Yarde Metals, Inc.

Former Driver out of Albany NY First 3 months not bad and I thought I hit the retirement job. The shuttle driver told me when I started don’t trust shuttle drivers they are spy’s and Rats to get brownie points. Well he was right on that because he was the one doing it.They have the most confusing rules and sometimes one Contradicts the other. Like the appearance policy have to have 2 people in shop at all times to clean. Ok then the transportation manager comes and yells at one driver while the other is on vacation. A good way to single out a newer guy to take the blame. Another example of this crack pot company- I was venting one day it was a Busy dayand the  RAT BOY ran back and told the manager what I said. The manager could of taken what was said as resigning from a 3rd person. What the???  So
The morale is if you work here and brown nose and maybe you might get a  leadership roll but most like not because your not in CT  I can see where it use to be a good job but they come out with the most half backwards policy and procedures it’s crazy  just because something looks good on paper means it’s enjoyable to do. This place NEEDS TO UNIONIZE is the rest of the workers has the guts to get a union in their. It’s the only chance they have!  I definitely fore see a revolving door for drivers and I here the warehouse is already there  My 1 year experience with Yarde Metals is avoide it at all costs  They fired me today because the team leader/shuttle driver got my face and I held my ground l I didn’t yell he got loud not me ! well I got fired today and going back to construction Monday back to Journeyman better pay and definitely better culture.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great place to work if you can follow protocol and be on time. Very strict on safety equipment and procedures.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing that stressful. Just have to put on the ppe at each stop in order to comply with the safety measures.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Safety huddle every morning… crew leaders are easy to get along with at my location.  They try to not hold us up and let us strap down and get on with our day after a quick reminder about a safety topic. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As a driver: secure load , tarp load if necessary.  Deliver material and return to shop. Pretty good gig.. Mon- Fri. No weekends or days away from home!!  The best kind of truck driving job if you like your home life / family! I

What I liked about the company was that it was challenging, it pushed me to reach the extent of my working ability day to day. Great demonstration of a high quality organizational image to internal and external parties. Typical day at work consisted of starting with setting up for runs, checking loads, then being able to successfully coordinate making deliveries in a timely manner. Management was great, never had issues. They were very reliable, professional and made the working environment comfortable for employees. Workplace culture was very diverse and welcomed all different individuals from all ages and walks of life. Most enjoyable was satisfying our customers. I would have to say the hardest part was not meeting expectations of our clientele.

I started working for the company thru a temp service and got hire in 6mos later and i worked there for 5plus years your not a number they call you buy your  name with an open door policy, clean work place and there equipment is good and well maintained and there driver pay exceeds industry standards buy far. So if your the kind of person who is responsibl,respectful and reliable and trustworthy  Give this company a call it’s a hidden gem .

A typical day would start with calibrating measuring equipment and machines, collect your work orders locate the material and start cutting .
The hardest part of the job is the intense heat due to the fact the warehouse is filled with all kinds of metal plates and bars wich retain lots of heat, the warehouse is not air conditioned due to the nature of the bussiness .
The best part of the job is the wages, being one of the top 10 paying companies in the state.

Yarde Meals is a great place to work. They provide competitive a salary, Matching 401K, Good Healthcare, Complete Gym on Site, job advancement opportunities, & are community oriented. They people there are friendly and become more like family, the longer you work at Yarde. Work is work, some days are good, some are stressful. The great thing is the support you get, not only from management, but from the awesome HR department. The people there are friendly & some have become very close friends.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Benefits and pay were pretty decent

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Overloading the smaller truck when clearly a semi truck could have been used instead of jamming it all on a small flatbed truck

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was ok, I’ve worked in worse environments elsewhere

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Morning dragged until delivery truck showed up then you unload that truck and reload your truck then plan route out accordingly

I have learned how to interact with both internal and external customers. I have a very busy day at work everyday.  I have over 30 responsibilities.  My co-workers are great.  The afternoons are the hardest for me as I have to answer the phone plus make sure all my paperwork for outgoing material is completed to be loaded on the trucks for delivery the next day. I enjoy all my duties and that I am able to complete all by the end of my work day.

Every day is interesting an versatile.  Never the same thing.  I enjoy learning something new about our products and processes everyday. We are able to build close relationships with our vendors.  My co-workers are a pleasure to work with in a team atmosphere.  The most challenging part of my day can be the pressures of making on-time deliveries due to circumstances beyond my control.

You will work over 10 hours as a driver, you need to have a strong work ethic to do this job. Safety is first for everything, do your job right and get it done. If you have a problem with working hard long hours or being late, this isn’t for you.  Follow this, you are golden. Pay is decent and benefits are great. The hiring process takes about a month, don’t get discouraged because of this. Management will take care of you as long as YOU do your part.
