Apache Logistics reviews

The safety department is not good at all, rear facing cameras watch you constantly, very intrusive,just also very unprofessional, I would avoid if offered again no question.

Started working for this company back in 2021. The original dispatcher was a woman (whose name I won't give. Out of respect for her privacy). But we'll call her Ms. S. Ms. S was an awesome dispatcher. She let drivers do their job and didn't bother them. She was very nice, respectful, and had great interpersonal skills. Anytime she contacted you while on the road, she always had a bright and bubbly personality and was a pleasure to deal with. But unfortunately she ended up going on maternity leave and the 2 incompetent individuals that replaced her, made continuing to work at this company impossible. Apache Logistics had a contract with a trailer parts distributor based out of Byron Center, MI. Ms. S literally ran this account for years and did an awesome job managing the account and maintaining a great relationship with drivers and customers. This account paid .72cpm. You would typically hook to a loaded trailer out of Byron Center, MI and deliver 12-14stops. The west coast run is really good and you'll average $1,200-$1,800 net (depending on deductions)/wk. The money was good, but the 2 individuals in the dispatch office who are now managing this account while Ms. S is on leave will ruin this contract for this company. These individuals are now micro managing drivers. They are incredibly rude, short, and unprofessional in phone conversations (if you're able to even reach them). Drivers now have to get permission to do anything [where they didn't before and had full autonomy to appropriately do their job]. The new operations team is also unnecessarily scrutinizing drivers receipts for work related reimbursement. So now it's really up in the air, if you spend your own money for a work related expense, you may not get reimbursed. Also don't expect to know or interact with anyone from the Apache Logistics corporate team in Holland, MI. They are completely disconnected from your day to day operations and they're impossible to get ahold of. You also have extreme difficulty reaching the 2 new operations managers out in Byron Center, MI. One never answers his phone and is completely clueless and the other you may or may not be able to reach. The second most recent addition to the operations team has only been there for a month and knows nothing but is pushing around drivers and trying to exert his authority. There were only 3 people that kept me working at this job. And after my favorite dispatcher left on leave (as she has a right to do) things just went down hill and the work environment is extremely toxic. If I were you I'd try and get a job directly with the customer as a driver. New Life Transport Parts Center (Byron Center, MI). I don't recommend any driver work for Apache Logistics. Seek better opportunities. **My apologies. Review may contain grammatical errors**

This place is a joke running by LGBT, IF YOUR ONE OF THEM YOU GET LOADS FRIST IF NOT YOU'RE HAVE SIT UNTIL THEY GET AROUND TOO SGIN U ON A LAOD . VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, DONT FOLLOW DOT LAWS, MAKE ALL DRIVER UNLOAD THE TRAILERS AT 10. BUCK PER STOP. DISPATCH WILL BITE INTO YOUR FOOD YOU ORDERED FROM THEM AND THEY WILL DRINK HALF OF YOUR POP. THERE TRUCKS DO HAVE BED BUGS, DISPATCH SMOKE CIGARETTES AND BLOW SMOKE INTO YOUR FACE, OR WEED SMOKE ,NO BODY WIPS THERE HANDS AFTER USING THE BATHROOM THE WOMEN ARE MOSTLY ???????????? OF SEEING BLOOD ON THERE HAND AFTER THEY USED THE BATHROOM. ????????. Yuck Yuck Yuck ????!!

I have only three good things to say about this company. The pay is great, the equipment is relatively new and, my dispatcher is hands down one of the best, hardest working and most understanding dispatchers I have worked with in my 20 years of driving. The management in Holland, however, has very clearly constructed a firewall between themselves and their drivers. They like to crow about how much they've grown, but for those of us who drive for them, it is apparent that this growth will not be sustainable due to their unwillingness to support some of their most valuable employees. The management team has disdain for, and will display outright contempt for drivers who are not part of their juvenile clicky social circle. To be clear, I am a driver with almost 2 million safe miles, and years of customer service that have garnered compliments both from our client as well as a customers that I serve. Serve. I am not a disgruntled cry baby, just someone could sees the potential difference company , and have become increasingly frustrated with the lack of support that they display towards some of their hardest working and most competent professionals. There are much better companies to work for in this area. What does this mean for anyone considering working here? They are struggling with driver retention, and as a result, even if you have vacation time available, they do not have the drivers to cover you. Your concerns and issues, will go eternally unresolved. I cannot in good conscience. Recommend working for this company, although there are worse.

New & clean equipment, new technology, weekends off, great pay, great dispatch & support team, awesome high-end freight & friendly customers. Benefits are great too! Be honest and safe & you will never want to leave!
