They unloaded fast and the work by appointment only from 5:00 am to 11:00 am . My appointment was at 10:00 am , I came one hour late , my broker had to set up a new appointment for the next day at 5:00 am. No overnight parking but isn’t a problem, because there’s a Love’s and a TA close by , just less than 2 mi.
Just delivered a load here from Canada. Lots of room, easy to get into, and friendly people and very fast. Thank you!
Lots of space to backup Would give 5* if there was overnight parking so I didn’t have to start my clock from Truck stops TA & Loves literally 2miles away. Checked in on time for 6am appt got a door right away $150 lumper,started unloading @6:40 empty in 30 minutes waiting for green light & paperwork Update 7:30 bills in hand
Receiving needs an attitude adjustment, thinking he is some kind of hotshot for waking up truck drivers. You're a glorified nap time instructor. If you are that jealous that I get to sleep, go be a trucker instead of a door greeter.
Arrived at 0630 for a 0700 appointment Docked right away Out of here within the hour WONDERFUL
Friday 10:30 app.Out 11:00 witth papers in hands 44 thousands lbs full truck 👌
Nice place fast unloading receiving room have Restroom allowed to use
Bunch of clowns here... Favoritism at its fullest. None of them are trustworthy. To the suits in the office. Down to the warehouse workers. Was stressed after losing job here. But soon realized there's much better out there
Appointment time is 11 am Unload with in 15 minutes Fast and friendly staff But they don’t have overnight parking
Fix ur loading dock so I don't have to slam into it just for the locking stability arm to slide under my ICC bumper or this happens
Great place. Nice and friendly staff. Appointment was 11 am. Got here at 9am. Got the door right away and started unloading already.
Checked in early for unloading and they are unloading early and fast. Very friendly staff and clean facility

There is no overnight parking, but there are two truck stops less than 3 miles away. They always get me in and unloaded quickly.
Absolutely no parking in the area. YOU MUST GO TO TRUCK STOP 2 MILES AWAY. State police will give you a ticket and make you move. Checkin at office in the middle of building. Park to the side don't block driveway or doors. Staff is nice and fast unload. Break seal put in back in. Light turns red when they are done it turns green. Go get paperwork and done! Don't be late! Took 42 mins to unload full trailer!! Wish every customer would work like them.
Their driver don't get paid as the driver. They get paid pretty much as a lumper. They drive and unload by hand cart running up and down ramp. Delivery in small place like Wendy's. You know how much we pay for the lumper for the full loaded trailer,$300+!.they make $1200 average weekly. 2 years contracts. They don't have their own truck. They drive different truck every load. Truck are old and dirty. They work so hard, company need to pay them more and restaurant need to give them some tips.
What is the best part of working at the company? They. Suck don't know what there doing been driving 20 years worst company I ever worked for left after 6 weeks was a waste of time. Drivers beware !!! What is the most stressful part about working at the company? They don't know what there doing. Want to blame you for lack of leadership What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Poor leadership there boss have no experience in there fielld What is a typical day like for you at the company? Total confusion no leadership no communion.
Rude dispatch that will constantly call you and wake you up hrs before you’re suppose to leave disrespectful supervisors that like to blackmail people if you don’t submit to their demands. Advertise 1300 a week for 4 days. You will make about 900. All lies and empty promises.
They are a fair company if you just keep your head down and do your job. Plenty of money to be made if you are willing to work. Great health benefits and ESOP is nice if you are willing to put in the time. It trucking so, there are good places you will go and bad. That is just what we do.
I did not enjoy any of my time here. I should have known when I started questioning my decision to work here during orientation. Say goodbye to any sleep schedule you have. Trucks are in decent shape, but I hope you like the smell of cigarettes. All the truck smell like it. It's is slip seating of course, and you will find food in the truck from the last driver, amongst other things. I also hope you like driving in New Jersey, because you will be going to Keasby, a lot. Starting out you won't get good runs, those are held for senior drivers exclusively. I didn't enjoy any of my time here so I moved on. For some it works because they stayed too long and are trapped by ESOP, which is admittedly good if you want to spend tour whole career here.
easy job for the most part definitely stressful and managers do not really care about anything besides the fact that the work needs to be done. The hours are not even close to set times you can go in one day and be out in 4 hours the next you are there for 12 plus hours.
