Good afternoon, thank you for your review we always appreciate your feedback and constructive criticism as it helps us build a stronger and better working environment for our employees. As we always do our best to update you with the status of work as much in advance and we can it does lye in the hands of our customers who are requesting the work, and as for the "inconsistent" work and hours, as a company everything we do is flat rate so we don't go by hours everything is based off of days and containers. We are very busy however sometimes there are rail delays which do compromise work at locations.

Very intense and strenuous job

Shipper/Receiver (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 30 July 2014

Poor management holds back this company as you don't have set hours. The dispatcher text's you locations to go to at last minute and at any time of day. Hard to keep steady paycheck and job security is lacking.

Pros

Payed per trailer

Cons

upwords of 150lb boxes to lift and move by yourself

Thank you for your feedback, we do let all employees know that there is not a set schedule on a weekly basis or a certain amount of hours per day required to work, this gives people the opportunity to finish their days work in a timely manner; the schedule is made on a day-to-day basis by our dispatchers who receives the customer forecast a day in advance as well, so as much as we try to give you notice for the next days work, we do sometimes have customers that receive unexpected containers on the day of which we do try our best to accommodate. This will, also, give our employees an opportunity to generate more income.
