Tax Airfreight, Inc.

A typical day at work is having too much to do without the resources required such as time, personnel and equipment.

I learned how deceitful and dysfunctional a management team can be.

Management is mostly incompetent, any competent manager either leaves or is hamstrung so they cannot affect any positive change and ownership is out of touch.

Workplace culture is toxic with an employee turnover rate that is staggering and pay increases are almost nonexistent.

The hardest part of the job is starting every day knowing you will not have adequate resources to accomplish all your goals each day no matter how hard you try.

The only enjoyment I got from this job was working here  back when I was first hired when there used to be company outings such as Christmas party's and company picnics and it really was a family company. 

Driver there several years...If you like to start when you punch in forget that,,,wait some times 3 hours to get loaded. They expect same work when leaving that late as if you had full day. Hard to do pick ups deliveries take so long cause of late leaving. In over 5 years one raise and that was bad as started some people at more than I was making.after many years there..  Liked to run you all over town not even in your designate area. compared to other companies low pay and bad wait times to load ( some times 3 hours sitting around)  Dock people are very under trained and big turn over. If they loose 
U-Line account will go under. But Drivers are great people to work with and what keeps drivers there I think.

This company use to be an amazing company. The Milwaukee location has fallen apart. Management is lacking. They love to remind you that your paid a fair wage and if you dont like it they can replace you. After management pep talks, mostly to tell the employees how they are lacking, you will leave with a great feeling of am I going to be fired!? Plan on working 60 hr weeks and after working 16 hrs and coming in for your next shift to be told by management telling you that you need to work more hours because the work isn't getting done. They are highly disorganized. The systems are lacking with good equipment to help you do your job effectively and efficiently. would. Ot recommended yo work here. With saying this your coworkers are great people. there were a few bad co workers but the few outway the many in this case.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The place is not manage right, things are always broken when inside the trailer, don't pay good for a cross dock, forklifts are always breaking down, no communication with 1st and 2nd shift 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When you can't find the product, you walk all around the warehouse to find it, and sometime it put in other locations, when it's says it's in a specific area 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lazy, nobody wants to do anything, Supervisor watches video on a forklift while watching forklift workers, 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, sometimes you can't find the product your looking for, and there is time when you look for a product it's been ship to the wrong location,

Tax Air is a great company for beginner CDL drivers. they go above and beyond to train you and get you set up for success...it's because they have no other choice. From what I can tell, they pay the lowest out of any trucking company in the area for CDL A. and they don't pay overtime. I repeat: THEY DO NOT PAY OT!!!! If you're a beginner like I was; all scared but optimistic, this is the place for you. Don't make the mistake I did of staying more than a year, get your experience and get out! Most trucking companies will hire you with 6 to 12 months experience and they pay 5 even 10 dollars more per hour +OT which, again, TAX AIR DOES NOT PAY OT. 

Horrible management at the most terminals, they tell you what you want to hear to end the conversation then dont do it over and over and over, its very one sided on the work scale, 2 people in the office will do all the work while the other 3-4 play with there email or sit around and chat all day, worst warehouse management i have ever seen, the supervisor is on the warehouse floor maybe a hour of the day then playing in the office on his computer and talking to other people about non work related stuff. this place does not give raises very much, some people go 4-5 years with no raise even thou they are told they will get 2 in the first year they are hired.

All I can say this job needs major fixing. What I can say they're pushing for change, they need real stern management. To man seniors use of old structure. The hourly employees are afraid of change.

Plenty family working on same shifts, bring conflict inside the work place. Lack of communication, they brought one guy that is improving change it's a battle for him. Very strong communicator and straight forward guy.

The company has been standing for 40 years but needs a guy like who I stated.

If you want to improve Tax Air you need to fix the issues. Don't allow good people walk away.

Second shift presented issues with the remaining leased vehicles in the yard being drivable. Was basically switch seating every day. Doable but irritating. Just about every trailer was busted but company did regularly perform maintenance on them, has order in for new trailers. Schedules have some hiccups, but management was working to fix these with the customer and dispatch.  Management has basically turned over 80%, not sure what you’ll get now. Pay is ok. Plenty of hours. Older Uline yard guy gets a “frowny-face” in treatment of new drivers for “hazing.” The dock workers are into busting the overhead doors and stabbing things with the fork trucks. They are bored…

This is a very fast paced work environment all of the time.  There are several phone calls and emails coming in with various requests in addition to data entry, scanning, analyzing reports and orders.  I have learned how to work as a team and independently, and take extra steps to go above and beyond.  The hardest part of my job is this company does not give annual raises and it affects the morale.  The most enjoyable part of the job is the fact that it is fast paced and you are always busy.  I work well with all of my co-workers and we make a good team.  I enjoy what I do and I enjoy the location and hours I work.

All companies in trucking industry are high stress. If you enjoy this kind of environment as I do and have for years at various companies, than you would enjoy working here.  I have nothing but a good experience, but really your level of getting a workload from dispatch is dependent on various factors on performance. Attitude is key in maintaining any job. And those with a more laid back, but hard working approach seemingly last longer, and do better.
