Might be good, but not in Geismar...
Traffic Supervisor (Former Employee), Geismar, LA – April 28, 2013
Pros: good benefits
Cons: they don't care about you as a person or that you might have a family.
I had high hopes for this company... But working in Geismar was a nightmare and when I tried to transfer they would not let me even. Long days - 12 hours. Calls at home ALL THE TIME when you're supposed to be off. They don't care about family life at all, at least not in the Geismar terminal. I really enjoyed my times spent in the Texas operations for – more... training and visiting and would loved to have been allowed to transfer there, but they would rather lose their good help than allow them to transfer. They have a very high turnover rate in their management and supervisors at the terminal levels... signs of problems that they choose to ignore at the corporate level. – less

Trimac Transportation
U.S. Recruiter (Former Employee), Houston, TX – January 11, 2013
Pros: there are some outstanding people that work there.
Cons: the shorting of good drivers, and finding them.
I provided a full range of recruiting for 21 branches. Including working with branch personal, drivers and upper management.
I also enjoyed traveling to each branch for a wide range of support and hiring events.
As a ex-Owner-Operator I understood both views from the driver and management. This would help when issues would arise.

Everyday was like going to school, fantastic advancement
Branch Manager (Former Employee), Hayward, CA – December 22, 2012
Pros: great company to work for, being in control of your own destiny
Cons: health insurance, pay scale
I started with Trimac as a Traffic Supervisor. I completed my contract with them as a multiple Branch Manager. I had the greatest opportunity to be promoted three times within a four year period. This was only achieved by having the perfect mentor. I was put under the wing of the most achieved, well rounded Managers know throughout the tanker industry. – more... There is just too much for me to list concerning what I had learned.
Once again with the grooming that Trimac takes with all their managers. I had a perfect set of office, shop, and driving force.
The biggest obstacle that I once again found frustrating. Being in two places at the same time. Yes, all task could be met without physically being present. I just found that as a manager the more chances you have to intermingle with all your employees the happier your environment becomes.
I can not deny the accomplishment of being a upper level manager. I found myself running to work for the simple fact of other needing me. – less

Prepare to be a number
dispatch (Former Employee), houston,tx – December 6, 2012
i honestly don't think they care about an employee or the employee's family. lot of smoke and mirrors to try to keep people, but their turnover shows the true story. good place to learn before moving on to one of the many better companies out there. long days, calls all night, no support from management. no advancement opportunities once you get on – more... board. – less

DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT WORKING AT TRIMAC!
Driver (Former Employee), Wellford, SC – December 5, 2012
Pros: terminal manager is a nice guy.
Cons: you will not get paid for all you do
I have been a driver for going on 20 years, and I have worked for a bunch of terrible companies, but Trimac takes the cake, I was told upon being hired I would average $1,000 per week, and only be on the road 2-3 days at a time and home on weekends. TOTAL LIES. I have been strung out over the road for up to 8 days, then my pay would "mysteriously" get – more... screwed up. The pay is ridiculous and impossible to understand, so it is easy for the company to not pay you correctly. The burden of proving it lies on the driver. The management is nice enough but that doesn't pay the bills. There is also a major lack of communication within the administration. Too bad because this could be a great place to work. – less

Work location means all the difference.
Driver (Former Employee), North Carolina – November 22, 2012
Pros: nice people
Cons: pay affected by outside sources to much. way to many hours for the amount of pay.
In my opinion this was the worst place I have ever worked. That being said I think it was my location. Waited over four weeks for the trainer to show up so he could sign me off, during that time I was on training pay and barely made ends meet. Make sure you understand the pay structure, your pay is affected by many outside factors, such as weather, – more... customers not working. Many days I would work for less than minimum wage. Again I believe it was my location, other locations seem to be a totally different eexperience. – less

Great people to work with, Upper Managment lacking
Administrative Clerk (Former Employee), Geismar, LA – November 11, 2012
Pros: paid vacations
Cons: lack of managment
Closing work order for the maintenace shop, Working closly with the Shop Manager and all maechanics, Accounts payable and Recieveable, Planning company events, Purchasing, Fuel reports and fuel cards, working with drivers to insure they have what they need.
Lack of Management for the over all Branch creates a very confusing work enviorment. Lower levels – more... of managment very good.
I really like what I am doing it is challenging and I find I am learning something new everyday.
Co-workers are all very nice and easy to work with. – less

A good Company to work for
Driver Service Manager (Former Employee), Haysville, KS – September 25, 2012
A very fast pace company. I learned all about dispatching tractors with orders to be delivered for our customers. Management was good to work with. Co-workers were good to work with. the hardest part of the job was learning all the different location directions for delivery. The best part was interacting with the customers and the drivers.

good work but lack of motivation.
Mechanic (Former Employee), Tulsa, OK – May 14, 2012
Pros: learn allot in tractor and trailer repairs
Cons: lack of motivation and initative
All I can say is that I learn allot during my time there as a mechanic but the motivation from higher above and other employes were just dragging me down. I work way too hard for the pay. The place was too dirty and other mechanics didn't care about the customers. It was very hard for me to keep up with my "Gun Ho" Marine Corp attitude while others – more... hide in the corners and smoke the day away. – less

Trimac is an excellent Company to work for
Professional Driver (Current Employee), Rock Springs, WY – April 23, 2012
Pros: pay, benefits, equipment, training...
I work for Trimac, as a driver, and I can honestly recommend this company to anyone who is considering applying.
The pay and benefits are great, and if you like working in a family type atmosphere, then you will love working for Trimac.

This Company Is A Joke!
mechanic (Former Employee), dundas – May 2, 2013
Pros: no pros!
Cons: all cons: you will hate your life there!
This company is a joke, the shop manger has no idea what hes doing, honestly not really sure he knows what a truck is. The shope as some good people working there but have all stopped caring after dealing with the company for so long. the only people that should even think of working for this company are people with no skills and can shut there brains – more... off and listen to a boss that has no idea what hes doing. Its a place to go to end your work life and never do any real work. If your not working there but thinking about it RUN!! – less

This place is a nightmare
Mechanic (Former Employee), Dundas Ontario – April 30, 2013
Pros: no pros only cons.
Cons: see review
I have worked at this Dundas branch and it is a complete joke.
The management is the most dishonest and unorganized people I have worked with. Everybody in the shop is miserable because of the shop manager who is a complete idiot!

Nice and Quiet
Tax & Licensing Coordinator (Former Employee), Calgary, AB – December 13, 2012
Pros: potluck every fridays
Cons: not enough time to eat lunch
Some management were friendly, and some were stingy
Was there as a temp
Was critized alot for being free, when I had all my work completed far in advanced and at 100 percent completion.
Management in the Licencing Department was very strict and wanted to know everyones personal life and then used it against us.

Pay wasn't great for the amount of work – more... I did and that I completed it early and way before the deadline.

Would start at 8 am to 4pm and half hour lunch – less
