Veriha Trucking

Veriha overall has a lot of potential but they have to concentrate on their office retention as much as there driver retention. Work load is not balanced and it is difficult to accomplish what is expected of any associate on a daily basis. A lot of associates work through lunches and/or stay after hours, sign on from home to accomplish what needs to done. Management does not do sit in's to see what the workload actually is and where they need to streamline it in the office. Focus is more on driver retention and although they try to focus on team building overall there really is no time to view videos and read books without having to put something on the back burner. They fail to realize the stress level it creates and the effects it has on it's associates. I've witnessed tears and listened to a lot of negativity that is addressed in morning meetings but no end in sight. Employee turnover is just as high as driver turnover but mostly by their own doing. Not sure when they will realize that anyone they have let go or quit in the office in the last 2 years really have no documentation of any performance issues. It is all due to unrealistic expectations of the role whether it's safety, recruiting, load planner, CS or Fleet leader. Drivers are frustrated by the turn over too. Some have had 10+ fleet leaders in less than 4 years? They just get settled with one fleet leader and then that Fleet leader quit or got let go?  Some have had 10+ fleet leaders in less than 4 years? They are implementing new software in the truck and given an hour or 2 of training and put out in the truck to fend for themselves. Customers are in the same boat not knowing who to contact because of the never ending change of their customer service rep. Changes are good if they are thought out and implemented. They need to do an office survey as well as a driver survey

Driving requires a person to work long hours, spending days and weeks away from home with no immediate supervision or oversight.  The driver is ultimately responsible for the productivity and revenue generated by the truck. But, in order to be productive and profitable, it's important to have a team of professionals that knows what they are doing and can deliver the resources a driver needs to be successful in a timely manner, every time.

That's extremely important to me. And, that's why I chose Veriha. At Veriha, they do what they say they are going to do, when they say they are going to do it. That's something that is readily apparent throughout the company. Everyone from recruiting and operations, to HR and maintenance, everyone does what they say they are going to do. It's a value that's engrained in the culture.  I always feel like I have the support I need to be successful. It may not be exactly when I "want" it every time. But I get what I need every time. As a driver, that's extremely important to me.

Many drivers are all about the money. They want the most amount of money per mile and do not concern themselves with safety or ways they can earn more without having to drive the extra miles to do it. At Veriha, will payout quarterly performance bonuses for safety, and revenue generated, in addition to miles driven.

Work hard, deliver on time, and be safe while doing it, and you will be rewarded with more loads, more miles, more money, or all of three.

The choice is yours; do what you say you are going to do when you say you're going to do it.

Avoid this place. If you're a driver, you'll be bound by contact and expected to pay 7.5k if you choose to leave. No way out. Even is they don't fulfil their end of the deal with miles and pay; you'll be bound and expected to pay. They will change your position (OTR/R/HD) when they want, and force dispatch, or leave you sitting. Pay reviews are based on metrics that are inaccurately recorded, based on things outside your control, and ultimately decided by what "feels right".  If you are thinking office, you can expect a roller coaster of highs and lows. They will tear you down to literal tears. Load planning is comical and mostly done last minute without any thought or logic. Leadership admits load planning is failing. Their solution: Artificial Intelligence planning. Instead of training employees or hiring qualified workers. Leadership lacks education/training. "AI is a tool to help" but they use it as a crutch and let it determine what positions ("fat") to trim.  Including customers, drivers, terminals, and lanes of service. Phone calls are recorded and transcribed by AI. Empty promises of pay increases and lighter workloads, profit sharing bonuses that never come, and  "leadership" that doesn't have your best interest in mind. This is a heartless place these days. They flushed their values for AI. Expect more negative reviews to follow this one. Or a few good ones that they begged employees for. Turn back the clock a few years, and this was a great place to secure a lifelong career. They sold it all for a new shiny "tool."

This company appears to be sunshine & rainbows. It's got a super glittery exterior. what's under that isn't quite so pretty. You will be told you have 6 months to catch on. That is the first big lie. You will be told their training is superb. that's another big lie. You will be plopped down in front of computer screens and everything will be thrown on your lap. Meetings, reports, emails, drivers, inner office relations, company structure, phones, all just dumped on you with little to no explainations. IT IS A HUGE MISTAKE TO ASK FOR HELP OR SAY YOU NEED MORE TRAINING. The clock starts ticking on your allowed time there the minute you do. If you aren't magically absorbing this job then they feel you aren't up to their standards. They lean heavily on the crutch that "trucking is a fast paced environment and its not for everyone" so that they can avoid their own cupability in sub par training. There are some nice people there, but it's coworkers not management. Management is all fake smiles and fake empathy. They do not care about you or how you will pay your mortagage if they don't give you a fair chance. Either fit in immediately or bye. All you will get is lies about how "genuinley sorry they are this isn't the job for you." If you are in the industry you may enjoy Veriha but if you aren't already trained to do dispatch I strongly recommend going somewhere else. I've never worked for any company in any vocation that gives you less than 3 months to learn. Veriha was less than 6 weeks. 

