Truesdell Corp

Work days can vary from a typical eight hour days to 18-20 hour days.  
A typical day includes hard labor with large amounts of demo.  Numerous informal meetings can occur throughout the day to adjust work activities for unplanned incidences.  
I have learned how to use tools necessary to complete concrete jobs.  I have learned the process of completing various projects to strengthen and repair bridges and other concrete structures.
Depending on the foreman, management can be varied.  Management can include a schedule for the day and goals for the work day and week.  A schedule is also included for what projects each individual will complete during the day.  Breaks are allowed through the day to replenish energy for optimal performance.  With other foremen, the opposite can and often does occur.  
Co-workers are hard workers, always aware of deadlines and guidelines for project completion. 
The hardest part of the job is being away from my family for large amounts of time.  All the jobs are out of state so I am required to travel to the projects.  It is possible to be gone for as much as 6 weeks at a time.
The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing sights I have never seen because of the travel.

As a Project Manager with The Truesdell Corporation, I’ve had the privilege of leading complex infrastructure and concrete restoration projects across multiple states. I can confidently say this company sets the standard in our industry for professionalism, safety, and quality of work.

From top management to field crews, the level of collaboration and communication is outstanding. Everyone is aligned toward delivering durable, efficient solutions—especially under tight deadlines or challenging conditions. Truesdell equips us with the tools, technology, and training we need to succeed, and the company’s commitment to safety is second to none.

What stands out the most is the pride we take in our work. Whether it’s bridge deck overlays, structural repairs, or sealant installations, the craftsmanship and attention to detail are unmatched. I’ve worked with a lot of teams, but the culture here is truly something special.

If you're looking to work with for a company that values integrity, precision, and results—Truesdell is it.

The work is A lot harder than they tell you it will be. Before you’re hired they will tell you that you need a class e license but then you can’t do anything with it. They tell you it will be 40-60 hours a week with a per diem since you are traveling out of state and instead you work 20-30 hours with a $2-$5 per diem. When you express any concerns or complaints they either ignore you or they make you work the hardest jobs because you have push back. The leads and managers sit around while the lower employees work like crazy. They don’t allow breaks or lunch when you are working even though it is back breaking work.  It’s not worth working there. 

° physically demanding, dusty, DANGEROUS environment 
° Basically applying epoxy layers with small aggregate. Preparing surfaces for application.
°Upper management lies to get you in the door, lies to keep from paying you, and has the supervisors deliver the lies.  It's impossible not to notice the organization...
°Hardest part- paying bills after payday
°leaving was the most enjoyable part of the job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing.. Long hrs extensive traveling and poorly maintained equipment 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When that old worn out equipment goes down in the middle if a job , getting it up and running ASSP

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
When I was employed there and depending on what crew/ Forman you have  it could be a great atmosphere or a LONG NIGHT

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy .But if your on a good crew it flies by

First of all these guys break every code and law they can get away with. On average we work 10 - 14 hr shifts with no lunch breaks we work through them. and half the time there is no form of restroom on project. They make you drive vehicles that require a commercial drivers license. And when you get pulled over and almost arrested out of state for doing what they require you to do,  they leave you high and dry. Tell you if you dont get to court on your own dime out of state you wont have a job.

RUN this company is trash, the manager sucks . They scream and yell all day. They expect you to learn something off of one time that they teach you something. 
They claim they are all about safety UNTIL the job has to get done then they dont give a f . Its really a stupid company . They hire randoms with no experience. Very demanding job but hire fat old people that cant move. But its a LABOR job  

The leadership at this company is extremely closed minded, non supportive, Non Realistic with expectations and has a high turnover rate. The culture was disappointing and intrusive. Employees are not valued unless you are management of course.  I learned that unfortunately you need to document things because they will use anything to their advantage when things dont work out.

I worked in the HFST division. Bout from DCS. The management lies about everything. Took away all the perks of making money to be away from home. No pay to travel, no pay to and from the yard. It is clipped at 50hrs. Plus you gotta share a room with another person during travel.
Company isn't worth the effort. Stay away unless you want misery

Not a bad place to work traveling pay per diem not a lot of hours. You won’t get a lot of experience as far as like actual bridge working construction all they pretty much do is lay epoxy and gravel over the epoxy on the bridge and do patchwork. They offer CDL jobs too so there is room for advancement there for sure.
