Tiger Lines, LLC

Tiger Lines hired me as a fresh graduate when no other company would even give me the chance. They have their own training but I had gotten mine from a school and obtained my CDL before arriving. I have never driven a tractor trailer before but I picked up on it pretty quick.  It’s easy work with live loads mainly and some drop and hook. Work is anywhere from 8 to 10 hours usually delivering wine and cardboard.  They also have a bulk division. Pay could be better though. The starting salary is only $16 an hour plus-per load. They do bump it up to a max of $18 an hour after you’ve been there for a while. You get paid a commission for every load you get for that day on top of your hourly. I’m doing about two loads a day and averaging about $21/$22 an hour. Of course the more you hustle you could squeeze in an extra one, but the main problem is that you wait a long time to at the warehouses. So that definitely cuts into how many loads or commission you can get. But being in this business that’s to be expected. Other than that management and dispatch are great, they’re organized and flexible if you need a day off or so to take care of personal stuff, just let them know in advance. Although the pay is a bit low, I’m not complaining too much because my foots in the door, I’m a truck driver now and they gave me the opportunity when no one wouldn’t. So besides that, I would say overall it’s been a great experience with the company and as a rookie truck driver. For somebody just starting out, I think this is a perfect company to get started with. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I worked there for over 16 years. Had several options to work for other local trucking companies I Chose Tiger Lines because of there family values. No company is perfect ,but they always try to make it a team effort. If it's values you are looking for go no further. very competitive with pay and most of all it's the kind of job you want to wake up to and want to go to work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
seasonal agriculture, long hours and getting enough sleep. You only get out what you put into it. BE Safe

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Most employees think that the customer comes first. Wrong!  The team members come first. This company listens to it's team members. Great values. I wish I had negatives to share but they try to do what they can in a fast paced ag. environment. BE SAFE and be a team player.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long hours, but if you like what your doing its all good.

Worked as seasonal driver hauling tomatos pulling set of doubles.good training at orientation with helpfull people available and willing to help.Friendly trainers who are retired from driving with goog advice and knowledge.Some may think pay isnt high enough but realty is seasonal rwork that is slip seat has high repair costs.Pay attention to paper work they give you listing bonuses for watching your speed and no damages caused by you.Be careful.It pays by the load so dont worry about how many you can get in a shift and focus on safety.Dispatch people are friendly but it can look tense at times.When you arrive for work dispatch takes a while to address you at window because there usually on the phone.This is 24/7 work and dispatch gets very busy.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Don’t really need to speak to managers or supervisors as they send you your weekly dispatch. Friendly management and supervisors 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Equipment breakdowns sometimes there is no spare trucks when yours breakdowns so you are off 1 or 2 days till yours is fixed or management can get you a truck 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depending what yard you are working from some co workers you can get along with and some you can’t.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show  up to the yard do my pre trip run my dispatch for the day. If nothing happens  like breakdowns  or changes. Get back to the yard do my post trip and go home.

First, I want to thank the Woodland team for the opportunity they gave me. It was a seasonal job hauling tomatoes. Dispatch and coworkers are great and have good work ethics. Hours are long and pay is not great. I was making less than minimum wage for the hours I put in which was 60-70 hours per week. They pay per load, distance, hourly, pre-trip and post-trip. It sounds great and all but when the numbers add up you don’t make much. Other than the pay, I enjoyed working for them. It was fun, scary (double trailers full of tomatoes) and exciting. 

This was my first job as a CDL so I wasn’t complaining and wanted to learn as much as I can but I don’t think experience driver would like it too much due to the salary.

I would work for them in the future.

This place gave me a very bad experience honestly worked there many years and throughout the years I’ve seen drivers coming and leaving bcuz they weren’t making enough to make a living. Plus when it comes down to conflicts they don’t care for their drivers they just let them go not caring how many years a driver has worked for them. There’s too much preference from dispatch towards drivers. If u always wanna be racing for a load this is the place to go to plus ur always gunna have to be scratching the surface to make a paycheck. They have lack of work honestly to the point they don’t even know where to send their drivers so they just tell u to go home that’s it for today. Like I said i had very bad experience wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was a very good company and the pay was great. Just wish it was year round at the time. I was there very good trucks and very nice staff and smart mechanics. It was truly appreciated.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very long hours, which was a plus . And you need to watch the back of your trailers.

Fast pace, hard work, and excellent pay

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Take advantage of your downtime because you will need it

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was just a very enjoyable place to work. The staff and other employees were always kind and helpful.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Running the short range loads could be stressful only if you overdo it and push yourself to much.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment was friendly and the dispatch always was helpful, listened to any concerns I had.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Ari e at designated time, get keys and daily rout. Pretrip tractor and trailer and take off for the day. Return when dispatch tells me to return.

Typical day was to review goals and act where needed either in sales or operations. I learned a whole new culture of doing business in their approach to employee's and customers. My co- workers where at first not ready for change not only to increased business but looking for ways to improve. The Hardest part of the job was to let employees no they needed to improve or find another place to work. The most enjoyable part of the job is building those personal relationships with cusomters that last to this day.

I have only been with Tiger Lines for a short time but in that time they have treated me with respect and made me feel valued and appreciated. Tiger Lines is a family owned trucking company that values their employees and I have found a home here after being with my previous employer for a very long time. I hope to stay here for the same amount of time and more.
