You don’t get any holidays off the pay is is 21.00 hour they want you to be over qualify and under paid
Thought I'd give a fair rebuttal to some negative reviews. Pay is smaller than other hazmat for sure, but depending on location you're not working the full shift. I've had days I've just been on standby getting paid. Company has their drivers backs from what I've seen. All drivers have been in accidents in my locations (most are others drivers faults) and they haven't even come close to the word 'fired'. From pay issues to adding beneficiarys, I've gotten help from every one in the chain of command. Not saying it's for everyone, but it's not that bad of a job in a field where most places can fire without cause. And the trucks are on the site leads plate to get fixed, so take it up with them. They have one corporate office that I'm aware of in Utah, and a lot of sites to manage, so yes sometimes it can be hard to get a hold of them. With that said, I've never had an issue getting a problem solved, just takes time sometimes
This company is a joke. They will post a truck driving job but in reality you are a fuel tech that will be fueling up locomotives for Union Pacific and Amtrak. The pay is low anywhere from $17 to $18.50 starting and you work every weekend and holidays, twelve hour shifts with mandatory overtime and never a constant work schedule because of the turnover rate. It is a 24/7 environment. The health benefits is the only thing good and even their PTO is lame. You will only get 5 paid time off days a year for personal time. The turnover for employees is absolutely ridiculous and its all because of the environment you have to work in. The equipment will constantly break down and management is non existent. Management is quick to post jobs to try and find employees with less experience willing to work for less pay. It used to be owned by Savage and was sold off to A.Stuki because of the high cost and money woes. If you are looking for a job my advice is to stay away from these guys because it will save you a lot of stress and headache. I won't even start on how Union Pacific treats you when they expect you to be fueling in two places at the same time, that's another factor with this joke of a job. Oh and yeah you get audited by a 3rd party every so often randomly while fueling and well if you do not get 97% or above you get fired. So yeah if you want to work for a joke of a company and be stressed out with low pay, this is the job for you.
I declined the 16.00 an hour offer to fuel trains. What a joke and insult. The base for this type of job should be at least 30.00 dollars an hour. Dont take anything less than 25-27 an hour.
Awful company. Insulting pay for a hazmat tanker driver! Starting at 18 per hr with no Guarantee for any raises! I'd give them negative if I could!
was a good place to work at at first things were great but when people started quitting because of going over the road which was not designated in the beginning of the application process people started quitting then towards the end they had lazy people that they couldn't replace because they had not enough people to fill the positions so people were doing twice the work while others were doing nothing ended up resigning and got shorted 10 hours on my last check and still to this day is trying to recoup the money I lost while I was working there can't get any calls back from Adrian or anybody up through corporate if you end up working in the North Baltimore area be careful because you will end up getting screwed
Would not recommend
If you’re just starting out learning how to drive, this is a great Job. On the other hand, it is unsafe the maintenance on the vehicles not adequate to perform the job duties. And when you inquire about these repairs, I’ll bring it to their attention. You are then placed with a target on your back. Disciplinary actions will be retaliation to you reporting anything. Trucks are not repaired, causing injuries to employees, and then they are scrutinized for recording the proof. And then when you refused to perform the duties because they are unsafe, they find any reason to terminate you.
The job is not too hard. You're responsible for fueling train engines during a 12 hour shift 4 days a week. A good place to start if you want to be exposed to the fuel industry.
The money was ok, many hours overtime. Training was poor at best comapny has no hazmat ploicies . Their only policy is to blame the driver. they still haven't taken care of my job injury as require by law. I have trouble walking and back movement. They are a sham company for the railroads to cover liabilities. The equipment is fair at best and worked on by a unqaulified person so there was always problems. They have weekly fuel spills which they cover up if on railroad property and fire the driver even though its due to their own negligence.
A typical day is coming in to be on call. Some days are busier than others, some days drag by. You carry a company cell phone and get calls to go fuel trains. Other times you run to the refinery and refill your truck and either use it to fill trains or bulk tanks at the railyard. Just be prepared for anything and everything. Trucks break down a lot, constantly getting flat tires due to debris in the railyard. Very reactive instead of proactive. Be prepared to work nights, weekends and holidays. It’s pretty laid back, but when you get a call, don’t mess around and get your job done. Communicate with your colleagues. Pretty much everyone I worked with works well together.
