CANAL TRANSPORTATION LLC

The best company, hands down, that I have ever worked for. They genuinely care about their employees and treat us like family.

I've worked in the intermodal industry for over 15 yrs and from my experience in working for this organization is that they truly take care of their employees and owner operators like none other.

I cooperated with them for container drayage in Houston Area during my last job. Top notch team. We moved many drop and pick containers to the port with their help and it was a highly satisfying experience.

Great company to lease on to. Unfortunately they canceled my contract. My fault. Maybe I can go back next year.

One of The best company to work for….

Good place to work but the safety Sandra, really bad person.

Awesome place to work.

Great business

800 a week

Canal is a company that is at the forefront of technology. The attention to the drivers is one of the best. The work of the collective is the most coordinated I have ever seen, among so many companies Canal is ahead in organization, the errors are negligible, it can be said that there are no problems that make you waste your time. It has acquired the PIN system for the entrance to the port, which other companies have not considered canal arranges it. The trucks are checked from time to time and a qualified inspector will tell you if your truck has a problem that you were not aware of. Security is excellent. The company handles its loads mainly with its own chassis, which it maintains in good condition. It has security cameras throughout the parking lot. The only point that can be made is the paving of the parking lot, but even so, the good things outweigh that bad part. Nobody is perfect. The management handles everything very well and that makes the staff feel good. Payments are done well, without error as everyone strives to do their job with quality.

Quiet place, good work environment

Excellent attention

Company has extensive driver program very beneficial to owner operators. Awesome hire on package and more.

great company to work...dispatchers r the best direct deposit....and a lot other good things

The pay is decent, but there’s no consistent work to ensure a sustainable income. If they secured more business, the company would improve. I often spent hours at the yard waiting for a load.

Canal is a smaller company that goes the extra mile for its employees and drivers, providing benefits that you wouldn’t typically find at larger firms. While the intermodal business can be challenging, your efforts are acknowledged by management and eventually rewarded. They have notable incentive programs and allow remote work for eligible positions. Their maintenance team is excellent, ensuring Canal drivers aren't left waiting long for equipment repairs. The office is newly renovated and equipped with amenities to enhance the workday experience. Management is receptive to ideas for improving the company. Drivers receive weekly pay via direct deposit. The company operates paperlessly, with dispatches managed through company-provided tablets. Additionally, there are multiple local dispatchers to prevent personality conflicts from affecting your earnings.

They offer the lowest rates in the container industry. Without favoritism from dispatchers, it’s extremely difficult to earn. Insurance costs $177 weekly, much higher than average. Payments are delayed as they hold back two weeks’ worth of pay. I also encountered unpaid trips while working local routes. They continuously lower rates despite rising freight costs. Overall, it’s a terrible company—best to steer clear.
