My experience working here was extremely challenging. The overall environment felt very stressful, and many employees frequently expressed concerns about workload and staffing levels. Call‑offs were common, which often left the team short‑handed and made it difficult to keep up with daily responsibilities.

There didn’t seem to be a consistent plan or structure for cleaning or maintenance tasks, which contributed to ongoing issues with facility conditions. Over time, several members of the maintenance department left after leadership changes, and the building itself appeared to need significant updates and repairs.

External agencies visited periodically, and the company received feedback and citations related to safety and compliance. These situations added to the pressure employees were already experiencing.

I had a supervisor who was supportive, but the demands placed on management were very high, and eventually he chose to leave. Since then, the work environment felt even more difficult to navigate.

Based on my experience, I would encourage potential applicants to carefully consider whether this type of fast‑paced, high‑pressure environment aligns with what they’re looking for in a workplace.

I had the opportunity to work there for only a little less than 2 months. I was let go because they worked me like a dog and took my one day off they had given me after working over a week straight and told me I HAD to come in on my day off. I came in on my one day off and after working over a whole week straight 7a-7p then taking the only day I had off before they switched me to night shift the whole following week. I called in my next scheduled day because they took my only day off so I could get on a night shift routine after working 7a-7p for over a week straight no day off.  They let me go the very next day when I came to clock in. I had asked and asked management for at least just one day off and was told that it was not possible while other employees were getting 2-3 days off a week and I could barely get one day off a week. The job pays very good and has great benefits but it has no work/life balance what so ever. They simply just don’t care about you unless your family or friends with the higher ups. Also no training what so ever. Very sad with the outcome of this job because I really thought this was a great opportunity for me. 

It would be to show up, prep my handheld computer, check and secure my load on tractor trailer. Do pre trip inspection on tractor trailer. Fill out my log book. Proceed to deliver over 500 cases of milk to 25 schools an a 14 hour period.
I learned the key to being successful at this job is planning ahead and paying attention to safety procedures, in order to finish the job in a timely manner and without injury.
The hardest part of the job is when your load is not placed on your trailer according to your load sequence or not loaded on time at all, which will put you behind schedule.
The most enjoyable part of the job is when you finish your route for the day and no one was shorted product, and your done in a timely manner, and you return back safely without harm to you or anyone around you.

SAVE YOURSELF AND RUNNNN!!  This company don’t care about anyone but themselves unless your family or married to the higher up… they will overlook you in a heartbeat.  “Management” is non-existent - No one is held accountable, there are zero repercussions for anyone, just a slap on the wrist - if that.   Turnover is a huge problem and they will hire anybody with a pulse.  The only good thing is free insurance if your a union worker. 

If you’re dumb enough to want to work & get hired there, dont trust anyone and document everything. Working at United Dairy will do nothing but deteriorate your quality of life and make you hate everyone.  It is one of the most toxic work environments I’ve ever been in and the drama that goes on among employees is unhinged.  Don’t do it. Just stay FAR away! 

The good you become a Teamsters member after 30 days. The bad the family that owns it has no care for their employees, management has drivers always running over weight, no training, excessively over hours, employees get hurt and company doesn’t report it, drivers afraid to file grievances against management. Overturn is so high that coworkers won’t learn your name because they know you will quit shortly after hired.  Drivers learn your union contract do not rely on your shop stewards instead go to your union local office for help

Do not expect to have a life at home at all. Probably the worse company i ever had worked for in regards with management. They want your logs off, no set schedule so plan to swing shifts within the same day, no regard for safety, no concern for your health, the pay is horrible and the problems management purposely create will make you reconsider ever coming off the road. I’m glad My old job hired me back. Didn’t meet one employee who wouldn’t tell you the same. 

The enjoyable part was being able to provide support for my union employees so the could perform their jobs. The hardest part is the dysfunctional management structure that created an environment of mistrust and extreme lack of communication that extended from company brass. I learned that I am an excellent motivator and communicator and director of  personnel.

Management and schedule is terrible don't even waste your time!! Day shift works 8 hours and leaves while night shift gets stuck with the rest. Yes they have a union teamsters it's a joke it's only there to strongly uphold the day shift and 10 -15 year employees. Just don't even waste your time trust me you'll thank me in the long run. 

Really not a horrible place to work for but it is a lot of long hours different start and end times the best sport about the company is they pay for uniforms and health coverage use a small percentage of copays it is a union job so you have union dues come out each check 

Great health insurance 100% company paid. Able to make a decent wage because able to work as much overtime as needed to get product delivered. Down side is Management is terrible, plays favorites, plenty of gossip around, and most of your co-workers are waiting for a chance to stab you in the back. Don’t adhere to DOT rules and regulations. Your safety doesn’t matter
