Why do you like the company you drive for?

I like my company for several reasons. I'm off weekends, home every day, and only work 45 hours per week. I deliver auto-parts, and It's not very hard work. The truck I drive is only 3 years old, and they take care of issues pretty fast.

I get 3 weeks of paid vacation, 7 holidays, and make about $65,000 per year. I'm going on 6 years, and am gonna continue as long as they let me keep working for them.

 

I like where I work because I make 46¢ per mile, and usually get around 2500 miles a week, all while being home every weekend for 48-60+ hours, and I can usually take my 10 at home once or twice during the week. I get along well with my dispatcher and most of the office personnel. I drive a late model, well maintained truck that’s nicely furnished with company provided XM radio, fridge, 1500W inverter, Bose seat, and DirecTV. All of our trailers are newer and in great shape, I am usually hooked up to a 2016 or newer trailer. We also do about 70% drop and hook which really helps keep the wheels turning.

 

nobody bothers me, boss number one is in Ohio, boss number 2 is in CT and only visits us when he needs to have some sort of company meeting onsite.

we work nights, have assigned trucks/trailers, that are as well cared for as possible thru the leasing company we have, if they cannot fix it ASAP, we get another truck, free of charge. we do not have to do any repairs, we are told NO MATTER WHAT, call for road service, or when back at the customers warehouse, drive by Penske. we cannot even change a light bulb, although i have especially a headlight as there are no highway lights on my route.


i prefer also not to mention the company name, but they specialize in dedicated work.

 

The compensation and benefits are excellent , work is easy and the unpaid labor is nil.
Home 4 of 5 nights a wk.

It's Shorter than the list of things I don't enjoy but at the end of the week, the money is the deciding factor for me.
Our average wage is 90k+

 

work atmosphere
money
benefits
home daily no weekends
paid holidays, vac, sick time etc

all around great place to work. mgmnt is awesome and the company is personable. everywhere i go i am remembered by name. even if it has been months since my last visit.

 

Lots of positive comments!

 

$24.00 an hour, time and a half after 40, never more than an hour from the plant, all newer equipment, home every night, no weekends, a company that actually listens when I have a problem, or concern, decent benefits, a laid back boss, who tells me what needs to be done, and then lets me do it.

 

Willl any of this change with the merger?

 

May is low, low, low
