I learned the kind of company to avoid and this is definitely one of them. You'll sit For at Least twenty four hours Waiting for a load unless you're going to laredo. In laredo you will Sit For atleast 2 days While watching other solo drivers arrive after you and get to leave before you.Because dispatch looks out for certain drivers an not others. Dispatch will lie to you to get you to do what they want, no matter how much it screws you. I worked here for 3 years and regret the last year in a half. I learned that I never want to be a company driver again. Would give negative stars if I could.
Mike the owner is a great guy. Always see these trucks rolling all oveth highways.. keep busy and safe guys. From a guy who powerwashes your trucks.
I have been a dispatcher in the trucking industry for over 25yrs. Coming to work for Matrix was the best decision I ever made for my career. It is rewarding to work with the drivers that are new just coming out of our driving school. The staff is always available to answer any questions and help them develop their driving skills. I look forward to checking in with our experienced drivers also to see how their day was going for them as well. You won't be disappointed if you come to work at Matrix.
I’ve only been driving for Matrix since November. It is my first driving job. I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much. I team drive with my husband, who has been driving for Matrix for three years. Even before I began working for Matrix I appreciated the fact that my husband was always able to get time off when he needed it. We have daughters in the military and aren’t always given much notice when one is able to be home, Matrix is wonderful about letting us be home when we need to be. Matrix truly has a family atmosphere and lets you put family first.
Awesome people great! I think I am going to add on to this. It has been a while and My husband Richard Schatz has been driving with this company now. The company is awesome to work for. He Loves these people. He gets along with them all. They make him feel just as important as they are. He says they know him by name not by a number! They will work with you when you need it. All in all Matrix Expedited Services is a Great Company to work for. They are a Reputable Company that we stand behind and in my Book That Says a lot!!!!
Matrix is a great place to work. With as many times as I've had family emergencies at home, I should've been fired. Matrix treats you as family and you are more than a number. I wish I could give a 4.5 star review. No company is perfect but this one comes close. The pay is at the lower end of the payscale for jobs like this BUT they definitely make it up in caring about you
Just started 2 weeks ago and although there are some hiccups (like any company) this is a great place to work for. I look forward to a long career here. Edit on 8/5: I'm moving on. This was a great job when James was in charge. ed is a sweetheart but right around the time he moved up, things slowed way way down. Moving on the FedEx. I still recommend this job to new people to get their foot in the door. They really worked with me when my husband got hurt and my mom died. I will miss a few people here. I loved my job but I need a decent paycheck
Matrix always provides stellar communication and customer service. Outstanding North American coverage for any size truck. If you are looking for a consistent transportation partner, then look no further.
They undercut their competitors by short-changing their drivers. They even have clauses in their handbook to circumvent state laws. An example would be that as a driver, Matrix WILL FORFEIT ALL of your earned but unused vacation time if you put in a 2 weeks notice. (State law requires employees' accrued vacation to be paid out upon seperation...but Matrix had their slick corporate lawyer draft a legal loophole to get around that law) Their "open door policy" is there, but expect serious retaliation if you suggest that their pay rate is too low. Also, they want you to listen to their side of the story, but will LITERALLY WALK AWAY from you when you attempt to explain your view point. The owners obviously don't care about their reputation. They would rather literally spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to combat high turnover instead of just treating their workers right. Check out the video "United Breaks Guitars" on YouTube for an example of how Matrix treats people.
All around good. -Mechanics are top notch -They will never send you out with non-compliment equipment -Very nice/new fleet -Good ownership/management -Dispatchers are 11/10 -easy going and stress free place to work -experienced and talented teacher at their CDL school -Dispatch is available 24/7 Over all this is a classy operation with little to no downside. I’ve been treated as family since day 1. Would recommend to anyone.
I WORKED FOR MATRIX FOR SHORT PERIOD AND THE COMPANY IS OK IF YOU LIKE SET AND WAIT ALL THE TIME.BUT NOT ALL DRIVER LIKE WAITING 10 OR 12 HRS FOR A LOAD THEN THEY GIVE U THOSE 100 OR 200 MILES RUN AFTER SETTING ALL DAY. THEN U GOT AUTOMOTIVE STRIKE THAT EVEN WORSE THAT THEY DO NOT WORK WITH GENERAL FREIGHT NATIONWIDE. SO I GAVE MY 2 WEEKS NOTICE AND WAS FIRED FOR GIVING MY NOTICE. BUT I DIDN'T KNEW THIS WAS COMING. I GUESS THAT THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS.
2 weeks in a row they got my payment wrong to the tune of 472.00 roughly and around 384.00. They talk like they have a lot of freight but you end up sitting a lot. Don't work for them. They are a joke.
Been driving at Matrix for over 4 years. The owners, dispatch and other office personnel that I've dealt with are definitely all TOP NOTCH! They have a true open door policy and really make you feel like part of the family. They just increased wages for all new and current drivers!! Companies like Matrix that value their employees are hard to find. I'm grateful to be driving for them and appreciate all the good they do for the community.
Matrix is a great company to work for! We just received another pay increase and we are so grateful! My husband and I have been driving for 12 years and came to Matrix 3 years ago. We wanted more $, more home time and less time waiting on loads. Matrix said they could meet all our needs and they have delivered %100. On top of all that they are great people to work for! The whole team is amazing! We are feeling blessed! Come and join the winning team! You won’t be disappointed
Amazing group of people! They treat you with respect and your not a number! Great mechanics work hard to keep trucks running top notch! Dispatch works hard to keep you busy! Can’t say enough about them!! Management actually listens when you have a concern and they make time for you when you ask to speak to them!
