Stellar place to work !

Long Haul Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 3 October 2021

I am semi retired now, but if I was going to go back to work at the coast, that's where I would go. Do your job, and safety leaves you alone. Great shop. Excellent equipment. Awesome dispatchers .

Company not good

Long Haul Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 7 April 2021

Not a good company to work for. Won’t pay you for wait time if you get stuck somewhere for days. They promise you a certain amount per month and doesn’t come true

Pros

No pros

Cons

Not a good company to work for

Enjoyable work environment

Long Haul Truck Driver (Current Employee) - Langley, BC - 16 March 2021

Great place to work with the opportunity to make really good money, They have great office staff and the other drivers are very personal and professional. The equipment is in good shape and very new compared to most trucking companies out there, the safety department does a great job of dealing with any concerns that arrive, overall a great and enjoyable place to work.

Very busy yard , many containers going in and out regularly

Driver (Former Employee) - Port Kells - 16 March 2021

RR Plett is a family-owned business. Work is plentiful for those looking. As in any trucking business, the wheels need turning to make money, They can be strict on the procedure but it is best for all. Great place to work

Pros

Drivers room w/TV, showers, laundry

Cons

sticklers for procedures

They fired you without any notice and reason

Heavy Duty Mechanic (Current Employee) - Langley, BC - 13 September 2020

I worked for this company since 2018. And till then i didn't feel secure about my position. Because they always keep you in frame for someone else's mistake. Even leadhands out there are not qualified to complete the jobs. You could possibly got fired for helping someone. They don't care under which circumstances you helped other technician.

Pros

Not much

Cons

Nothing to learn, no job security, no safety standards

Dont bother

Driver (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 5 September 2020

One dispatcher thought she was Beyonce. Rude with a chip on her shoulder. Payroll lady was a complete joke. Pushy company dispatch.To avoid paying fines they want you to drive illegally. Waste of time. Better companies out there. Also pay is substandard. Don't bother applying.

Pros

None

Cons

Kids running the show

Pushy management

Owner/Operator (Former Employee) - Port Kells, BC - 31 July 2020

I wouldn’t recommend working there as a driver or o/o. Very pushy dispatch and management. Management didn’t care, they just wanted the loads hauled..

Pretty good place to work

Highway Truck Driver (Current Employee) - Langley, BC - 23 August 2019

The work is pretty steady. The only issue is that doing a good job is like peeing yourself in a dark suit. It gives you a warm feeling, but nobody notices.

Great family run business

Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 26 March 2019

No business is perfect, especially in the trucking business. However, the Plett family are professional, fair and considerate. Stay away from the"never-never plan" they offer as far as becoming a owner-operator with their lease to own plan, but the same is true for all companies that offer those scams. The pay scale is market value with plenty of miles available. Equipment is maintained very well. This is a great place for a new driver to cut their teeth.

Pros

Safe equipment, good miles.

Cons

Limited routes

tough but good

Class 1 long haul driver (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 21 January 2016

They run a tough ship but they will always have your back if you are tired or have family plans they will accommodate. If given half a chance I would be on the road with them again

Pros

great pay

Cons

not much

Religious company, frowned upon us not being married, grouchy dispatcher

Driver logbook, Bill of lading, Inspection report (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 14 August 2012

dispatcher (when we worked there) very hard to get along with and consistently felt we were being judged for not being married. They want you to do so many miles a month, but can't provide a proper truck or the work to accomplish that
