Current Employee - Dec 3, 2022

Rather if you go on indeed or on their website. You assume that you are filling out an application for first shift or mid-morning as they call it. You go in for your interview you discuss the jobs they explain to you pretty much that it should run into second shift, and then I asked is there any chance that you guys would make me work a third shift job as linehaul or anything like that and he assured me that that's not the case that those jobs paid more money and they were bid only by senior Union members and unless I bidded on a job like that once I had my seniority that I would not be put on a job like that pretty much is what I was told. So then I asked him about the days of work and he basically told me that after my 30 days that would decide whether or not I was working the Monday through Friday job or Tuesday through Saturday job I asked him if he knew the start times and he basically told me at that time he did not so then he couldn't be confident and giving me the exact hours I politely declined the job he said why don't you give me a call in a week and I should know what your hours will be I agreed a week later called him up was told that my start time would be from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday is that good for you I said it works perfectly with my daycare I would like to remind you that I cannot work third shift and I might have a problem working Saturdays if I was asked he assured me but that was not a problem so I agreed and I took the job about 2 weeks into the job I found out the truth I came in on a Friday and was told that I would be starting third shift the following Sunday New applicants beware deceptive hiring practices

They're a union ltl company based in e Moline il, and they do business in the surrounding states. Wages are on the low side, a little bit lower than yrc pay. City pay is hourly with 1.5x after 40, linehaul is mileage plus hourly. Health care is fully paid by the company and they are in the central states pension unless something changed in the last couple years. They are owned by DHL of all people...

This company has the worst management skills I have ever encountered. They do not communicate to their employees properly, refuse to supply information like vacation start times, attendance records, policy changes and frequently break labor laws and union policies as well as sharing confidential and personal information with co-workers. They have NO team building skills and create dissent amongst the ranks. This is the worst working atmosphere I have ever been involved in. I just think when you run a business, you shouldn't run over the people you have working for you. It sucks.

A close friend of mine worked for them. 3 month's of hell, the way he described it...dispatcher's were the biggest complaint. They would make him work 19 hour's a day. Then the safety-manager would pull him in the office and ask wtf? He would explain the dispatcher said to work or be done. 

I feel for anyone that has to work for standard forwarding.

Well they are now at an 8.8% pay back to the company and the top pay is $17.55 an hour AND the union now wants to increase their cut as well...I can only imagine that the starting pay at 85% of $17.55 is not what I would call paying well and that takes 18 months until you see a raise......rough.... but if you like to be abused and taken advantage of ....well ...go for it .......
