My experience at holland enterprises

My biggest fear is walking around inspecting the truck and stepping into Punjabi.

 

As a recruiter for Holland, let me say that it is pretty bad that someone has to create multiple accounts to try to slam a company. I have been engaging with Diego, Million Safe Miles, Jenna, Ryan or whatever name they want to use today for quite a while. I was a driver for Holland for 4 years and they never treated me badly, never made me sleep in the truck when my APU wasn't working, never made me pay a late fee out of my own pocket, or any of the other things alleged here. Best I can tell, he hasn't worked for Holland for years now and is still going on and on, so I can only hope he finds happiness somewhere that will let him move on.

 

Would not recommend Holland Enterprise in Mapleton, for the following:

Warning: They will coerce you into driving through blizzards when it is not safe.

1. You will lose $50,000.00 every year you work for Holland Enterprises.

2. You will be cheated out of detention pay more often than you will be paid.

3. They do not pay you anything to attend their orientation.

4. There is no sign on bonus.

5. They will put negative information on your DAC report without telling you if your truck is damaged but it is not your fault so insurance will cover it.

6. You will be treated inhumanely if your APU breaks down during winter being forced to run with no heat since their trucks will not idle.

7.You will have more than one dispatcher constantly wreaking havoc on smooth running load planning.

8. The pay is amongst the lowest in the industry.

9. You will have to constantly watch your paycheck for being cheated out of detention or not being reimbursed for work related expenses.

10. You will be forced to chain and risk your life in winter when other companies recommend you to shut down while giving you inclement weather pay.

My opinion: You will lose on average $50,000.00 every year you work for Holland Enterprises, compared to working elsewhere especially with the recent supply chain shortage exacerbated by the shortage of truck drivers.

Good luck!

 

Well I dunno about any of that, I’ve never worked there. But the best part is you made this post, and then signed in on your other account and “liked” it.

 

It’s time to change your broken record.

 

Well been on the road over five years and talked with maybe a half dozen of their drivers..all were happy except one of them and he said they were just so so..None of them even mentioned wanting a referral bonus. I dunno got them at the top of my list still but it's likely gonna be next year..

 

It's got to count for something to only have 1 or 2 loads a week imho.
But w of the river it's gonna be a bear at 67mph

 

I am a recruiter now, but I was a driver for Holland for 4 years but I was a deck-set driver for 15 years before that. Driving wide-open Western Stars from Portland across Wyoming was nice but getting laid-off from that job 2-4 times a year wasn't. I did it for 15 years because it paid so well. I moved to Holland because of the stability and was happy to know I could drive a 68 mph truck all year without filing for unemployment.

 

Must not have been a driver at HLLE Long.

 

As I said, I drove for Holland for 4 years, been a recruiter since I come off of the road in June of last year.
