enterprise transportation

I would like to hear from some guys who are currently working for this outfit or who have worked for them in the past. I am really interested in the pay and the cost of family health ins. to the driver. B.T.W. this is the tanker outfit from Houston, TX.

 

Does anybody know about this company i've seen their trucks. but i dont know anything would be helpful

 

Enterprise Transportation is the trucking arm of a much larger "Conglomerate" that includes chemical plants, natural gas processing facilities and pipelines, liquid product pipelines, and electricity generation.

The drivers have the same benefits as the rest of the "company" employees, and every one of them I have ever talked with, are happy with the company. You need a darned good work record to get on with them.

I've worked for them for the last 5 months and would have to say it's the best company that I've worked for that isn't union (Some terminal's are unionized mine isn't). Here's some of the basic's:

10 paid holidays
Company paid long and short term disability
Company paid uniforms
Traditional or Roth 401k with 6% match 100%
Profit sharing put directly into company retirement plan
Your choice of traditional medical or hsa

Good luck,

Are you still with Enterprise ? What are the things about them that you like, and the things that you don't ? Are they keeping you busy ? How many miles a week are you averaging ? Thanks.

 

Yes I am still here. My average miles are around 2300
They are not as good a company as they were though. A couple of months ago they initiated some compensation cuts that have made it not much better than anywhere else.

We used to get hose wash pay of $15.00-gone
We used to get $50.00 layover for every 12 hrs, we now have to be without dispatch for 24 hrs to get $100.00.
We used to get paid the first 4 hrs of a breakdown and then get paid 1 out of every 3 thereafter up to 10. Now we give the first 4 hrs of a breakdown and then get paid 1 out of every 3 thereafter up to 8. (And my truck is constantly breaking down)
We used to get a motel if on the road for your 34 hour reset. Now we have to stay in the truck.
8 holidays instead of 10

If I thought it was a financial problem I would be more understanding. But the economy is on the upswing and they're initiating these changes. Also the owner just died and I believe it's a management change that will only get worse

I wouldn't recommend them if you have the opportunity to get on with Highway, Miller or Superior.
If they get into our medical or retirement I'll be looking elsewhere.

 

If I may ask, what terminal are you based out of ? Thanks

 

I prefer not to disclose that as you never know who is reading the boards.

I do need to correct something I said above though---- We do get a motel for 1 night of our 34hr restart.

Did you decide to go with them?

 

No problem, I completely understand.

I have it down to them and Kenan. Kenan's pay works out to be lower, but the position is local, for a 2pm - 11pm shift, overtime after 44 hours, pay 15.50 per hour. Also, Kenan's terminal is an hour away from where I live, so that translates to a 2 hour commute each day. Enterprise's is a regional position, where I'd be out for 5-6 days, then home for a day or two. How much hometime do you get, and what's your average weekly pay working out to, if you don't mind me asking ?
