UST Select

To run a successful logistics company in a flatbed division a company must have management that has knowledge of the position they're leading. Unfortunately for UST Select it doesn't have a clue. While the pay is competitive, so is the job market; and because of that I believe this young company will struggle to maintain CDL drivers unless some sort of comprehension of leadership forms very soon. I've worked here for 90 days as a driver and more than half of the on boarding promises have not been kept. In fact I've been ridiculed for bringing up this fact. We were told that the schedule would be 2 weeks in advance. That's a lie. Our schedule is posted at maximum of 5 days and 100% of the time was revised and a day you thought you were off shows you scheduled, sometimes less than 36 hours notice. The schedule is emailed to your personal email and although it seems far fetched... the same dates of scheduling will be sent as minor revisions are made so no one can plan anything in their personal lives, mostly these revisions of the same dates happens 2 or even 3 times. Wow! 
Another promise that was made was a 4 day work week, 10 hours a day. That's a lie. Most people are working 5 days while some are even working 6 days. Again, there's no work/life balance. 
For new drivers training is almost nonexistent as they'll throw you with someone who's only been doing the job less than 30 days and somehow expect them to train newcomers. Another promise was the location you'll be working out of would rarely/never change. That's a lie. Most people are floating through different locations/stores weekly and sometimes even daily; in distances ranging from 25 to 50 miles. When it comes to truck routing you'd think whoever in charge would have some knowledge of the geography of the area they're routing, right? Not in UST Selects case; it's like taking someone from Alabama and expecting them to route a New York City route with efficiency, not going to happen. Expect to be contacted by at least 3 different managers at random times throughout the day through text messaging (although you're driving) asking the same mundane pointless questions like "how many stops have you completed?". There's plenty more to say but I'll leave it at that and let you decide if you want to apply. For myself, the job hunt resumes.

Unorganized and management shows too much favoritism.  During application process, I took my picture for my badge and gave my clothing sizes.  Day 1, no badge was there and after a week still no mention of a badge.  None of the Amazon clothes was given.  In a weeks time I only went out as a helper one time because someone didn’t show up.  Always on standby or didn’t show up at all on the schedule.  Management constantly put same people over and over on the schedule.  The communication is horrible.  This is truly the worst place I ever worked.  Decided to actually go work for Amazon.  This company is working for Amazon and they operate nothing like amazon.  Amazon is very organized.  You have a bag on day one.  Management and their picks are money hungry.  I actually learned a lot while sitting on standby all that time.  Some of the young women don’t do anything not even get out the truck.  They are getting easy money.  I am a older person and went out one time and got out every time and lifted packages.  I have always been a hard worker and wanted to work for mine.  One girl told a driver to put phone on airplane mode so they could not be tracked because they need to make a personal stop.  That’s what Atlanta office deserves.  I have worked one job for over 35 years and never seen anything like this.  Other managers there never bother to introduce themselves and never discussed uniforms badges etc.  Employees be in office cursing up a storm in front of management and nothing is said.  Amazon really need to re-evaluate that management crew.  They hire entirely too many people and don’t have any control over anyone.  If you need a job, it’s better to work directly with Amazon themselves.  I quit after one week.  I wasn’t making any money by being on standby every day.  It was UST loss.  I am a very hard worker and they never got a chance to see.

Lots of favoritism, pay is not equal to positions of same title. Schedule changes from week to week with only 1 day notice. Very secretive with information thats is normally shown in every company I ever had such as seniority list, personal stats and goals met within the job. This company is a reactive company, they are not pro-active by any means. Management team with in the station is very lazy and put everything on the driver's, to elevate all responsibility they now also put more responsibility on the helpers. When u try to help with some collaboration they dismiss you and try to blame HR or the station manger. Very horrible environment. Training is non existent. They rush you back so that you don't make your hours. Yet they expect you to do more and more each day. You get 3 breaks, but when you take them your running behind on their board and they will let you and every else know about. Salary changes so I can't answer that on the quick link below, I make less than helpers hired a few months before and driver's hired after me...hmmmm go figure. They say pay is not supposed to be told to your peers. I wonder why. Company is not worth it. 

