california freight

After about a week of working for California freight I can say this experience was very overwhelming. They hired me right after I graduated driving school. I did everything they asked of me I showed up early every day and even came in on my day off. On top of learning how to drive a loaded milk tanker in real life situations you also have to remember the locations of where all the different dairies are in a town that most likely not familiar with. You have to learn the sanitation methods and all the unique ways to hook up the hoses and connections. There is also a ton of paperwork and a mobile manifest that you have to learn. But what finally made me throw in the towel was when I made a mistake backing one of the tankers and the trainer got in my face and made me feel disrespected. I quit moments after that. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was not a good place no pay for repairs or maintenance that takes way to long at there shop. And disrespectful dispatchers that have never driven a truck. Work on your 10/34 off cause the keep you in the ag zone while needing rest time off. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very little time to rest and too tight of dispatch’s then when it’s slow work every other day and no miles. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They don’t care about your home life. They talk to drivers with little to no respect. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work 5 to 18 hours a day a lot of wait to be loaded or unloaded.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great company. They hired me fresh out of Truck school in 2019.  Allowed me the opportunity to gain my experience and also home daily. Now I’m an owner operator with my own trucks. Highly recommended. Thanks California Freight!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If your looking for the hours you’ll get them here.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Some beautiful sight seeing to Petaluma. Picking up milk from dairies.

I wish that we wouldn't have lost a couple of accounts when we did, because I was the last person hired so I was the first to be let go. The management are wonderful very understanding easy to talk to and they try to help you out as much as they can. The other drivers are hard workers but they never leave you hanging you always have your wing man . And always polite. They all treat you like family, even the management treat you like family. They are wonderful.

Good Company!  The OTR division isn't for the faint of heart.  You can get good miles and the pay is good. They offer Medical, dental and vison and the 401K is one of the best I have came across.  The dispatchers are fair and do a really good job of getting me home when I ask.  They don't dispatch you illegal and if you get held up.. they adjust the delivery to compensate. Equipment is good and they seem to really care about they're employees.  I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!!  

I love being able to give back to the world! A smile travels a long way……a long way……..Being around animal's and people that work hard is a blessing to all! Hardest part of the job is patience. The most enjoyable part is being thankful that I take care of my family and giving  back to the community!

16 hour days - No home life. Sloppy dispatchers. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work work work... hours hours hours 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Bring your pillow, it's going to be a long night.

I worked in the line division as a driver primarily running I-5. I had a fairly regular run that got me home multiple times a week. I worked for them and they worked for me. Pay was fairly decent for the minimal amount of actual work it takes to hold a steering wheel and shift, also the benefits were very good.

Out of all the companies I worked for, this is the best.  Other companies make claims that they care, and/or treat you like family - Calfreight doesn't make this claim because it shows it by action.

Would work for this company again if I could.