If you’re just starting out and need a CDL, they will train you but also make you sign a 2 year contract. So if you don’t mind the 2 year or you owe 7k contract then go get your driving experience. You will be under paid and over worked. And management only care about the product being moved and not the drivers. Everything is the drivers fault and any mishaps will come out of your check, whether you’re right or wrong. The warehouse load the trucks horribly and it’s your fault if they damage product. Dispatch aren’t helpful and they get annoyed when you ask them anything. The overall culture and moral of the company is horrible. If you’re not in management they treat you like you’re not a asset to the company at all.
Great place to work for loved every second of the job tough job rewarding, but you get what you put in and the money isn’t bad either keeps you motivated
Management doesn't communicate, warehouse 9/10 give bad loads and don't secure properly, gps doesn't properly navigate you to new stores on routes, trucks are in bad shape, and they advertise 4 day weeks but they really mean 6 only work here if you hate yourself and want no time home.
Didnt mind the hard work and was always on time for my shift but the company was not. truck was always loaded 2 to 4 hours late and they blame covid like everyone does. drivers aren't quitting because of covid, drivers are quitting because they are treated poorly. All I wanted to do was go to work every shift do my job and go home and they penalized me for wanting to do so.
I'm a jockey there and its fun work, lots of practice in backing and maneuvering. But the place is so mismanaged which creates a lot of stress for everyone. Not good communication, short tempers in management. Regular workers are really fun to work with though, they know how to make work fun
Management thinks they are better than drivers. Drivers are expected to work more than humanly possible they call on days off to work. The co. president thinks drivers are all high school dropouts and are a dime a dozen. He only cares about the ones who stuck up and conform to his philosophy.
Great benefits, great pay. You do earn it through the delivery can be difficult sometimes but the pay reflects it. Supervisor was very willing to work with your schedule but you do have to put your time in. Took about 6 months to get comfortable but once you do the job is great.
Willow Run advertises $1,200 a week for a four day work week and that’s a lie. If you work four days as a driver you make $600-850 a week. They expect you to drive out of hrs and than fix it in there computers after your run is done. If you refuse to take a third illegal run there Vice President tells you that your not a team player.
Job is ok but working on a temp or on call basis kind of sucks I like long rides so distance wasn't the problem sometimes you get really rude drivers but we all here for a paycheck
I basically organize tractor trailer for the over the road drivers at a food distribution center, typical day at work involves parking tractor trailers all day, 10.5 hour day shifts. The hardest part of the job is the paper work, although it's still easy, simple yet complexed. Well put together company.
I got my license thru Willow run and for that I am grateful but that’s it, I was suspended for a week after getting a log violation ticket, when I went to court the ticket was dismissed but I didn’t get my weeks pay back. Drivers are expected to available to take a run 24/7, you have paid sick days but good luck using them, you get vacation but plan on using it in the winter. The entire management team is looking out for themselves and nobody else. You can get some start up experience here but then move on!
ESOP is fantastic here you can make a good living and retire here. The only bad thing I can say as a driver is that any damage to equipment is considered an accident and they think every accident is preventable.
As my title says, it's a great starting point but that's about it. There is no advancement at willow. You are just another driver. The employees make that company, management isn't very good to them at all ! If management was better to it's drivers it could be the better local company to work for, but the office makes it their mission to break your faith. Nice/good people can't survive in this environment very long.
I really enjoyed my time there but being a shuttle driver, I don’t think it was fair to have to drive to ny for the safety meetings, I never went and lost all my bonuses. Also they kept changing my route up which was annoying. Other than that I really liked working there. Fantastic people, very friendly. Good money and the ESOP program makes up for the smaller salary relative to some other trucking compajies
not enough compensation for the drivers. decent home time for cdl driver. faulty equipment such as old hands trucks and they refuse to upgrade to product scanners for drivers, they still insist on pulling stickers like its 1980
Just like any job or new adventure, it was really fast and confusing at first. Once however you're there for a little while things slow down and run smoothly! I'm also still employed there.
Not a good place for truck drivers. the pay is not the average for what you do. The management is horrible. They don't care about the drivers.i would never recommend this company to anyone.
