Sorry for the delayed response, but it was a long week and I crashed when I got home from work yesterday.
With regard to your questions, I must first say “The views expressed in this post are my own. They have not
been reviewed or approved by Quantix.”
Since we're still operating as Mid-States Packaging (MSP), it sounds like some things you've mentioned will indeed be changing over the next few months. In short, from everything I've seen and heard so far, Quantix management will be making some very positive changes for us drivers and I look forward to that. The current situation is pretty good IMO, but I think it's going to get even better.
Regarding pay, for those of us running out of the South Portland Yard (SoPo), we currently get paid by-the-load unless doing something like running equipment down to MA. When that happens, it's a fair hourly rate IMO. The current benefits plan is pretty good, although that too sounds like it will get better when Quantix has complete management control. As far as the schedule goes, that depends on the loads being delivered. I've been working six days a week, but get home every night. We strictly have Mack daycabs running out of SoPo, and I have no idea if that will change to include any sleepers. I believe some major changes in our day-to-day operations will begin within the next two weeks, but I haven't heard all of the details yet. As far as who our customers are, I can't reveal that information. However, I can say that we are currently only doing dry bulk out of SoPo, but I'm not sure if that's going to change.
In closing, I'm very positive about the changes coming under Quantix management. Like you, I like doing dry bulk and hope to be able to stick with it... but we'll see what happens with the upcoming changes. If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know. Otherwise, good luck with the rest of your application and/or interview process.

I’m happy with my company, but I’m looking for a change. If Quantix is meant to be, then great. If not, I’m happy where I’m at and I’ll keep looking until something better comes along.
If I have any more questions, I’ll send you a DM. Thanks againAdrock78 Thanks this. -

And now that MSP and Quantix are the same I'll bet they load at Formosa in Point Comfort. Probably other places too.Adrock78 Thanks this. -
