Cassens Transport reviews

If I could give this company 0 stars I would but I have to at least mark 1 to make this review. This company… 1.) Does not give you the proper tools to do your job. Meaning decent safe trucks to perform your job adequately. 2.) when your truck is broke down, take a spare truck then that one is broke down and after that no other truck avail so you sit around waiting for a call to tell you when your truck is fixed (sometimes 5-7 days) but they want to deny you pay and come up with whatever bs reason not to pay you. 2.) notorious for playing head games and coming up with new rules or rules that support their argument with whatever. 3.) border line harassment 4.) straight up dishonest 5.) no one in management cares about you driving an unsafe truck, listening to your valid concerns, about getting home on weekends/holidays or even Dr’s appointments that were put in for and improved month or so ahead of time 6.) they deny everything agsin coming up with whatever new bogus rule or insanely sounding excuses they see fit or to support their bs lies or to screw you out of money, etc etc 7.) they say you get vacation, but try taking it bc they make you feel horrible or complain about it or flat out refuse after it’s been approved for months 8.) majority of management are all in this sick game and total disrespect for drivers making it a miserable place to work and making drivers feel like they have no voice and can’t do anything about it. 9.) everytime you go into the trailer, same people are eating constantly. It’s grazing all day long and that’s important than taking time out to take care of drivers needs. 10.) you call to let them know about an issue and told I will call you right back but don’t call you at all leaving you stranded, etc etc 11.) total 100% unprofessionalism at all levels on almost every aspect of this job. 12.) total disrespect for drivers 13.) ethics is a huge concern at Cassens 14.) short freight 15.) almost like they enjoy drama and chaos and always starting it or promoting it. 16.) always always always writing majority of drivers up for whatever they can and appears they get enjoyment out of doing so. Write you up for the most redic things I have ever heard of. I honestly don’t know how they get by with 1/2 of it but apparently upper management doesn’t care and approves their games as well. Seems majority of their work load during day is writing up and giving reprimands. I don’t know how anything really even gets done bc of all the reprimands. Their job duties can not be completed or completed correctly or in a timely manner bc of all the redic unfounded reprimands. 17.) so many redic rules that they come up with as they go 18.)Def play favorites 19.) drivers can not make their daily guarantee but I can guarantee you one thing… they make their daily guarantee with the multiple and I mean multiple reprimands for majority of drivers 20.) did I mention total lack of respect for the driver, if your sick, fam sick, or even if your in hospital, they still don’t care and make you feel terrible leading to anxiety and other health issues *Do NOT apply here or think about working here bc you will experience exactly what I mentioned above. If you do, you will see 100% what I mentioned above is LEGIT! Dont say I didn’t warn you!! Do yourself a favor and bypass this company!!

Very good job. Not for everyone but if you like the work it’s good. Except insurance great pension. No dock times. The truck gets loaded and unloaded in the time you do it. Not by someone on a forklift at there pleasurable time. Equipment does have some issues but all trucks do nowadays. If you’ve ever done any other trucking and know all the bs that goes with it then you would realize that this is the top of the food chain in trucking. Those who #### and maybe an about it need go work somewhere else for a few months. Guaranteed they be back or wishing they hadn’t left. It’s not perfect by no means but where is?

Management does not care about what you have going on. Even an approved vacation or time off. Equipment is garbage, and that is being nice. The mechanics do not know/care about doing their job correctly. Weekly home time, but comes at a cost. Weekly pay is good, but fighting for all your breakdown pay will take months. You fight for months over a hundred or less. Just to have them try and settle for half. The equipment is garbage. Even brand new 2025 trucks don’t make it 3 loads and they get sent back to the dealership. And the company wants you to pull a un-roadworthy truck off the fence and drive it.

After 85+ years the Company remains in operation and privately held by the family. Given the nature of the industry with rising costs and stagnant, at best, rates from the manufacturers, a very slim profit margin has been the norm for decades. Yet they still meet all financial obligations and are constantly updating their fleet. Are all trucks new? no. Is everyone happy? no. Find me a place where they are. But those in leadership roles operate with the long term stability of the Company as the focus and thereby work to preserve the jobs of all employees. All locations have different traffic patters as dictated by the customer, and the freight is dispatched in accordance with the rules & regulations as set forth by national and local Teamster contracts.
