Trappers Transport Ltd

Typical day is reviewing the previous evenings occurrences and updating the system so the planners can match equipment to loads and making sure the drivers are on time and they have all the correct information and understand it.  I learned how to deal with difficult people and continuous improvement. My manager held workshops to train staff on this and it was very fun with lunch and games designed to use the tools he teaches us.  The management is good,  my manager responds timely to my questions, explains himself and asks me a few times a day if I need any help. I get feedback and when it's something I made a mistake on or overlooked, he takes the time to show me and actually seems like he cares about my development. The culture here is inclusive, we have a lot of fun with events, and team building. Generally everyone will help when someone needs it be it a coworker or manager.  The hardest part of the job is the trucks when they go down, it takes forever to fix them as there are no parts at the truck dealerships so we have to recover the loads. The thing I like most about the job I feel like I have accomplished something every day that is meaningful to the results  of the company. I know this because it's the first place I have worked where my manager  will show me the results of the division I work for and explain the contributions I make and where it affects the results. 

I was   motivated and inspired going to  work everyday considering  the supportive people who gave me proper training  on my daily tasks. Because of their kind gestures, being helpful and being professional, I was able   to adapt  myself easily  and learn new things about my job, though it was short stayed , but  still it was so meaningful, fruitful and rewarding for me to be part of one of the prestigious  companies in trucking industry. The management, officers and staff  including the owners were very nice .  I appreciated  the respect that they gave me and also the way they value of my dedication and  my hard work  in hitting deadlines  especially  during  month ends .    Truly, I enjoyed the   working environment with friendly and harmonious relationship  among team members and to the  entire Company.  It was a fulfilling career to me.  

I’m based on the Westcoast & ran strictly in the container division. Preloaded waiting in the Delta yard, majority of the time str8 shot to wpg, maybe a quick cross dock drop but Never had to deliver. Once in wpg actually drop & pin! Then 100% of the time Str8 shot West!, Drop it in the yard for city division. Pay is on the low end but Brand New Pete’s., full brand new shop in wpg for repairs, dispatch is typical dispatch but friendly. I was pulling a 2.5days east, 2.5 home, 2.5 off. F#@;ng Win/Win. Highly recommended!, Don’t let a princess rookie tell u otherwise. 
Best Company I’ve ever worked for 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. Underplayed. Cheque always short. No organization.  Always rushed. No parts that are needed in stock. High mechanic turn over rate. Keep bad mechanic employed and let's good ones leave.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Service department has no supervision. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Your just a number. Management thinks that everyone can be replaced.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No one works with you. Everyone working against you.

I worked as a truck driver for Trappers for 9 month , left them only because moved from Manitoba.
You can choose and switch between fleets (MB-BC or Canada - USA)
They pay everything - waiting, pu and drops, vacation, holidays...
I did not get my new truck but now almost all trucks are brand new.
No waiting for container fleet (MB-BC) 
Some waiting time USA fleet but they will pay for it
Dedicated truck, new office and huge parking lot
Company drivers just get preloaded trailers and drop loaded at the yard
Truck wash, scale ( I did't know it) and Fuel at the yard
Almost everyone there is a nice person
If they pay more...but there is average salary for Winnipeg

A job that is challenging.  A workplace that believes in the employees to help them get to where they want be in the company.  The most enjoyable part of my job the learning.  Every day you are learning something new. Workplace culture is of a team that stands behind you and has your back. VP of Operations that takes time to listen to your concerns and makes no judgement.  He consistently encourages you to be all the best you can be and will help you get to any position in the company.

Anybody who has working in the trucking industry knows it comes with it challenges and days can sometimes be long. It is a fast paced environment which makes the days go by quick. Friendly staff and the support you receive can make or break a company. Trappers is fortunate to have both. Here we can laugh with management and joke around, but when we need to be serious we are. I believe this will play a big role in the positive growth of Trappers. I look forward to growing with the company and being a part of their success.
