US-Cargo

On a daily basis I handle the largest account for US Cargo.  ECOT (Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow) for two stations.  I also collect POD's for another account for both stations and e-mail them to the proper customers.  I go through all the paperwork from the drivers, making sure their pay is correct and then imputing the information into the system for completion of billing.  Make phone calls to set up pick up and deliveries for this account as well.  Take any incoming calls for any customer with questions or help they need.  I also print and route the next days scheduling for the ECOT account to which my drivers will be delivering or picking up.   Input all vacation and sick time for all employees for our Cincinnati and Dayton locations as well answer any Human Resources questions that may occur. Inputting payroll for both the Cincinnati and Dayton locations

Far too many hours. 50-60, with a low starting wage. The work does not equal the pay. Management does not have answers to questions, and will leave the employee in a questionable situation. Vehicles do not have routine maintenance, most are not worked on until they have a break down. Due to nature of the early start, late finish, you will have to interact with 3 to 4 different shift supervisors that do not communicate effectively amongst themselves, so as the employee you will get mixed results when communicating directly with them.

start at 8.00 p.m. work till  material was recieved in other cross dock..  learned how medical prescriptions are  distributed to customers . management works with all employees with open door policy which is  awsome. The workplace atmosphere was nice. The hardest part of this position was learning the proper places where Library mail was to be located. They most enjoyable part of this company Job was after meeting the President of the company he would come up to me and ask my opinion about what would make the operation go better and call me by my name he new and i was happy about that.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The team effect. It made going to work easy knowing that your coworkers would explain and guide you through the transition of working for a new company. Also the dispatching was on point.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being away from home for longer than I wanted at the time

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Again the work environment was a positive one

I once loved this company my heart was in it. Then things changed they relocated the best plant manager that place ever had and brought in a nincompoop. Then everything went down hill from there. The GM at that time use to be a good man but got to engrossed in lining his own pockets before he retired. All I know is that when I worked their u had to constantly Dodge all the backstabbing. I do know that they have a good GM now but the plant manager is a smuck (idiot).

Sometimes you don't know who you work for. The parent company has tight 
They are very slow at making critical decisions. 
For example the warehouse pay scale was so far under every warehouse in the area and it took 2-3 employee surveys to beat it into their heads. Turnover is high for warehouse. Drivers not so much.
Too many chiefs, not enough braves.


early start times, may have to load your own truck.
long days and work weeks. easily gain 60+hrs. each week.
co-workers were friendly and helpful.
delivery quotas were unrealistic.
seemed like you just left work, then, at work again.
not enough time at home with the family.
great pay and job for a single person!

Not a job that i would recommend to a family man like myself!

there is no benefits here unless your in management
they have a big turn over of people
when i worked there it was a pigsty the employees had to clean the toilet , i worked in the office and had to clean they never hired someone to come and do it.
communication was not good between management and coworkers unless you were on their good side.

We do a lot of loading and unload of freight on tractor trailers and box trucks. 6 CDL drivers that go out and deliver and bring back freight. And 10 non and class b cold drivers. Most of the day we are unloaded 13-14+ trucks. But it’s easy work when you have a good working team of people. 

It was looking like the start of a good career when I started 3 years ago, however after being here 3 years I have received little pay increase but a large influx in responsibilities.
