Great company, safety is of great importance too. Be the driver they urge you to be an clean up your bad driving habits and you'll be their to retire. Money is great an benefits great too. Let this company mold you into being a respectful n responsible driver and you'll go far. I screwed up my opportunity n tremendously regret it. Lesson learned but, in life you got to fall sometimes to realize what you had. Hope someday I get a chance to embrace my lost n have again. This company is worth everything n more.

Very good mid size to smaller company to work for. Good location for what it is ... lots and lots of plants and that type going out. Hard work unloading then breaking down .. I only left because my back went out and I couldn't perform the work anymore. I was in a lease with an old wore down truck .. but we kept repairing things and kept it going. They never denied anything I wanted with it .. felt like a good team effort with this company. After you're out, you can stay out as long as you want, unless they need you for more plant loads, running broker loads. My dispatcher was great .. one of the best I've had in 15 years. We worked TOGETHER in finding loads where I wanted to go. Pay was great, percentage wise. People in the office were great. Everything was on a first name basis. Any problems got solved immediately. I'd have stayed on, if I could.

Having been part of the Peninsula Trucking family for a staggering 22 years, I feel it's my duty to counter the recent negative review by Michael Rose. His experience is inconsistent with the overwhelming majority of feedback we receive and is not representative of the true essence of Peninsula Trucking. Being with the company for over two decades, I have seen first-hand the dedication Peninsula Trucking shows to its employees and clients alike. A company's worth is often demonstrated by its retention of staff, and Peninsula Trucking proudly boasts several employees, including myself, who have been with the company for many years. This fact in itself speaks volumes about the positive, supportive culture that permeates every level of the organization. The trucking industry can be unpredictable and challenging at times, but Peninsula has always prioritized maintaining open lines of communication and transparency. This helps to build trust and promotes a problem-solving mindset that inevitably leads to improved service delivery. Moreover, as a team, we are committed to ensuring that our clients' shipments arrive on time and in excellent condition, a commitment that we have upheld consistently over the years. It's this commitment to excellence that has earned Peninsula Trucking the positive reputation it holds today. Michael Rose's review does not reflect the experiences of many others who have worked with Peninsula Trucking. As someone deeply familiar with the company's operations and ethos, I can vouch for Peninsula Trucking's professionalism, integrity, and superior service. It truly is a great company to be a part of and to work with.

ZERO STARS! Actually NEGATIVE 5 stars! Trashiest people to work for. Complain about every small thing and make it out to be YOUR fault if something happens here at the job. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT work here.

I’ve been in trucking for quite a few years and I’ve worked with a few companies. But peninsula is definitely one of the worst when it comes to management and how they deal with their drivers very little respect when addressing you and when they make mistakes, they cover it up and show total disregard to The driver

What is the best part of working at the company? They treat you like a person. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Driving in traffic What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Work hard get it done. Go home. Pretty laied back. Unless you stir the pot. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Arrive 15 mins before shift, get your assignment for the day, find your trailer, varify bills with freight, reorganizing if needed. Find truck do pre trip, hook trailer, start delivering. 8 to 12 drop locations to deliver. When done have lunch. Then do pick ups 6 to 10 stops also. Picks done, drop trailer at terminal, post trip truck go home.
