Transforce, Inc.

They market themselves as a temp agency more than a trucking company.  They have zero trucks or equipment, do not provide a D.O.T. physical for hire  and have health insurance akin to a part time/ minimum wage type job. This particular branch sends everyone to the same account that doesn't permanently hire drivers from the temp pool. If you try to move anywhere else, it's like pulling teeth and they will treat you as a problem employee. The accounts they have are mostly un-researched meaning all they will tell you is what's in the description.  Generally they are unorganized startups with bad equipment and substandard pay in dangerous locations. Work was never steady or reliable over the 16 months I was there and there were times I sat at the house for weeks with no pay. If the account lays you off, they'll offer you a spot with an hour commute so you can't get unemployment. If you take it, obviously, you'll go back to the previous to avoid that commute. It's a joke and only if you're desperate should you apply here. My advice, stay far away from this company and more specifically this office. 

Knoxville tn. They run ads work when you want too. But send you to bad unwanted jobs like most of the temp companies do. If you can live on 14.00 to 16.00 an hour avg. And noncompliance  equpt. Its the job for you. Don't expect an experienced office staff. One will say anything you want to hear to get a seat filled. The other worked as she went to college. No trucking exp. It will start out ok...  But soon it turns. Oh yeah. Benifits??? If. You want a paycheck ?  Get them some place else. Not worth having anyway.  Management is very. Poor from and for the drivers stand point. At times will work you to death when busy. Running mushrooms. Or auto parts. For 200.00 a day for 14 hr. Days. The 2 in the office in Knoxville seem nice. But very lacking and withdrawn to drivers needs. Basic ... Say whatever is needed to be said. Lies mean nothing... That's business. Stay away from these people and their unwanted jobs. If you want a life hire direct with a company. Temp companies are just that... Temp. Same as the nice attitude and friendliness you receive. Not to mention honesty . when you walk in the door .... All temporary....

Went to work at this company in Jan of 2016 never missed a day on my dedicated routes..then one day I hit a pot hole in a construction zone doing about 20 miles an hour which in turn snapped a tie rod end on the tractor I was driving and threw my tractor into a guard rail ..I was sent for a drug screen after the accident and was told that I could return to work as soon as the results came in..keep in mind I haven't had a preventable accident in 28 years up to this point and no moving violations in 35 years..After 3 days without hearing from transforce I decided to call them and they advised me my drug screen has not come in yet. I called them again after 5 days making several attempts to get ahold of someone ..finally someone answered and said they were gonna look into it and call me right back...well that was 7 days ago and I still haven't heard back from them. To me this is a very unethical way to treat your employees and a very poor way to run a business!!

A decent place to work. Once you are in the system, they will reach out to you with jobs and you can accept or deny it according to your likes and needs.  Most Jobs that were offered to me paid $21-$25/hour with plenty of overtime.  There really isn't a way for any career advancement unless hired on with the company that wants to bring you on fulltime.

I liked the flexibility of moving from one job to the next if it didn't align with my schedule or goals.  I had insurance and vacation time with TransForce so I didn't see myself going fulltime with anyone.  It was a great overall experience and you do get to explore without being stuck at a company.  My longest assignment was five years and I decided to leave to obtain a new goal.  

Attending the duty hours on scheduled time.  Delivered and unloaded orders for customers.  Loaded customer returns when required
Reporting to the supervisors any customer complaints, disputes, issues, and returns of delivery orders.  Reporting to supervisors any problems with scheduled times for deliveries including delays or inaccessibility to customer locations.  Updating supervisors on status of deliveries on trip sheet.  Estimating the time and the shortest route from the specified destination to the logistics to maintain efficiency and timely delivery or orders.  Inspecting the vehicle in terms of fuel, spare parts and other safety measures before the journey.   Maintaining a steady and safe speed of the vehicle during the transportation.  Following strict deadlines for transportation.  Warehouse duties when required including use of fork lift, tow motor and clamp trucks.  Maintained Driver Logs and DOT Regulations.

Only complain is the wages at Miami, where the flood of cheap desperate labor keeps wages way too low for the cost of living and your own professional ethics and work principles.  I worked for  a customer that sold and delivered plumbing materials. Everyone at that place was really good and professional.  So were the Transforce account managers. 
Only issue was getting in contact with them. They use an automated "connect" system that takes way too long to connect you with the people you need to communicate with, right away. Sometimes having to leave a message and not hearing back for days. 
The job, like any other delivery of construction materials, is hard and easy depending on the job site, the customer, the location and your own expectations and experience, to me it was easy.  
If you are desperate for pocket change the Miami location will be good for you.

I worked two different accounts during my time at Transforce.The first account I pulled a flatbed for Ryder delivering vinyl to window plants.I was home through the week and on the weekend.Being away from home was the worst part of this job.the money was the best part of this job on this account.
The second account I worked on was a Honda parts account.I ran over 600 miles a day but I was home every night and the weekend.The hardest part of this account was being on time due to the nightshift driver always being late.This was a line haul.The best part of this job was the money and the hometime.The worst part was not knowing when I was leaving due to the nightshift driver was going to show up the next day.

this is a great company to work for and they are nice people. Never had a complaint about paychecks or management communications. The team in Memphis is great people and they get the job done no matter the situation or circumstances surrounded it. They are for their drivers. The pay around the Memphis area is a bit on the low side but if willing to take the pay cut for home, then this is your job. If you are not satisfied with one account and would like to be placed else where within the network. They will move you to another with no hassle without destroying your DAC Report and job history with multiple carriers on it. Driver call it truck hopping. Just give them an advance notice of wanting to change.
