One of your drivers with A hazardous load. Was driving through Houston Texas this morning and rain and very high traffic . Knowing full well the lane was ending he would not let me in. I honked to let him know I needed to get in and he sped up and almost pushed me into a barrier and cause me to wreck! I have been trying to reach out to the company to report this and none of their extensions work. I have pictures of this truck with a Vin number. Are used to work for a trucking company and what that man did today was absolutely unacceptable and if this was a reputable company this person would be fired. Hopefully they will reach out to me via my contact over their website because I darn sure can’t get in touch with him via phone. Seeing from their reviews it looks like maybe some of the companies that contract them should reconsider because that guy about killed me and several other people And almost caused a hazardous chemical spill on one of the biggest freeways in Houston. I’m going to do my very best to make sure that driver is not on the road because he will kill someone

Great company to work with and for. The parking situation is challenging due to all the businesses and only one exit. It's not unheard of to spend 10 - 15 mins just trying to get out of the garage. It's not horrible if you have a good audio book.

One of this company’s tanker drivers tried to side swipe my vehicle on Interstate 5 North near Woodburn, OR the driver was easily going more than 70 miles an hour and this was on 11/10/23 the driver tried to side swipe my vehicle three times. The first one was at 5:15pm and the traffic was not heavy.

If I could give negative stars that would be a fair rating. This is the absolute worst place for employment! They charge you for THEIR mistakes, they don't fix anything problems when the trucks are broken and beaten down. And when you do break down for 8+ hours, they don't call you or show any concern for your well being in a stranded enviroment. But they do, however, lie and flip stories around to make them look good in all situations. If you're thinking of coming to this affiliate (Laser Tank Lines)......DON'T!!!

Compensation is solid. If minimal home time suits you, this could be the ideal workplace. Personally, the long hours—14-hour shifts most of the time—were tough. If management listened to drivers and their suggestions, operations could improve, reducing turnover. Communication within the office is a major issue. Drivers struggle when management falls behind—dirty trailers assigned, incorrect pickup/delivery times given, and poorly scheduled loads. The workload is demanding: 14-hour shifts followed by a 10-hour break before diving back in. Additionally, newer drivers often receive better treatment than seasoned ones, enjoying different pay packages and weekends off.

What is the best part of working at the company? The fast-paced environment keeps things fresh; every day presents something new. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Navigating heavy traffic while out on the road. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Exceptional—dispatch is reliable, and the people are fantastic.

Operations were highly unorganized. A new driver manager was assigned to me almost every week, and no one seemed aware of overall company direction. For chemical tank drivers, working with a knowledgeable team is critical, but QC failed to provide that confidence.

QC has its ups and downs—sometimes workload is high, sometimes it's minimal. Too many drivers, not enough freight. Payroll issues arise frequently, often with little resolution from corporate. You must request work when they know you're home. Post-COVID, operations remain slow. Management does accommodate family emergencies and sick leave when necessary.