There’s no substantial raises or any at all depending on your location. They expect you to be happy with what you were hired in at for you entire tenure there. There’s quite literally a new rule or responsibility every single day yet pay is never raised. Management is just down right incompetent and run the business as if they never worked a physical job a day in their life and it’s reflected in the constant SILLY rules implemented every day. They constantly make you afriad that you’re gonna lose your job with all these off-base rules ontop of taking a risk being on the road all day and getting into and accident in general. This job is only beneficial if you want to become a site manager. And even then you can’t run you location how you want to because corporate will be calling you every 15 minutes telling you how they want it run. Whole company is just completely out of touch with reality. Also been found in court to be withholding overtime from people’s paychecks in the Ohio location, ive seen other reviews with examples of the company withholding wages. Not a company you want to work for.

● Work-life balance
The management team does not have any kind of education, they treat employees like garbage, the company promises you anything to hire you and then they do not comply with the agreement. If you claim you are fired, they take advantage of the fact that the job market is closed to abuse you. We live under constant threats of being fired, and even the managers are constantly harassing you and blaming you for stealing time when you are supposed to be full time they say that full time is simply what they say because they believe they are above the law. And I could go on all day but if you are reading this take this company as your last option. maybe I'm going to lose my job along these lines but I know I'm doing the right thing. Too bad I can't place 0 stars.

● Pay & benefits
Pay is decent but u can't get a full time

● Management
In general, managers at UST Select. they certainly need to learn education.

● Overall
My experience working at UST Select. I wish I never had to work for them

Favoritism!  The manager has their pick and treats them as their pets, she dates some of them, will make them seat all day without working(free money) but will slave the rest to hard work. The place is very getto and unprofessional, they will mess up your paycheck every pay period stilling your hours. this place should pay people every week but they don't. Will lie to you that the position will turn into permanent but will fire you after a couple of months. when manager starts acting funny when you talk to them that's a sign that you getting fired within 1 or 2 weeks. If you're looking for stability and dependability THIS IS NOT THE PLACE you won't last 2 to 3 months! they will fire you! It doesn't matter how good of a driver or helper you are. oh also don't be fooled with manager's compliments they don't mean it, it's just to keep you on the leash while they still need you. the list is unlimited...
Pros: Good pay rate
Cons: everything else you can ever imagine

I have been driving trucks for 16 plus years and this is the most unorganized company ever! They are a third party and took over putting many drivers out of jobs. Most of the drivers was military veterans. First of all they lie to you. They hype the job up and make promises to you that in fact are false. I was promised to stay in the store I was at with the previous company and was later assigned to another store. Then they said it would be a four 10hr day work schedule. After getting hired they changed it to a five day 12 hour or more assignment. Never getting more than 1 day off in a row. You will work most Saturdays and as much as they want to drag you! Stay a way unless you don’t want to see your family. They are severely understaffed and will milk every ounce out of you. Drivers are fatigued mentally physically and the company only cares about themselves. Better jobs are elsewhere! 

UST Select is a great place to work and grow. It is an extremely challenging environment, constant change, constant growth- it is exciting to be a part of it. You have to put in the hours and work hard but it pays off and you will be rewarded for your commitment and performance. They have extremely high standards and expectations because they want to be the best at what they do and they take pride in being the best. There is a great culture and leaders are open to feedback because they are hungry to improve and better the organization. This is a young company, still expanding and building structure, I highly recommend UST Select if you are looking for a challenging career and want to be a part of something new and exciting. 

The people there are great, They constantly change rules and policies to suit the company's needs policy on pay raises has changed three times since I've been there. They gave everyone a dollar raise and act like they did the employees a favor when Amazon actually mandated the raise across the board so even the people just starting are getting the same as people who've been there. They have you work on Holiday's and only pay straight time. The company gets bonuses from Amazon but the drivers and helpers see none of that money. Customers pay for scheduled deliveries im sure the company gets some of that money do the people that actually do the work see any nope nadda zilch zero. They do not appreciate good employees guess they feel you can just be replaced.

Market Manager does not know how to manage drivers. Schedule changes daily and you are not told until first thing in the morning that you have to drive your own car 1 hour away. Highest paid always gets overtime while underpaid does same job and finishes within 5 hours or less. Only certain drivers stay at one store. Overall poor management from top down. The hardest workers are the only ones getting shafted. No accountability of drivers and equipment. Market manager doesn't know the area of the market therefor miss manages drivers costing hours and fuel to the company. Market manager doesn't visit drivers at the stores to see what issues are going on. Overall, they need an experienced manager who understands customer service and driver management.