Thankful and glad for the opportunity to start my CDL A driving career with Veriha. They accept drivers with no experience and those who have already obtained a CDL but have no previous CDL job experience. Finding a company that would accept me with no experience but had my CDL A already was difficult. I looked for over 3 months and was happy to have found Veriha. They were excited to take me on when no one else would. Theres a real sense of community and family at this company. The support I receive whilst out on the road is great I feel they do a good job majority of the time and this cuts down on my stress as a driver. The hardest part of this job can be time management. You may be thrown a curveball with broken down equipment or an issue at a customer and this can change your plans for the rest of the day/week. Its good to prepare for the unexpected because things dont always work the way you'd like them to. Whats most enjoyable about my work here is the freedom and solo aspect. If you are Christian and have been blue collar then you know it can be difficult working with other people who talk or act very crude. The fact I dont have to deal with that here is great and I really appreciate it.

As a regional driver you are committing to 2500 to 3000 miles driven in a week with really 2500 being the minimum expectation. Let’s set this as your goal and see if you can hit it as if there are bigger options available when you succeed. Once you are there for a few months you will learn that 2500 is the max and your normal is 1800 to 2200 a week. This is due to load planning typically starting your week with small 300 or so mile runs that go into the next day so your daily average falls fast. 

You can be a great employee and really even relied upon and praised yet not see any larger miles than this. While being a driver you will feel appreciated and known as a person and not a number. You will feel valued here each time you interact with any of the leaders. The equipment is nice and up to date as well. They are on the right path with how they treat their drivers and employees but just can’t figure out the miles to be profitable to regional drivers. The main issue is the start of the week being soft so when mid week comes they can’t send you far because of your guaranteed home time which they do support strongly. 

Turnover is high due to the miles not being achieved as set in all the recruitment materials.

If you are looking to invest all your time working, Veriha is your place. Your days go by quickly in the fast paced environment. There’s very few opportunities for advancement. Your co-workers are supportive and caring, but management is often in meetings or rarely available to assist you as needed. Need a day off? You’ll be finding your own coverage. Work/life balance is  nonexistent.   They    do compensate with being paid well, which makes leaving there difficult. The family aspect is wonderful and the owner is sweet. She just doesn’t know what’s all truest going on in her business. The are active in the community though, which makes you feel great workingthere. You will feel stressed often and you will spend a lot of time away from your family. Drivers can be difficult to deal with, but imagine being away from your family 14-16 hours per day, up to 12 days at a time. Overall, they try incorporating “fun” things, like book clubs but you won’t have time to read at work, so work time away from your family. I would suggest Veriha for a driver, or someone looking to dive into a career, or to get your foot into the the busy trucking life. Remember that the industry pretty much never shuts down. usy, finding time to visit a restroom can be difficult at times.

This company hands down is the best overall trucking company I’ve ever worked for. Safety is ALWAYS first. They strive for work/life balance. Great company to learn how to drive a truck. They are not a CDL MILL where they pump out drivers just because they need them regardless if the students know how to drive. They have high standards and expect you to meet them. When you are done with training, you will know how to safely move that 80k pound truck down the road. 
 Everyone knows your name. Management truly cares. Anytime there’s an issue, there is an honest open conversation and a solution to the issue that you have. They work with you to understand what your home time needs are and do everything in their power to get you home. 
Some people just can’t raise themselves to the standards the company sets. If your not self motivated, determined, have an attitude that is teachable and a willingness to learn. Trust the process, take instruction from teachers that have been in the industry for decades. Then perhaps this isn’t the place for you.

I am a former employee, and I was let go due to some things that I did that violated policy.  I will not speak ill of this company as they did treat me well, however, there are things that could improve with regards to drivers, home time, and pay/distance.
I have HAZMAT/Tanker endorsement and a TWIC card,  mostly HAZMAT was used and tanker on a few occasions, however, I never received a raise in CPM for these loads, when I should have due to the hazardous nature of hauling it, and everything that has to be done to do it safely.  
I did experience the ENTERTAINMENT side of it, and yet it was fun, time consuming, and there were too many "driver bosses" and not enough contact with home base.  Overall, if the pay were assessed based on experience and credentials, Id give it a 4 star rating, however, I am giving it 3 because they do value drivers, but if you don't work in the office, you pretty much go unheard to concerns and changes when suggested.

Well each and every company has it's pros and cons, we understand this. A company needs to what the cons are in order to fix them. The company has a great driver development program. Is it detailed, yes, and that means it's thorough. The coaching and mentoring atmosphere are complimentary to proactive skills development. The company has really gone the extra mile to ensure all drivers are properly coached. Every driver regardless of experience level can use coaching and refresher classes and reminders. When a driver believes they don't need to learn anymore than they already know, that's extreme complacency and something is going to happen. The company stands by the drivers and helps them at every turn. The culture and atmosphere are excellent. When you think about trucking, consider Veriha, they remember your name and will work with you through any issues you may have.
