to employees. Communication is practically non-existent unless they need you to do something for them, then they call and harass you. They keep very poor maintenance on trucks and equipment to the point of it being dangerous. Very poor management that talks down to you. High turnover rate and for good reason! 

For the position I was in schedule was great, I think that’s why a lot of people stay, everything else sucked. Don’t ask for a pay raise. Mics in the truck. Have to be constantly on the move. They WILL watch your every move whether you’re local or regional. They have their people that they like and they cater to anything and everything mainly because those people are “yes-men”. They will let you go for any reason so do everything they ask and don’t complain about anything. They will also pry into your social life. Maybe I just had a bad experience though who knows.

Not a good company. They do not value your time or skill. All drivers receive the same overcomplicated pay system and you are expected to memorize the packet that is your pay. If you forget to notice something, you simply don't get paid for it. Their idea of appreciating their drivers is giving you a periodic grill lunch that tastes like dirt. Do not suggest, unless you're a masochist who believes you're worthless and expect to be treated as such.

Poor choice keep looking somewhere else shop expect you to do miricles with little or no shop equipment, for engine rebuild, you have to wait forever to get approval for repairs, shop is small, management clueless to find out what shop needs to succeed when I  was there we had one 22 ton jack that worked, that is what you can expect to work with I would not tell my worst enemy to apply at this company

I am glad I found this company to start with.  The owners are involved in the business and use to drive trucks themselves.  No slip seating, huge to me!
Container business is slow right no during the Covid-19. I wished the paid a little more per mile. Yes they give bonus mileage but.... medical benefits seem a little high but I am also carrying my wife.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best local company I’ve worked for! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress, you’re dispatched day before for the next day. Laid back 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Feel like family across the board 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Smooth, no stress and always safe driving.

Besides the dust an some hard to get along with truck drivers you got what you were told you would get. An there is always one or two bad employees at a job so that wasnt issue for me . overall management was good my direct manager really good.  Pay is fair for whst you did no chance for advancement unless you became a driver

Recruiter Absolutely lied about the average gross pay and hours per week. The most shady  lying dishonest crooked company I have ever worked for. The owner is a former trucker himself but flat out abuses his driver's by cheating them on pay! Can't stress enough, do not drive for these CROOKS!YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!
