Fleet Supervisor

Pros

Oh God do I must be honest? Nothing.

Cons

Awful place, awful management, poor training. About 10 administrative employees have quit in the last 8 months. Management at Shelbyville is awful, they will throw you under the bus quickly and blindside you. It's like they don't want anyone to get a fair chance. Also the truckers complain about how poor the management treats them. They don't care that the truck drivers have a family and a life. Do not be fooled when offered a fleet supervisor position. Everyone in administrative is a dispatcher, do not get it twisted that you are actually a real fleet supervisor because everyone is one. You are actually just a dispatcher that's all it is.

Pros

With a 10 percent match on 401k and a free retirement after lifelong commitment to the company it doesn’t seem to bad . Big G gives out safety bonuses for good driving and safe driving. They make sure it’s before Christmas as well. That’s huge . Also their ELD system is state of the art . I never seen anything like this . I’m still new to this place but so far so good.

Cons

Even knowing the company is employee owned I feel like allot of money is being funneled into company acquisitions and quite possibly retirement and it’s not horrible thing. But with that being said I think when or if upper management begins thinking about NOW for the drivers it will be better . Also dentition system needs to be looked up and updated with national average payouts . Not sitting 24 hours for free . That kinda is demoralizing to anyone.
