Velocity Rail Solutions reviews

Pros

Great team of drivers and floaters that are willing to help you out with anything you need to do your job to the fullest on a daily. Weekly pay, double pay on holidays if scheduled to work, new equipment being phased in, some downtime on certain days while on duty. There are some good people in management that will go above and beyond if you have pay issues, etc.

Cons

Pros

Laid back, steady pay, opportunities to make more money/ advancement, train at your own pace.

Cons

The equipment in some yards is generally old and prone to breaking down. Also, most new drivers have an E restriction and many yards with Velocity have manuals, so if someone gets fired/ quits there's a manpower shortage that can last months.

The pay if you can tolerate the B.S

Do your research on this company via Indeed or Google and look at the previous employee's responses. everyone can't be lying about this company.
