The pay was decent, but the hours were crazy long and the work was super physically demanding
They're the real MVP!
Tried other transportation companies before, but none of them come close to this
OMG, Bulk Transit is literally the best thing since sliced bread! I've been working with them for years, and they've never let me down
I’ve been driving here for over a month now, after leaving a well-paying LTL mega carrier that treated drivers poorly. While I took a small pay cut, it was absolutely worth it. My terminal manager and dispatcher go above and beyond to get me the best-paying loads with optimal home time, even as a new driver. My colleagues are incredibly supportive, always willing to help if I run into challenges. The corporate team is fantastic—unlike my previous employer, I’ve actually met everyone from the president to the safety manager.
Having driven for Bulk Transit for over two years, I can confidently say I wish I'd started my career here. This is hands down the best trucking company to work for. They prioritize their drivers’ needs, offering flexible schedules—whether you want to be home nightly, weekly, or drive for extended periods. They match industry pay standards, if not better, and even cover deadhead miles. Management is consistently friendly and helpful, payroll has been flawless, and my terminal manager works hard to provide the loads and time off I request. Even the owners remember your name and treat you like a valued asset rather than just a number. If someone complains about this company, they likely haven’t experienced a truly difficult trucking job. Bulk Transit is everything I hoped to find, and I’ll be here until the day they pry the steering wheel from my hands.
After 3.5 years here, I can say it’s a great company to work for. Feeling extra lucky today—I just got a brand-new truck. Thanks, Bulk Transit!
An excellent workplace! If you're looking for a great driving job, Bulk Transit is the place to be.
To whom it may concern. I need you to fix where you reported I had an accident on 11/20/20.. I had no accident or citation. It's not my fault the unit I was assigned to caught on fire. YOU REPORTED IT AS AN ACCIDENT!!! Now, I'm having insurance issues hitting me as if I was in a collision. Please fix this.
Good people! Great organization!
Not very happy with this company, a lot of downfalls
Great place to work...fair pay and honest people
Prompt service when called. Friendly personnel. Competitive pricing.
I am employed by Bulk Transit, Good company.
I worked for Bulk for over a year then left to try something else. When that didn't work out they hired me back. I then stayed for 2 more years, had 3 total. They were more than willing to work with you on time off when needed. I liked the opportunity to take over night runs if I wanted or to run a day run. It was my choice. Great people and being a family owed business they understand when issues with your family come up. The equipment is kept serviced and they have new trucks and trailers coming in. I would go back there to work if I ever went back to driving.
Great company to work for. Makes you feel like family!
I’ve been working at bulk transit for around 10 years! We have newer trucks, mostly peterbilts and freightliners. Owners and management are always open and helpful! Bulk transit is a family owned company and they reflect it to their employees. We also have one of the best Saftey advisors around! Home time is great!
It’s a great place to work!
There’s definitely money to be made if you're willing to put in the work. Keep the left door closed and run! The safety director is frustrating—you’ll always be found guilty regardless of evidence. Payroll had its challenges in the past, but my last six months were issue-free. I initially worked at one terminal, but transferring to another made a huge difference; otherwise, I may have left sooner. The Evansville terminal manager genuinely cares about work-life balance, ensuring drivers make good money without burning out.
Bulk Transit has potential, but competitive pay and better driver engagement would make a big difference. Poor fleet management and dispatch inefficiency make the work unnecessarily frustrating.
Pay structures vary—sometimes by load, sometimes by mileage, sometimes both, and occasionally hourly. Hourly drivers earn $25 per hour for driving and unloading, but there’s no overtime or weekend pay. A 60-hour week equals roughly $1,500, but new drivers usually make around $1,200 after 50 hours. High-paying loads go to senior drivers, and it takes years to earn a worthwhile paycheck. Load-based pay increases slightly over time: - 1 year: 24% per load - 5 years: 25% per load - 10 years: 25.5% per load Dayton Freight pays $29 per hour with overtime—something to consider.
Training was reasonable, but management is a joke. Favoritism is rampant, and complaints about me were never communicated properly. Frustrating experience overall.
Seniority dominates here—the newer drivers get lower-paying work while the more tenured ones receive the better runs.
I enjoyed working here, but the pay wasn’t enough, and family insurance costs are high. On the plus side, taking your truck home daily is convenient, eliminating the need for a personal vehicle commute.
Great home time and one of the best bosses I’ve had. I’ve received almost everything I asked for from the company. Some equipment is old—older than me, and I’m 37—but they are gradually upgrading trailers. The trucks aren’t necessarily outdated, but some lack inverters.
Worst job I’ve had. To earn a decent income, you must work over 12 hours a day, six days a week, and top-paying loads go to senior drivers and favorites.
They were okay, but their former dispatcher had issues with many drivers, making things difficult. He also failed to communicate properly with the corporate office.
They promise anything to get you in a truck. Loads are assigned by seniority, so don’t expect to make the advertised $50,000. Not family-friendly.
I wouldn’t recommend this company at all—dirty, rundown environment, old 1970s trailers, poorly maintained equipment, and a highly toxic workplace.
Too much work for too little pay—18 to 20-hour shifts, outdated equipment, fuel restrictions, and no benefits starting out. Senior drivers pick the high-paying routes first.
My biggest complaint is the lack of equipment maintenance and overall poor support. Money isn’t reinvested properly, leaving staff overworked with minimal resources.
This was a fantastic place to work! Management was understanding, supportive, and genuinely made me feel valued. They kept every promise they made and went above expectations. Highly recommended.
The terminal manager and drivers were wonderful—friendly, informative, and easygoing. He’s truly invaluable! Corporate staff was great too. Unfortunately, equipment and pay are serious concerns. The trucks are small with outdated sleeper cabs. My trailer, built in 1978, had rusted suspension supports and wasn’t DOT-compliant, despite mechanics saying otherwise. Electrical and air brake failures were frequent. Pay seems decent at first, but Bulk Transit underbids jobs so drivers ultimately earn lower wages. Some weeks, I had no work due to a lack of available runs, and there’s no guaranteed pay in these cases. If you don’t mind dealing with excessive cement dust daily and dirty equipment, this place may work for you. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
Load pay needs to be improved, better benefits offered, and 401(k) contributions made weekly instead of annually. Safety bonuses should be paid upon departure rather than withheld. The company canceled my direct deposit after I gave a two-week notice, making my final paychecks a hassle to retrieve. Beware of this issue.
Hard work with frequently broken equipment. Great people, and money can be made. However, safety practices are concerning. They push drivers into unsafe conditions, and if you’re injured, they won’t accommodate restrictions.
Bulk Transit is a decent workplace overall. The mechanics and terminal manager are great, as is the safety team. However, pay remains an issue—it’s not the terminal’s fault, but upper management’s.
This isn’t a great place to work. Pay discrepancies are frequent, and there’s little transparency about driver rates. Payroll errors are common.
