Tank Traders

I worked for this company for almost two seasons. We had a great manager who went above and beyond for us. He left the company in the spring. Head office did not replace him. They relied on a different department head to oversee the day to day production. The person that was put into this roll is clueless and careless. Demand demand demand. Does not have any compassion or trust of employees. Sits at home watching cameras and gives directions via chat groups. Comes in whenever he wants and leaves whenever suits him. Makes us work overtime and doesn’t even show up!! Very unprofessional and does not lead by example.  Zero interest on what actually happens until he gets in trouble.  Management and forklift drivers continually outside smoking, seems like they don’t have anything to do. When we are short handed don’t expect a helping hand via your leader... you’ll be expected to pull the weight of your missing counterparts.  And when it’s physically impossible to complete your goal because your short staffed you still get in trouble. PPE is provided but is not enforced to be worn....??? Under this new manager health and  safety issues continue to arise without solutions, and the employee turn over is out of this world! To bad this company couldn’t have kept the last manager, had a head on his shoulders and knew the plant inside and out. I’d caution employment under the current leadership onsite. Btw the door isn’t open for your comments! He turns a blind eye and expects you so the same. Quota quota quota!  The job is physical, and the days have been long. Summer, well that’s a season you’ll work non stop to suit the demand of the customers. I think the biggest factor in working for this company is safety. If management can’t see the problem, then they are the problem.  I do not recommend working here. Avoid this place.

I like working for Tank Traders as a driver, a typical day is 8-13 hrs. and 4-5 days a week. Very helpful team to work with, if there is ever a question, just ask the team and they will all work together to answer it. The management are all past drivers, so they know what you are going through. Fun work place environment, they work with you if you need time off, as long as you are open with your manager, they will go to bat for you. The hardest part about the job, is learning the job and getting past the sore muscle pain but as long as you give it your all and patience, it will all come together in no time flat. Sometimes the company needs you to do overnights, because there are stops farther away, that can be hard at times but it doesn't happen all the time and again long as you communicate with your manager, they will work with you. The best part about the company, if there is ever a time you mess up ,they don't get mad, they work with you and learn from it and as a team they can all learn together.

It would be better if the company was not run by total mismanagement. They give us no per diem for constant overnights. Don't be fooled if they say 1 overnight a month. They will keep pushing for more and more overnights. We have to pay for our own meals while working away from home. They put us up in questionable hotels sometimes and then never let us have the hotel points. The management keeps them for themselves. They treat us drivers as throw-away things. To be replaced by the next guy. 
Some of the depots that they have are terrible mud piles and they won't improve them. All the equipment is suspect and old. The constant changing of your routes and add on stops at the end of your day can be very frustrating. They have a 401K but they have no match. We have heard that they would start 1 but they never have. Anytime you ask about things like per diem and hotel and 401 k things. Its always we are looking into that but nothing ever changes.
Decent Pay though.

Workplace is casual and comfortable. You get to work with lot of different retailers and corporate accounts across different business verticals. Summer time is very busy with day to day calls/emails. Winter is slower, with a emphasis on doing projects such as marketing initiatives and annual reviews for large accounts.

There are many different departments to collaborate with and different personality types in each, which makes the job interesting and engaging. If you are hardworking and take initiative, there is lots of opportunity for growth.

Going in I knew what to expect, then it all turned around. You can not trust anyone at all, you can’t speak your mind (human right) as it’s turned against you, you can’t have a work friendship with anyone as jokes get taken seriously by others. The job is not overly hard, however, if you’re not buddies with certain people you don’t matter. To anyone that deals with any level of anxiety, depression or anything of that nature…..I do not recommend this company. They don’t want to deal with anyone that has any. 

Expect 14 hour days. You will begin your day loading a sideloader like a Pepsi truck outside. You will be lifting and carrying propane tanks from trucks to cages and Stacking empties back on trucks, logging sales, and collecting checks while driving on a preassigned route.
You will do check ins throughout the day with your managers.
You complete your route, uploaded your paperwork electronically, and sign out.


Physically demanding job, constantly lifting 20-40lbs shoulder to head height. On your feet all day, fast paced environment meeting KPIs. Always something to do, very little downtime. Safety oriented.
Positive culture with healthy eating program & monthly BBQs.
Upper Management is always looking to better the facilities & move the company in the right direction. It feels like they care & want to make the job easier, more efficient, & not live with deficiencies.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. No respect    safety is not a priority. Severe discrimination

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being told this is our policy if u don’t like it leave

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible environment  they think they own you but they can’t get anyone to stay there

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
U work until they say u are done  if you do your job you’re considered a bad employee. They don’t care if you go over your hours

Worked outside filling propane bottles while flooding and lighting.If you're good at one job that's where they keep you when you are supposed to rotate. Also bring water proof boots because your feet will get wet.They don't test the tanks for leaks so if you're filling a propane tank there's a chance it will explode. Some tanks are from 1970 and rusty they inspect tanks for rust pitting and dents. When management is gone the ones who step in for them play favorites. 

The job is physical but it is rewarding. If your able to lift 40lbs and give it your best you will succeed working here. Training provided was on spot with the industry standards. Its a real team environment which i enjoyed working in.  If your looking to strive daily and exceed your goals this is a place to learn and grow. Management and supervisors were good to work with, fair and understanding. If i did not move away i would go back.
