I’ve been here over a month so far, I came from an LTL mega carrier that had great pay, but treated drivers poorly. I had to take a pay cut to come here, but it was well worth the small pay cut I made. My terminal manager and my dispatcher always try to give me the best paying best home time loads they can get me for being a new guy. My coworkers are astounding people that are always willing to help me if I can’t figure something out. The people that work in the corporate office are fantastic, and unlike the mega carrier I worked for I got to meet them all. The president, the hr manager, the maintenance shop manager, the safety manager, and my recruiter.
I've been driving for Bulk Transit for over two years, and I wish I'd found them at the beginning of my career. There's absolutely no better company to drive for. They put the wants, needs, and desires of their drivers first and foremost. If you want to drive and be home every night, or be home once a week, or drive for a few weeks on end, they have all these possibilities available. They work with you to give you what YOU want. they pay as well as any other trucking company, if not better oh, and they paid for deadhead miles as well. Management has always been helpful and friendly, payroll has NEVER ONCE messed up my paycheck, and my terminal manager/dispatcher does everything he can to give me the loads I want while also letting me have the time off I want. Even the owners remember your face and know you by name. Here, you are more than just a number - you are treated as an asset. Anyone who has any problem whatsoever driving for Bulk Transit has obviously never had a real truck driving job. This is the trucking job I always hoped to find, and I will stop driving for this company when they pry the steering wheel out of my dead hands.
Been driving for them for 3 and half years, good company to work for, feeling a little special today. I got a brand new truck... thanks Bulk Transit..
Great place to work. If your 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!
Money can definitely be made, if you’re willing to work for it. Keep the left door closed and run!! The safety director is a joke, you will ALWAYS be guilty even if you can prove your innocence. They did have some issues in the payroll department, I don’t know what changed in all actuality but my last 6 months I had no discrepancies in my pay as I had multiple times the prior 18 months. I started off at one terminal, and had I not transferred to another terminal I’d probably have quit much sooner. The terminal manager in Evansville will always look out for you. He wants to make sure you have a good work/life balance. If your making money, the terminal is making money. In no way though will he let you get burnt out, he’ll work to give you the balance you want and need.
The company wouldn’t be bad if the pay was competitive and they listened to their drivers. Fleet manager/dispatch ruins any hope for longevity. Inefficiency and incompetency runs the daily operations. Makes it almost unbearable.
Every route pays differently. Sometimes by the load. Sometimes by the mile. Sometimes both. Sometimes hourly. Hourly?: $25 an hour for driving, unloading, etc. Less than many dry van, no-touch shuttle jobs. No overtime pay. No weekend pay. 60 hours a week will come out to $1,500.00 if you're hourly with no pay per load. Again, there are dry van shuttle jobs paying more for just 45 hours a week, 5 days a week. Most new drivers here will make closer to $1,200 a week after 50 hours. All of the good paying loads go to those more favored or with more seniority. You'll have to stick it out for many years before receiving a paycheck worth your time. For loads that pay: 1 year - 24% per load 5 years - 25% per load 10 years - 25.5% per load Go run for Dayton Freight or someone of that nature. They pay $29 an hour with overtime.
Training was not bad at all but management is a big joke, they will only keep the ones they like.. There was always a complaint about me but was never told what the complaint was, it’s all a joke
It is a seniority work environment, the new guys get junk for work and junk for pay. Only the people that have been there a long time get the runs that pay good
Really enjoyed working there just not a nuff money and the insurance for a family is high. It makes it really nice that you get to take your truck home every day so you don’t have to drive your own car.
Great home time,1 of the best bosses ive ever had. Great place to get xp in the game. Ive gotten almost everything ive asked for out of this company. That being said,some of the equipment is older than me,im 37, but their adding new trailers. The trucks arent old necessarily,of course,some are older than others. But none have inverters.
