Great place to work

Truck Driver (Former Employee) - North Chili, NY - September 26, 2023

Loved working here. Other driver are super helpful. Only one boss that can be tough to deal with but other than that a piece of cake. Would’ve stayed had the pandemic not messed things up.

Working

Truck Driver Class A (Current Employee) - Huber Heights, OH - August 31, 2023

I would say the best part of this job is the pay and benefits. Center manager is great, some other OM’s are great as well, others not so much. You learn as you work who is going to have your back and who isn’t. The work isn’t terrible just some workers don’t care as much as others do.

Pros

Good management, great pay and benefits

Cons

Employees don’t care about the freight.

Linehaul driver.

Truck Driver Class A (Current Employee) - Middletown, PA - May 4, 2023

When we are busy, it's great money wise if you're at the bottom of the extra board...life will be rough...very. you will be sent to all the lovely places no one else wants to go to(looking at you west long Island and all of NJ) I was bottom guy for well over a 1yr 6months....but once I started getting guys below me it became easier. When we are slow....it's pretty bad you don't know when you'll be called or if at all, you can work the dock for 8hrs a night if you want....but if you are the bottom guy and decide to work the dock and they pop up with a west long Island and no one takes it and you might be 4hrs in on working the dock and gate out at 5am welp good luck on your 14hr day there driver:) other than that I can not complain I've worked at A LOT of warehouses and 1 other ltl company and I've never been treated as good as I am here I truly like my dispatchers 99% of them are rock stars my OMs are good people and actually give a *fill in blank* ? about their drivers. Besides ups we are paid pretty good at top rate when we are busy it's not uncommon to make 2k-2600 a week(b4 taxes) it's hard to make that as a local driver home every night (unless on a layover bid) most otr guys ain't even hitting 1500 b4 taxes and they live in a truck...think about that.

Pros

Pay, benefits, dispatch, 2015ish to 2023 trucks all auto maybe 1% of the fleet is standard.

Cons

At the will of the economy if it's bad we are struggling for runs...

Always busy

Truck Driver Class A (Former Employee) - Fife, WA - April 30, 2023

Personally, I don’t care for LTL but it’s work and it’s consistent. The Pay was best I’ve seen in the local trucking industry and benefits were great,.I am a early morning person and I started there that way, by the end the had me working the evening shift and that is the main reason I left.

Pros

They had work

Cons

Work shifts

Good place to make some serious money

Truck Driver Class A (Former Employee) - Huber Heights, OH - April 10, 2023

I worked here for 24 years before retiring. You can make excellent money, but you will work some long hours. The benefits are decent and the more seniority you have, the more choices in runs you will have.
