Houff Transfer

Best company to drive for! they give you the support you need to keep running, and treat you like family while doing it! -six year company driver/owner operator

They definitely know how to dispatch! You won't be sitting around waiting for a load. The people here are really nice and the equipment is no frills but very well maintained. Parking is not an issue because they have terminals (with really nice showers) and drop lots. No waiting in line at the truckstop for fuel, there is fuel at the terminals. Better than most pay and benefits. 48 hours (not necessarily two days) hometime weekly.

My time working for this company was not a pleasent one. During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic they refused to disinfect their trucks before placing another driver in the seat. My truck broke down constantly and when it was fixed they gave it to another driver to drive with all my stuff in it. When I got it back finally it broke down again. 14 -16 hrs every day. You will live for houff and it's not worth it at all.They will try to bad mouth drivers who have worked there...terrible!!!!

My husband works there. Great business to work for.

Stay away from this company!!!! They leave you hanging out to long . And management, dispatching is bad to work with. I do not recommend this company. They seem to be hostel .

Work is pretty much stable but you work a lot of long days. Only work Monday through Friday and off on weekends! They have 401k and profit sharing with a company matching!

Work-life balance Work-life balance at HOUFF TRANSFER, INC is non existent. 14-16 hr days. All that matters is the freight... Pay & benefits My pay and benefits at HOUFF TRANSFER, INC were pretty good. Job security and advancement In terms of job security at HOUFF TRANSFER, INC, I think is almost non existent if you are not in total agreement with everything they do. Overall My experience working at HOUFF TRANSFER, INC was very different . They will take your assigned truck, when it comes out of the shop ,and give it to another driver to drive with no hesitation during this time of Covid.

Pay could be better and there is not consistent work on most days..but they do have great people who manage and work there it’s just you can not live off of it

Dispatch plan ready, pretrip. Routes are ready. Delivery or loads are organized and ready. Management communicates with drivers. Very culture oriented.

What is the best part of working at the company? No pros to working this job very long hours and small pay. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Very long hours you get minimum wage for on duty time. What is a typical day like for you at the company? A typical day includes long hours, a lot of live loads and unloads you sit for hours with low pay then they make you drive long hours after you waste you day sitting. Don’t expect them to understand you family life it’s all about their freight.

Great Company to work for. Had a very good time and a very good run with Houff. If the pay was a little bit more and dispatch was managed better I’d probably go back.

The days tended to be long and the hourly pay was good but it felt like management could play favorites at times. Sometimes I felt like I was walking on eggshells when one of the "important people" from The Cave happened to be there. I was told on more than one occasion that they took notice if you were more than a few minutes late to clock in. It was their way or the highway, period. The best parts of it were after I had been an OTR driver for years going to work there finally gave me the opportunity to work local and still make a living for myself and my family and I knew I would have every weekend off at home. The hardest parts of it were that I had to get out of bed every morning at 5:00 a.m. to be there by 7:00 (it was over an hour's drive to work). If the day was particularly long and I had to make the long drive home it made for very little sleep. Sometimes I felt like I got more sleep when I was on the road before I went local. Sometimes I had long waits at shippers but after a while I realized that it didn't matter because I was getting paid by the hour. It took me a while to get out of the mindset that I wasn't making any money by sitting around waiting because I had been over-the-road for so long. Among the worst things was feeling compelled to cross picket lines at places that were on strike as it was subtly made known that it was a "do it or else" situation and it made me very uncomfortable and I never felt secure in my job. The bottom line? It's been years since I been worked there and I'm retired now but I think that if I had the opportunity to go back I most likely wouldn't. Too much stress for my taste. If any of the big shots were to happen to read this I figure they'll know who I am but I have long since stopped caring. The only reason I even visited this site today is that out of the blue I happened to dream about the place last night. Otherwise I haven't even thought about the "Huffy" in years and years. I wouldn't mind seeing of my "fellow locals" again but that was all a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Work-life balance Work-life balance at HOUFF TRANSFER, INC is not really good you get home long enough to eat and sleep during week. the hours are ridiculous. Start times change everyday so no routine for sleeping. Pay & benefits My pay and benefits at HOUFF TRANSFER, INC Below average 60-80 hours a week $13.75 when you figure the hours. Job security and advancement In terms of job security at HOUFF TRANSFER, INC, I think Don't know but, they have a lot of drivers been there for 20 + years Management In general, managers at HOUFF TRANSFER, INC Everyone was pleasant in management, dispatch not so much no consept of time or the driver. More training needed. They need more info for new drivers about the shippers they haul for to help save new drivers some time. Overall My experience working at HOUFF TRANSFER, INC Was there for 3 weeks and the trucks are old. and I broke down 2 times. One of the break downs I sit in the truck for 5.5 hours and ended up in a hotel overnight 2:00 hrs from home and terminal. They have the ability to be a great company but lack equiping the new driver with the details of their shippers so the driver can do his job effectively. Lot of wasted time waiting on info as well as once you get assignments.

Will tarnish your character. Trust 3rd party word over there on drivers. Know your drivers and defend them over enraged motorists. Guess Covid 19 was a reason to get rid of personnel. Right to work state benefit companies not the hard working people making them millions.

good staff and energetic co-workers. nice trucks. the loads were easy to secure. friendly customers. nice health benifits. Houff is a very productive company to work with.

Be ready to lose .05 cpm for the whole week if you take off I day in that week to go to dr. Sick or whatever. Don’t want you to have an opinion it’s Houff way or no way

Owners are a punch of snoops they walk right by you and not speak to you half the time you have no security of your job whatsoever they just as soon walk in and fire you for nothing as to look at you Zane Houff is nothing but a joke

They will run you, Dont make any plans cause you will not be able to. They do not pay overtime if you are hourly driver. High deductible medical insurance

Working for Houff was a great experience, as a company they offer a great benefits and a great pay. In addition to just a job they treat you like family.

Very good company to work for.Long hours,Benefits okay,Not much home time.Older equipment,wish the management would up the speeds on their trucks.Hope they would let drivers go to different customers
