Walgre Transport Inc.

If I could give zero stars I would when I begin working for this company they were a great small company I honestly think they grew too big too fast considering the market once the pressure landed on this company they began to take it out on their drivers forcing them to pay for things that should be covered by the company. They are treating drivers like they are owner operators but without the pay their pay has decreased drastically in the past you would bring home over $2k now you can barely squeeze $1,200 out in a week. If you are coming up on good miles to accumulate a great decent check they will cut your miles and give you a shorter route to keep you from getting a big check. They also take miles from your check and it takes days before you can get anyone to respond to you about it and they promise to replace it but they will not. I decided to leave and not drive a truck again after working for these guys

I’ll start with the pros. I was able to get home whenever on time for the most part. When I started I got decent miles but tapered off very fast. That coupled with poor slow dispatching was just a recipe for disaster. I would say about 75% of the time I was waiting anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours for my next dispatch. There were even times when I would just be ghosted and not hear anything at all for the rest of the day/weekend. I would then be told it was because there were no loads. Most of the trucks are filthy on the inside and/or bad mechanical condition. I had watch my paychecks very very closely because they were constantly missing miles and deducting money for numerous odd reasons. It was like pulling teeth to get any detention, layover, or breakdown pay. It was also very difficult to get reimbursement and paid for miles that were missed, constantly just getting the run around.

The company starts with an impressive onboarding process, providing good opportunities for miles and pay during the first couple of months. However, after this initial period, I experienced a noticeable decline in the number of miles and pay, followed by delays and inconsistent communication regarding compensation.

For example, I had over 47.5 hours of detention pay and 3 days of breakdown pay that were not compensated. Despite following up numerous times and providing documentation, the resolution process was prolonged, and I received conflicting information.

Additionally, the trucks I received were often in need of thorough cleaning and attention, which affected the overall work environment. Given my experience, I would recommend carefully considering all aspects before making a decision to join.

The environment was very pleasant. I like the fact that I could call and get help from our bosses or management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day would probably be Traffic going back-and-forth through the Atlanta and Traffic in Ohio, and so forth, but still able to take care of my time points with customers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part. Dispatch lies all the time to get you do something. They don’t pay for all miles. They don’t pay breakdown they really don’t care about the driver at all

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything.  Worse company I ever worked for in 30 yrs

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They don’t care about the driver at all

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wake. Rush to make a delivery and wait for dispatch to figure out what is next.

I’ve been here two weeks and I’ve done had 3 full days home and the company made sure I didn’t miss my dr appointment at the end of the week I came out from being home. They have brand new trucks and great trailers. Applying is simple and they are will to work with you on the day you get to Ohio for orientation. They will get you in a truck and rolling asap. Don’t miss don’t on working here!

They hired me straight out school. Team driving not for the weak. I was excited to be on the road,  however I hated night driving. Cons would be benefits package never really had one you paid into it but I got a bill for services where I used the health insurance and never got a clear answer from HR about it. Pros if you want to drive and need experience they'll hire you

Structured very similar to ChicagoLand companies. Safety is not important. Equipment is  below FMCSA standards. Pay deductions for supplied eld malfunctions. Independent contractors treated as company drivers. OTR drivers treated as local drivers w/o local pay. A lot of prohibited/illegal/unsafe practices. 

Management is helpful and the work environment is positive. The most enjoyable part was the steady miles, good pay and reliable equipment. Overall, a good company to work for with consistent freight and opportunities to earn.
