Pros

decent pay for a truck driver. that's about it

Cons

Most everything I quit in October because of management.Dock operations are another major problem. Freight is frequently loaded poorly, which leads to damaged shipments and puts drivers in difficult situations with customers. Drivers are expected to represent the company professionally, but they are often set up to fail due to preventable mistakes made during loading. the dispatchers send you all over the place wasting gas but god forbid you turn on the AC when doing bills oh no you have to sweat to death! and I have personally heard dispatchers tell another driver "too bad your easily replaceable" nice huh?

Pros

Pay is decent compared to some competitors. The work itself is straightforward if you’re experienced on the dock.

Cons

Dock workers are clearly treated as the lowest priority despite management constantly saying “employees matter.” There is no real avenue to speak up—suggestions are routinely shut down, talked over, or dismissed with excuses about why nothing can change. Feedback feels pointless. Leadership at this terminal is a major issue. Both terminal managers are siblings, which creates an unprofessional dynamic and raises serious concerns about favoritism and accountability. Communication is poor, often disrespectful, and the language used by management is frequently inappropriate and unprofessional. Safety concerns are not taken seriously. Equipment and dock conditions are questionable, yet concerns are brushed off rather than addressed. Morale on the dock is low, and it feels like workers are expected to just accept unsafe or frustrating conditions without question. Turnover among dock workers is extremely high. Most people do not like working here, plain and simple, and they don’t stay long. New hires come and go quickly because the same issues—lack of respect, poor communication, and ignored concerns—never change.