Worst job I ever had to make any money you had to work over 12 hours a day 6 days a week you didn’t get good loads those went to seniority and favorites
They where ok but there old dispatcher Did not like a lot of people so he made it hard on them and he didn’t communicate with the main office about what is going on with there employees
They tell you whatever they can to get you in the truck. Loads go by seniority so dont plan on making 50,000 like they advertise. definitely not family friendly
I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy, trashy dirty environment, old 1970 trailers, dont upkeep equipment, Very hostile work environment.
Not enough pay to much work 18 to 20 hour work days old equipment must fuel up at terminal no benefits when you start your at the bottom so all the other driver choose all the money routes
Only gripe I have is that they were not taking care of the equipment and had very poor support, money was not put back into equipment, staff overworked and minimal.
This was an excellent place to work. The management was understanding of everything, and they did everything to both help you out and make you feel wanted & needed. They came through with every promise they made, and then some. I recommend this company to anyone and everyone.
First off, the fellow drivers and Terminal Manager were great! Friendly, informative and always easy going. The Terminal Manager is worth his weight in gold! Great guy! Corporate office was full of nice people as well. Here's the down sides and parts that truly matter. Equipment and pay. The trucks are old with very small sleeper cabs. Most of their trucks, you cant even stand up in. Also, the trailer I was given was made in 1978 and had suspension supports completely rusted through. It was NOT DOT compliant even though mechanics told me it was. Every other day, I had electrical light issues on the trailer as well as air brake issues and general air pressure leak issues. The pay, at first sounds great being percentage, but Bulk undergirds everyone massively to get work for the drivers meaning less pay for the drivers. Drivers get 24% of load, again sounds great til you realize they underbid so muh that you are only averaging 10-12$ an hour. In the couple weeks I was there, I didnt have work and missed days because their was no available runs. There is no guaranteed pay for these situations, making it very inconsistent work days. I would not recommend this company at all unless you enjoy sneezing cement dust every day when you get home. It also, the equipment is very dirty in and out. Even the truck I took my test drive at corporate was caked on inside with gunk and hadn't been wiped down in a very long time. The safety manager just flagged it off and said, "well, that trucking"... no , it isnt. Smh when I went to adjust the power mirrors in that truck, I found they wouldn't work at all. He then said "hey, just be glad it starts LOL" wow, great place to be! Huh!
Load pay needs to be increased Better benifits are needed. 401k company contributions need to be weekly not yearly. They need to pay you your safety bonus when you leave not cheat you out of something you earned! It was $130 dollars!!! Cheap!! I earned it from the previous months work! Overall not a bad place to work but the driver comes second. Heads up!!! They cancel direct deposit when you give your two week notice. So it is better to just quit without notice. Getting your last two pay checks is a joke! Get ready to make it an easter egg hunt to get your two final checks! Still not received all that they owe me and I had bills tied to that check so guess what happened!! At least someone should have told me but no Friday I looked at my back account and no deposit just debits. Not cool !!!
Hard work with equipment that needs repaired most of the time. Good people and you can make money here. Safety concerns as they will push and pressure you to perform unsafe and illegal acts and if you get hurt they will write you off if you cant work without restrictions.
All in all Bulk Transit is a decent place to work. The people are great especially the mechanics and terminal manager, safety was cool as well. It's basically the pay for the driver's. Which is not on the terminal manager he does the best he can in giving the loads so all make money, it's upper management.
Bulk transit is not a good place to work pay is not right dad gave the kids the company need I say more .will not show the driver the rates drivers are paid on 24 Percent.of load payroll is always scewed up.
Have good equipment. You work at your own pace. Most the customers were friendly. Pay is good and time off paid was good. The dispatcher in Piketon oh could have been a little more fiar about things
not what I thought would be a future. the work itself was not bad. The hours where so rocky. You couldn't plan anything until Sunday. early start never knew if you would make 900-1200 aIweek. if you're not worrfied about your pay good job.
