Low pay for flatbedder

Truck Driver - Class 1 (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 8 November 2023

I took a job with deckx when the patch got slow, was paid 48cpm and was also driving from Montreal to Vancouver, was alot of payroll mistakes that I had to always question the head office about and when my 90 day probation period was up they let me go. Booking time off there is like pulling teeth and no guarantee that you'll get it off regardless of what's going on in your personal life

Pros

Nice truck

Cons

Pay, management, dispatcher

Great co-workers/management and fair pay

Diesel Technician (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 17 August 2023

Enjoyed my 3 years of employment working in the shop, co-workers and other mechanics are very friendly and willing to give you a hand whenever needed. Management was never to be feared of and would always work with you as long as you had a good work ethic and attitude. Pay was fair, and raises were given throughout my employment. Shift schedules allowed for a great home/ work balance as you had a minimum of 3-4 days off a week depending on which shift you were on.

Amazing place to work

This is a good place to work and grow. Culture is very good and management is also good. I learned a lot from this place which helped me in my carrier.

Avoid the stress, Cooperate Thugs

Owner/Operator (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 22 May 2023

They do everything possible to make sure that Owner op doesn’t make enough money to feel like a winner. Their philosophy is; if you keep him hungry you keep him on the road pushing hard. If you don’t mind chasing your own financial tail then by all means. By the time you make truck payments and take your taxes out you might as well be working at a fast food joint. It is Not worth the risk of driving a 80,000lbs vehicle though Canada and the USA.

It’s alright

Yard Labourer (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 29 April 2023

Office workers at night were okay when there were any, though morning and day shift were rude and unprofessional beyond reason, speaking condescendingly towards drivers instead of simply answering their questions And over all making the work environment a very volatile place

Gave a 1 because minus 100 wasn't avail

Service writer (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 28 March 2023

The culture is rotten to the core Dispatch is volitile, who don't know their jobs and burn over anyone they can, and that's taught by management. The employees and drivers core are great folks, middle management and upper management don't care, don't support, and nurture churn and burn attitude My manager in particular burned me out of holiday money purely because of his own failure, and HR was no help. My money is still in their pockets Overall the worst place to work for in Canada 🇨🇦

Pros

Employees

Cons

Culture management

An unhappy and stressful place with poor management

Shunt Driver (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 23 March 2023

The warehouse in Calgary has the worst possible manager you could imagine. It is a dirty and dusty place. The pay is poor. City O/O's are paid poorly. Driver's had complained about not being paid. Very little room for advancement. Very little overtime. Poor culture.

Pros

Fairly easy work

Cons

Horrific management

Terrible place to work

Office Administrator (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 21 May 2022

Poor management, they don't care about employees who do the job well. High stress environment. Some coworkers know what they're doing, others make working there a nightmare because they don't know what they're doing. They put the work of 3 people onto one person. No opportunity to move up.

Pros

It pays the bills

Cons

Management doesn't care, poor work/life balance, does not pay a living wage

Good for beginners

Long Haul Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 19 May 2022

There could be a lot of unpaid waiting depends on where you go. Used to be a very good company but new dispatch is not very good at planning loads .And if there's any waiting time , you might get paid some of that after so many phone calls and emails.

Pros

Nice Peterbilt 579 trucks

Cons

Dispatchers lie a lot and lots of unpaid waiting time.

Lots of work...good equipment

Truck Driver - Class 1 (Former Employee) - New Westminster, BC - 5 May 2022

As a driving job for a big company it was alright. All driving jobs for these companies are essentially the same. Nothing about company culture stands out but the dispatchers on the West Coast were amazing. Some if the safety requests Going into terminals were a bit much but all part if the job.

Foot in the door for Transportation

Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 3 April 2022

Very fast paced, independent work style. Easy to get a job here as they are always hiring due to high turn over rate. Management tries, however everyone is over worked due to under staffing. Participating in the company football pool, or Friday golf days is a great way to get ahead. However, hard work and hand raising are rewarded with more of the same work, no additional pay or advancement. No clear employment trajectories for long term advancement. Major pay discrepancy between staff in the same positions, same general experience. Pay scale mostly depends on your negotiations on hire. All major management positions outside of HR are extremely male heavy, with women mostly contained to administrative and entry level roles. Almost all management positions are filling through internal promotion. Great place for a select few people, and a great place to start out before moving on to bigger and better things if you are just trying to get your foot in the door for transportation