Our Charlotte, NC location is run very fairly. Everyone here is easy to work with. We never need to hurry. They train you properly for the tasks you will be doing. Safety is number one. We work in rail yards where trains are always moving. The pay is fair, they give raises and they have good benefits.
Overall a great company if you love being on call 24/7 during your work days time away from home you if you love to travel great money and different cities every month
I showed up every day and ready to work while I watched Lazy employees sleep all day. This place is all right. I They got rid of the lazy people horrible management too.
What is the best part of working at the company? Being at home every night for family. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? 12 hours shift and poor management What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Not very good, a lot of bad attitudes. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Long and tedious, sometimes very boring
Been with VRS in Evansville, In 2 months now. Trained w/ someone on day's 2 weeks. Then trained with someone on nights for 1 week. Learn to be dispatched to fuel Locomotive's safely at various location's locally. Lot's of aspect's to learn: 1) listen to 2 way radio for dispatch 2) location along the track and loco Id to talk to locomotive crew when necessary 3) how much fuel to have on-board the semi trailer at any time etc,etc. Opportunity for more income by be a floater at various location's. Income for a floater can gross 6 figures annually, other wise your set pay amount before starting. I recommend VRS.
Management on east coast is a minus- your just a number to put in a seat.if you are new plan on never getting a weekend off unless you put in for vacation time
What is the best part of working at the company? The management, love working hopefully I can get hired back if I apply again What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Working with lazy people want you to do there job What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Loved it and I will recommend this job What is a typical day like for you at the company? Family atmosphere, we helped each other communications was good
What is the best part of working at the company? Was great employment, management a little sporadic.. was there 2 years. I was told to take off for rotator cuff surgery, they were fine with 2 months off, but when doctors wanted me off a third month.. they let me go. And told me to reapply! After being a dedicated employee, and safety and maintenance lead, despite them having big turnover rates and no one sticking around 😑, then wanted me to apply at different location. I went back to my previous employer What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Deadlines and traffic, expectations What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Poor. Management a problem. A big turnover rate, in employees and management.. not sticking behind employees and not repairing equipment What is a typical day like for you at the company? Long and boring, most nights or hectic other days
What is the best part of working at the company? The work isn't hard and you deliver fuel at the same location which I love. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? It's really not stressful, but you just get more calls when working the yard. Not really a big deal. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? It's really cool ans layed back. What is a typical day like for you at the company? It's really depend on how many calls that you get each day, but for the most part not bad.
What is the best part of working at the company? Was an enjoyable position if you like working around large equipment. The only drawback I had was the pay. Way to low and no chance for advancement. Top pay had me back in wages I made back in the 1980’s, forced me to find work elsewhere… What is the most stressful part about working at the company? No issues here except for changes shift times daily. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Work environments were just dealing with the elements. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Arriving at work and finding out the upcoming fueling requirements and truck tank levels. After doing a proper handover it would be up to me to plan my day be contacting the tower for fueling times and a trip to the refinery to upload truck tanks.
I had the worst shift time of all my co workers but my Site Leader would work with me to give me the days off I needed for special events with my Family. I really miss working here guaranteed good pay every Friday. The Insurance was very affordable. I wish they would just call me and say "Hey stuff happens " and let me come back.
Horrible management and lazy coworkers who get mad at you and make up lies and try to get u into trouble because you are doing your job and they don’t want to look bad for not doing there’s,this includes site management and upper management
What is the best part of working at the company? Bottom of the barrel, the people you work with are the laziest people you will ever meet. Job pays way below the rest of the industry What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Dealing with employees that don’t want to do their job. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? The work invironment sucks, you are forced to sit in your personal vehicle every day because their office is only large enough for one person. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Lots of sitting, multiple days of nothing to do at all. This is a extremely boring job.
Very laid back environment, great place to work. You are not supervised no one is on your back. Just fueling Train engines safely and paying attention to detail and you're surrounding. Management is great and very caring about family life and is very understanding and considerate. Great place to work. Your definitely family and your a name not a number.
