CPC logistics. Walgreens mt Vernon, iL

Dodge4x4 · Apr 19, 2014

Cpc does walgreens nationwide. It is the same company... A few spots up a driver said he was happy with the company... That's the only person I've ever talked to who was... But I don't know about other domiciles. My experience has been the opposite. I do know that they have a real hard time retaining people in Mt. Vernon.

Its plain to see that Walgreens Moreno Valley, CA run by Gonzolo Luna is no different. Your details are quite accurate and Walgreens does not care about what it takes to unload a trailer that was loaded by some idiot who can't even pick his nose. I recently gave a 2 weeks notice and Gonzolo said no let's make it effective immediately! I was in my car traveling home at the time but wish he would have text me that while I was enroute to a store. Since I have left 2 weeks ago 2 more drivers gave notice and Gonzo gave them his size 5 boot or smaller square up the ### just as he did me. This description of unloading the water and lack of humanitarian concern is clearly outlined by you! Walgreens needs educated on logistics and the importance the drivers are to customer service but I am soooo happy to be gone.

If this guy thinks he's got it bad now, wait 'til he's at the bottom of the board at his new "union" job. He'll be lucky to get any hours at all, and being a "casual" at a freight company is no easy gig.

This has got to be the worst job I have ever had. There are so many things wrong with this place I don't even know where to start.

I guess first and foremost if you are applying with this account please be advised that the manager for CPC will tell you anything to get you in the door. But the truth be told everything he tells you is a lie. If you do happen togoto work for these guys don't plan on getting any time off and never get sick, you will be required to work anyway. you will not receive the personal days you are given and they will cancel your vacation at the last minute. Their company policy states that you are not guaranteed the vacation dates you select even if approved. Any non refundable plans you make are at the sole discretion of the employee and will not be reimbursed by cpc if your vacationis canceled. If your vacation is canceled you will be assigned a week by your manager as CPC does not payout for vacation at the end of the year. Sounds like a top notch company so far,right...

Their equipment is junk. Most trucks have 800,000 plus miles on them. They leak fluids, have bad tires, electrical problems, lights don't work, air leaks, heat and ad don't work and exhaust leaks just to name a few. If you notify dispatch about truck problems, depending on who you talk to, you will either get brushed off and nothing done or be told "every time you get into a truck you find a problem, there is nothing wrong with that truck take it anyway."
If you break down it is on you, don't expect any help frm transportation, they won't even call the road service for you.

The trailers you will have to unload are a joke. The loads are hand loaded and floor stacked. You will setup rollersin the trailer to unload everything by hand. There is no load securment at Walgreens. They say that the dot does not require them to secure their loads. When you get in your trailer most of the time it will be loaded to the very backand all the way to the ceiling. You will have to hang off the side of the trailer to get started, if it doesn't fall out on the ground first. Plan on unloading about 40000 lbs of stuff a day. The fun part is unloading full pallets of drinking water in 24 packs. There is nothing on the bottom of the water besides plastic film.they do not roll. You will have to push them to the end of the truck. I've had as many as 10 pallets (84 cases each) on a truck plus all the other crap. The way they load the trucks you will always have freight falling on you. Most of the time all the heavy stuff is on the top. After you are finnished with your route, plan on getting back hauls. This consists of going to a supplier and hand unloading all the totes you picked up throughout your day, putting them on an empty staged trailer and reloading. It will take about 1 to 2 hrs.

You will be working 60 hrs a week. You will start your day between 5:00 and 8:00 am and work about 12 to 14 hours a day. If there is a hiccup in their plan they will tell you that dot has approved them to temporarley opperate on the 70 hr clock. Yeah right!!! Pay is ok but it isn't worth the headaches this place causes.

Cpc is nothing more than a big temp agency. You are not guaranteed a job or any hours. Walgreens makes all the calls on everything. From time off, schedules to even who works or not. CPC is a bunch of gutless turds that will NOT
stand up for their employees. all they are interested in is keeping a driver there to be their mule for a while. They don't care about you, your family or anyone else's well being. You are nothing but a disposable monkey to them. They will work you into the ground and then get rid of you unless you have had enough and quit before they get the chance.

I hope this helps some other poor fellow before they get suckered like I did.

I thought CPC hauled for "BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE"? And the SPOTTERS also?