Their classifies ad looks legit and promising...but when you hire in it is a different reality. When you ask your boss for what was promised in the classified ad they will say "Oh that was just a typo". Then when you try to discuss it with the owner(s) they get aggressive with you. They will attempt to turn it around to make you look like the bad guy. If you think it can't really be that bad, then hire in and find out.
I've worked there for a little bit over 4 months they are a great company to work for they treat you like family they treat you with respect and dignity very accommodating to a person's unique needs, they have excellent equipment that is meticulously maintained, also great pay and benefits. It has been a privilege being a part of matrix.
Good management. Good culture. The is a transition company. Not a long term company. The perks end after your 1 year. And raises are rare. Vacation pay is a base pay no matter how much you make, you may take a vacation for a quarter of you weekly pay like I did.
People there were encouraging and always willing to help you when they can. Especially to New CDL Drivers. If there was ever any trouble. They would send out help immediately. They're always keeping you busy.
What is the best part of working at the company? They are very accommodating they treat you with respect no matter what their equipment is meticulously maintained. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Working for the company was not stressful, the trucking industry in general can be stressful waiting at dokcs being away from home etc. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Very good work environment when I was working there I was treated with the utmost respect. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Typical day I would say was good and smooth.
Even if you give it your all they do not care. They try to say they are a family company and care about you, but when an emergency comes up they kick you to the curb. They try to overload you and make the drivers pick up multiple loads and you have to do individual paperwork for each and then get rushed to get the 1st load you picked up to its destination. They do not explain how much paperwork you have to do when on the road. Way more then they lead on in orientation. Do not work here.
What is the best part of working at the company? They will do what ever they can to help you out. Weather you are out on the road delivering a load or need to be home for personal thing that you have to take care or. It's like your part of the business not just a driver to make them money. They try to make your job as easy as they can.🙂 What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Traffic in certain cities gets to be to much and when you have to wait for a while to get loaded or unloaded cause they told dispatch that the load was there and get there to find out it's not there yet. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Friendly and like your important to the company. Owners always asking how you are doing. An help you where they can
Owners are not the kind of guys you should give any long time of work for. No, respect for anyone outside the office. They will work you until you quit if how they treat people from my point of view.
Pay is lowest in local area :-( super great for starter company to gain great experience. Equipment it top notch and so is the staff and management. No forced dispatch which is great too. Very glad I started at Matrix!!
Had to train for 2-3 weeks, excellent, thorough training to utilize QUALCOMM, for charting freight information, & driving! Enjoyed going local & OTR! Everyone is friendly, supportive, & answered any questions that I had! The best job!
I did not like working in that racist place in the United States. If you are anything like that company then do me a favor do not give me a job and don,t call me
Low pay. They constantly interrupt your sleep with the 2-way asking questions that can wait until you're out of the sleeper birth. Oh yeah, did I mention LOW PAY?
I am absolutely loving working for Matrix. Great staff--I cant thank them enough every day. Great Team environment and very Family oriented. Benefits aren't bad either. Everyone is great to work with and the business is successful. Great starter company .
1. Needs improvement in recruiting. ethics. 2. Pay per mile, in writing, for new recuite. 3. Destination per mile (zip code to zip code, not address to address). 4. Upgrade addresses for drivers.
I worked for their dedicated division hauling heavy forged parts for AAM. I did like the job...decent truck, most weekends off, laid back atmosphere. However, I just wasn't making enough money over there. I tried to explain it to management, but they didn't seem to care. Only when turnover got really bad did they decide to reluctantly give pay raises. Also, my boss was constantly trying to scam people. An example would be him telling you that your personal days are actually sick days and you can only use them if you get sick. And then they don't carry over to next year either. They also have a sign on bonus now. Problem is, they don't pay it within a year like industry standard. They drag the payout over 2 years...and it is taxed each time it is paid out. They also do deceptive things like run a classified ad looking for people with "tri-axle" experience, but when you hire in they have you pull a heavier 5-axle trailer for the same wage as the 3 axle trailers. The reasoning, according to a Matrix rep, is that both trucks "bump the same dock", therefore they should be paid the same. That is akin to saying the janitor in a hospital should be paid the same as a surgeon because they both "work in the same building". The final straw was when they wanted us to attend yet another MANDATORY Saturday meeting, but didn't want to pay us. They made it MANDATORY because people were skipping these meetings because they were mad at not being compensated for having to drive to and attend a Saturday meeting, and not even get paid. I filed a wage claim over that...AND WON!! Naturally, Matrix was not happy and retaliated by firing me (but they classified it as a quit to prevent me from collecting unemployment). Absolutely no severance pay either. Also, they give lip service to an "open door policy", but things will turn sour real quick for you if you try discuss issues that are bothering you. Management gets hostile to try to discourage and intimidate you from bringing up pay inconsistencies. Classic behavior when somebody is doing something wrong and they know it...they get angry and defensive when they are found out. They also have a long list of excuses why they can't pay a respectable wage. Also, as an employee attempting to earn a living, there was a constant conflict: I was trying to make money for myself, but Matrix's goal is to skimp and save and pay out as little as possible. See where the conflict occurs? The funniest thing about working here is that the owners constantly short-change drivers like this, then wonder why they can't get anybody. NEWSFLASH FOR THE OWNERS: DRIVERS TALK TO OTHER DRIVERS!!!
