What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Having to put up with other people driving like an idiot. Otherwise pretty decent by shippers and receivers are nice.

Only negative remarks they don't have a full time rider policy, for ppl like myself who enjoys wrking with my wife by my side, you can get rushed at times with the longer runs with short delivery windows. If you still want to be a Cowboy, Van WYK is a good place to keep you moving. Nice family to work for. They are not perfect but I haven't worked for a perfect company yet.Overall good place to work

I greeted every employee every morning to start my day, We had 127 employees total.  Mr Van Wyk game me all the tools and room to do my jog to the fullest with very little mico management from him.  It was a pleasure to work for such a generous company,

I enjoyed working for this company, tough physical to get hired, great new kenworths and allow inverters any size they put them in and they maintain there equiptment well, I would still be there except I had a family emergency and now have a dog that needs to ride with me and they don't have a pet policy

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Deadlines for delivery can be tight at times 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very good family friendly company

Management works with you when need time off.  Can be a stressful environment.  Hardest part is trying to appease driver's.  I really enjoy working with my co workers and the drivers.

The management is nice though. I just wished that the dispatchers had a little more respect for my home time. I just need to find a local job at home to be with my family more.

They are a great company to work for. As a OTR driver,  deadlines are realistic (unless issues at a shipper). Willing to get me home for events or keep me on the road, depending on what is going on in my life.
