Papason Trucking

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with Jenni as dispatcher was an awesome experience!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Beyond regular day-to-day activities with small shipment discrepancies, regular maintenance issues common to any trucking company I experienced minimal disruptions.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Most drivers and employees are positive, helpful and  courteous!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive at predetermined “depart” time, obtain dispatch sheets and distribution paperwork, any additional instructions, pretrip, assigned truck & trailers perform tasks.

All companies have there good and bad . This company is growing and in the works of trying to upgrade a lot of equipment.  Nice thing is a shop right next door they do most the work on trucks. If you need something shop is next door . If you get a breakdown most the time you get paid for it . Also tow trucks come right away if ever needed 

Working in the warehouse is pretty slack, picking orders and loading trailers.  You have to be organized and pay attention, but it's not hard work.  The management is pretty hands off, for the most part, which is okay for the most part.  The crew are pretty chill, which is nice, but when you're training, make sure you take charge of your own learning because no one is going to go out of their way to make sure you know what you're doing.  The hardest part of the job is picking orders, finding the right products in the warehouse.  I enjoyed it most once I was driving and doing deliveries.

A typical day was to start prepping my truck, clean my trailers and get my load the information from dispatch. The management that I had in Kelowna, we’ve had our differences at times but we did work together very well. Workplace was pretty much laid-back, but safety was the number one priority which everybody follow. Most thing I enjoyed both this job at Papas and trucking was been able to run to the go do a pick ups and still have time to get back and sometimes I stayed in my truck at the shop. I went home the following day and started the day..

Backbiting and slander frequent in the office. Management does nothing to really stop negative behaviour. People get fired frequently for minimal reasons. Hot headed boss who is verbally abusive to staff members. Pay is very low and raises are infrequent if not non existent. Benefits package is awful. If you aren’t family, you are disposable and even family gets disposed of from time to time. 

The management and employees are welcoming, and supportive of new employees. Management makes it known they care about their employees and will work to keep them happy. 

They offer decent wages but the typical truck driving lifestyle doesn’t lend itself well to a good work/life balance. 

Typical day is our shift does most of the work, while everyone else slacks off.

I learned that my boss is the most greedy selfish person alive.

Hardest part is constantly being screwed out of what i deserve, but due to greed never getting anything in return for our hard work.

Nothing is enjoyable

This company has too many puppets on strings poor equipment ,office is too heavy with ones that have never done the actual job but can come up with unattainable plans to justify their office jobs. Too much unfair favortism for the favorite ones that dont want to pull their weight 

-Dispatcher was awful.
-Trucks were so gross inside.
-Had to fight to get paid for trip they begged me to do
-Equipment always had something wrong and would not be fixed until it completely broke down

Never had a doubt about papason, taught me so much, just to overstaffed, I was put on call there for time being, and I'm more looking towards full time work, great company to be at. Makes you feel like you take part in company a ton and are very appriciated
