Didn't like delivering here one bit, they open at 8:30, which is super late as is. By the time I get done traffic is hellish already. Then they didn't start unloading me till about an hour after they opened which I would understand if they were busy but I was the only one there. Only good thing was the clean bathrooms. Hope I don't get loads to this place no more.
Let your drivers know they don’t own the roads. Trying to block TWO lanes of traffic with two trucks parked side by side in down town Boston is idiotic. Luckily a cop came over and let the waiting vehicles go. Your drivers don’t have the authority to stand in the road with their hand up blocking tracking mid day in the city. Let a detail officer make those decisions or you’re asking for trouble.
Worked with Upstaging as a contractor in 2023 and they were absolutely top notch and world class! Treated me with the upmost respect.
On time everytime , like surgeons with 18 wheels Thanks 👍
Appointment for pickup in the middle of the lunch break just a waste 1 hour of truckers time
TSO west tour 2021
I was at our dentist office and noticed a clear barrier that this company upstaging made.I thought the company was just what it is They clearly make some of the finest protective face to face barriers I have seen.Fine example of a company doing their very best to keep moving forward in this pandemic.I see their trucks going down the road on occasion very nice and clean I must say.But I believe they make displays and such as well as these fine barriers.Great job Upstaging your craftsman and craftsmanship rock
Great company to work for I've been there for years and counting the days until we will be back to normal entertaining the fans
I have worked here 12 years now as a tour driver.
I love this company
Specialized company for stage lighting and trucking. Very demanding yet rewarding experience. Management is very reliable, understanding, and will "bend over backwards" to assist with any roadside needs or family emergencies. Absolutely the very best company I've ever worked for; however, they DEMAND professionalism and integrity and rightly so. This is a highly respectable company and they expect their employees to go "over and above" to meet customer satisfaction. The nature of work the company performs does not allow for good work/home time balance; however, the company is very proactive in helping one schedule "home time" in relationship to touring schedules. UPSTAGING became like a second home not only to me but my co-workers, as well. Absolutely love this company!
Used to be to work for, turned into a freight company mentality!!You had to know someone to get hired on, Hiring anyone now!! Not a good job if you have young kids!! Tours could last 2-6 months, depending on the tour you’re on.
First and foremost, this company specializes in handling concert tours, so they are NOT a normal trucking company. That being said, there are certain things you must understand: - Almost zero hometime when on tour. - Pay is quite good with tour bonuses/benefits. - "No Touch" loads do NOT exist; you help loading/unloading. - 99% night driving. - Well-defined, advanced scheduling! - Tours can be a blast with the right co-workers! - NO riders or pets (HUGE bummer). - Big city downtown driving required.
Great company to work for. As a driver you can expect to be trusted to do your job without daily contact with management. If you are experiencing a problem you have a lead driver who can help and be your voice to production or the office. You will be working as a team member and assist other drivers, including opening trailer doors and watching out for obstacles to prevent accidents.
I’ve been rollin’ with ‘em for years. They ain’t your run-of-the-mill truckin’ company, lemme tell ya. They’re like family
You do work you’re proud of, and the pay
Up to a hundred grand a year! And get this, it ain’t based on miles – even zero-mile days on tour get you paid!
Upstaging’s got the finest rigs – company-owned tractors and trailers that shine like a new dime.
they got a logistics crew on call 24/7 – nothin’ slips through the cracks. So, if you’re lookin’ for a gig that’s more than just haulin’, Upstaging’s where it’s at, my friend.
They’re like the secret sauce of truckin’, ya know
Been haulin’ loads with ‘em since the cows came home.
You hop in that cab, and it’s like straddlin’ a wild bronco – power under your boots, wind in your hair, and CB chatter buzzin’ like a hive of bees.
They’ll route ya through shortcuts even Google Maps don’t know about!