It’s almost too much to say in this review…but I’ll start by saying this company is horrible. The pay is well under the industry standard and not compensated for being a Tanker driver but instead they job code drivers as Fuel Technicians for they could pay less. It’s good to get your experience there but not a long term job solution. Management doesn’t know anything and very disorganized. The equipment never works properly and management expects job to still get done. Staffing is completely terrible and the Railroad Op Managers talk to you like trash on the street. Work life balance doesn’t exist and you’ll be working on your off days consistently while getting underpaid to do so, then they get mad when you get OT how ironic. Any company could beat this company so stay far away!!
What is the best part of working at the company? Getting experience so I could move on ! What is the most stressful part about working at the company? The terrible management that blame you for their stupidity What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Very unorganized and terrible management What is a typical day like for you at the company? Figuring out what to do without any help or management to tell you what needs to be done
What is the best part of working at the company? The pay and the work is not that bad What is the most stressful part about working at the company? The equipment could be a little bit better What is the work environment and culture like at the company? The work environment is great. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Come load my truck if it’s not loaded fuel engines directed by yard personnel
It's tough but great pay and only 4 days a week! Learn a lot here and enjoy what I do. Its a niche job and after you work here you'll be able to do any other driver job out there!
This place was a joke. The equipment broke down more often than it ran and we were expected to try and repair it ourselves. There’s no manager in Utah, just a regional out of California, so getting any real help with major problems was difficult. I put in for vacation 6 months in advance, just to be told 3 days before my time off that I couldn’t take it. They said they were short handed, as if that was my fault. You fuel trains for Union Pacific Railroad and are a contractor for them. They often treat you like you don’t belong there, because you aren’t part of their railroad club. It’s an entry level fuel hauling tanker job that gets you experience, so you can go get a real fuel hauling job that makes real money. Get in, get your experience, and then get out fast!
What is the best part of working at the company? Was my local manager, very nice person What is the most stressful part about working at the company? The coworkers, really hard to get along What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Hostile and womanizer, always had problem working night shift with the other coworker What is a typical day like for you at the company? Sitting and waiting on trains to fuel, sometimes was busy and sometimes slow
It’s an easy job/ not stressful. The pay is decent if your just starting out. Management is cool and responsive. Benefits are good. Only negative in my opinion is pto and raises.
If I could give 0 stars, I would. This place is good if you need CDL experience, but other than that, that’s it. Management does not care about you, you are just a number to them. Equipment is garbage and you are expected to work on it even if you don’t have experience doing so. 60 hour weeks required, every week. No seniority whatsoever when it comes to schedule, they will cater to night shift and swing shift no matter what because they can’t get anyone to work here. Constantly have to work more because of other coworkers, and management doesn’t ‘manage’ anything. It’s every man for himself. Pay is also on the low end compared to other company’s.
Pay is low, hours are long,It's a truck driving job. Working as a contractor for the railroad is not the best situation .You can sit all day, work all day or something in between. Come to work rested with a good attitude and you will do fine.
Job is real simple, it’s an enjoyable job. I got more sleep in those trucks than I did at home. You’re mostly sitting and waiting for locomotives. CSXT is very incompetent, and Velocity caters to their every desire, even if it means setting themselves up for failure. Very poor equipment!! Worst I’ve seen. Very low pay. Good starter job if you’re new to trucking and want to haul fuel, but need experience to get the better paying jobs.
your not allowed to ask questions an you must stand there while they scream and threaten you it was the one most terrifying stressful place i have ever worked they go out of there way to belittle an demean you there's no one to contact for assistance
The company is not completely forth coming of duties and overall responsibilities. The majority of your tasks will be cleaning toilets. The manager is completely inept and clueless. The employees are the same. You’ll mostly be doing another shifts work. Benefit package is terrible. You’ll only receive 2 week’s vacation after 3 years of working there and don’t expect a raise.
Really bad company to work for. They don't follow the DOT hours of service while hauling HAZMAT. big problem if you are involved in an accident, where you might end up in jail if someone gets hurt. pay is low. The site lead is horrible, disrespect the drivers every opportunity that he gets. The drivers do let the managers know, but they are all out of state and they do nothing about it.
Do yourself a favor and just move on. They will suck all the life out of you for very little pay. You have tremendous responsibility hauling fuel and they provide you with little training and the worst equipment..
Haz MT fuel truck driver . Minimum 60 hours a week. Low pay. No holidays off. Only one week of vacation per year until 3 years employment. Then two weeks vacation. Insurance has a $2000 deductible needs to be met.
