Apex Bulk Commodities FMCSA Safety & Jobs

it's a decent gig. The pay's not bad, and the routes are pretty standard

They take it seriously, and it shows in the way they operate

Absolutely never had any concerns with their equipment or their drivers

By using independent contractors, they're able to offer a level of flexibility that nobody can match

Apex Logistics has a lot of very friendly very professional very helpful people... All but the supervisor in the AR Department, Tiffany. She was very catty, impatient and unprofessional and she certainly must have only gotten the promotion to AR supervisor because the vacancy had to be filled quickly. All the other ladies in the AR office were very nice and pleasant to work with. (And other ladies that work there that weren't in the AR Department like Sharon were very very nice and brought a pleasant Aura to the work environment.)

LOOKS LIKE THE BEST START FOR MY CAREER, AND EXPERIENCE. I FOUND THE GATE WAY FOR THE CHANCE TO BE COME A PROFESSIONAL "OWNER OPERATOR " THANK YOU APEX FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

Nice place. Went for a job ad and didn't get a call back. Their loss. The lady I met was nice

Worst place I've ever worked for

They don’t paid to their carriers

Very happy to work for them

Great place awsome company thanks for the recommendation juan moreno

Apex was treating H & N drivers like step children.

Seems like a good place to work.!!!

Not a fan of this company, many better options out there

Very respectful place of employment .

Terrible place to work. Head dispatcher, a female, very disrespectful. A lot of driver's do not report maintenence issues so the next driver gets stuck with the problem. No wonder, management doesn't care so why should the drivers. Head of management very immature, he makes farting noises around the women and expects you to laugh at his immaturity. New drivers beware, Apex has different pressurized trailers, they will send you out with a type you have never worked. So, if you go out to the consignee and you have problems, their attitude, it's part of the job you deal with it. They call you while you are at home sleeping to see if your coming in. Terrible place to work.

These People at Apex absolutely Have NO consideration for the Traffic laws on the Highway These Trucks have Been in EVERY lanes , South Bound and North Bound, Every Day for at least 5-6 Months!!!

I have worked for these folks for 5 years. They have taken excellent care of me and gone out of there way even when they did not have to. I would recommend them to any good solid drivers, especially when switching from otr to local.

Do they Hire female Drivers just starting out with doubles , I've driven tractor trailer for 2 years now but wanted a local job??

Great company to work for.

The company is relatively small but has a long-standing presence. The workday can sometimes feel slow while waiting to offload at customers, but overall, it's not a difficult job.

This job is useful for gaining experience, though home-daily schedules can mean extended workdays. Depending on your situation, it may or may not be worth it. There are many smaller companies offering better pay and work environments.

Overworked, underpaid, and undervalued. Expect heavy workloads with little appreciation. Dispatch micromanages, making it tough to secure time off. Calls during personal hours are common.

What is the best part of working at the company? A decent place to work. Pay isn't the best, but hours are plentiful. You'll likely work 12-15 hours a day, five days a week. Daily home time gives you just enough time to shower, sleep, and repeat. Weekends off help catch up on rest and personal tasks. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Long hours are standard, but work itself isn't particularly stressful—it’s just monotonous. The upside? Hourly pay. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Professional atmosphere where employees focus on keeping things running. No major negatives about the staff—good people overall. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Your Monday start time sets the pace for the rest of the week, gradually shifting later each day. By Friday, you may start midday, depending on your Monday schedule.

What is the best part of working at the company? The simplicity of the job—it’s easy. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Communicating with dispatch through the onboard tablet. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? It depends on your attitude day-to-day. Office staff and the terminal manager are pleasant, but the manager won’t strongly advocate for employees.

Clock in—if trucks are available, complete a pre-trip inspection. Check in with dispatch for loads. ELD systems can be unreliable depending on the truck. Some drivers dislike the front-and-rear-facing cameras. Long hours are common, but I don’t mind. Some tractors need repairs, and workplace culture could improve—some describe it as occasionally toxic. A few employees slack off in the yard. Overall, the sense of accomplishment is low.

What is the best part of working at the company? The owner and his wife attend driver events to personally meet and greet employees. Unlike large company owners who remain distant, they engage with staff and listen to feedback. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Favoritism from dispatch and supervisors. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Relaxed atmosphere with a diverse workforce. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Complete a pre-trip check, pick up loads, and repeat.

A solid company, but they take advantage of drivers due to their stronghold on bulk commodities. Employees work 70-hour weeks because few other opportunities offer similar earnings. While pay is decent, it falls below industry standards. Advancement is possible, but raises are nonexistent, and there are no paid holidays.

I’ve worked at Apex for two years—one as a company driver and one as an owner-operator. Hardworking and respectful employees receive fair treatment from management and dispatch. The biggest challenge in this role is handling weather conditions while offloading.

When I joined Apex, they were short-staffed and couldn’t provide a road trainer. Despite this, I received substantial support and multiple contacts for assistance. The delivery tasks were new to me, but the team’s guidance helped me learn quickly. I even excelled enough to help others. The experience was positive, though those outside client services lacked key details about accounts they were handling.

This job works for me—I have no complaints as I enter my third year. More paid holidays would be nice, but overall, it’s a good workplace. The hours can be long, but at least it’s hourly.

It was fine until micromanagement became an issue. I’ve been here 12 years and still feel like just a number. Seniority holds little weight. I’ve submitted applications elsewhere and am waiting on a call.

I spent 11 months here—poor equipment, no respect, grueling 70-hour weeks. Driver-facing cameras lead to strict DAC reporting for even minor incidents. They will use you and then let you go. The workplace is incredibly stressful, and safety is handled poorly. PTO isn’t paid when taken, and safety bonuses seem designed to be withheld. Surveillance is constant. During COVID, they knowingly exposed drivers to confirmed cases in the office without informing us. Not a company I would recommend.

Pros: Flexible time off, a variety of route options. Cons: Dusty, loud conditions. Often one hour outside the truck in various weather conditions.

What is the best part of working at the company? A reliable company with ample hours, though the pay isn’t the best. Expect long 12-15 hour days, five days a week. Home time allows for basic self-care before repeating the cycle. Weekends are your chance to recover and catch up on life. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Long hours, though the work itself is dull rather than stressful. Fortunately, it’s hourly. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? A professional setting where everyone does their job efficiently. Employees are generally good people. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Your Monday schedule determines your start time for the rest of the week. If you start early Monday, your start times shift progressively later each day, leading to midday shifts by Friday.

Low pay, unpleasant colleagues, and management frequently asks irrelevant questions. Most days are tolerable, but bad weather makes everything more difficult.

Bulk trailers are assembled from salvaged parts, leading to inconsistent quality. Many trailers still have spring suspension instead of air, making for rough rides. Dispatch prioritizes getting loads out over safety, leaving drivers accountable for everything.
