Great Culture and Leadership - werkgeversreview Executive bij GP Transco

The company is extremely honest and transparent with its staff, including all employees in weekly company-wide meetings where detailed information about accomplishments, goals, and challenges is shared with all. Salaries are competitive, benefits are great, people here are smart and leadership is highly proactive.

The trucking industry as a whole has been going through a downturn for the past 3 years, which affects the frequency of pay increases. But, this is common in the industry at the moment and is not unique to GP Transco.

Salary is fair and paid weekly. Systems, technology, assets and maintenance/ shop are good. Their headquarters have a few amenities.

Planning is done last minute, too much workload, micromanagement, no raises, no advancement opportunities, walking on eggshells, drivers are pushed too hard, you are just a number. PTO is difficult to get approved. No work/ life balance. You will work 45 plus hours a week with no additional compensation. Too many responsibilities and drivers to comfortably manage. They favor foreign offices/ employees over US based workforce. They are constantly pushing for profits and not the well being of their drivers/ employees. You will be expected to work as a robot and be disciplined for the smallest of mistakes. Management and coworkers are quick to point blame and throw you under the bus. Drivers have difficulty getting miles and making it home on time. They expect you to manage 30 drivers. Claim to care about employees or drivers but run as a typical Eastern European trucking company. They exploit foreign workforce wages in Lithuania and Colombia. Benefits are expensive. If you have no other opportunities it’s worth exploring but otherwise I would stay away. High turnover rate for both drivers and dispatchers. It is difficult to take lunch/ breaks. You will be working non stop from 7am-5pm.
