Tri-Line Carriers

The company is a Alberta placed company and is a PIC member. Trucks and trailer are mostly in a good shape and get every 60 days inspected. Save operating is a  important part of the job. If you get a ticket, they fight for you but that doesn’t mean that you can speed. They have some really good stuff but also some people who don’t know what they are doing. Some drivers care about the equipment, others don’t, so sometimes you get  equipment in a bad shape when you have to change trailer, but if you can keep your trailer and tell them when something is wrong with it, you get it fixed as soon possible. Respect is a good thing in this company and I’ve never heard a bad word. The pay is fair and you have benefits. Overall the best company I worked for. 

Listen, I am a part of the management team so feel free to take what I say with a grain of salt.  I know there are issues but the issues are no different that you find in many companies within the trucking industry. One thing I can say is the people that work here care about the work they are doing, they care about solving any problems that arise using a collaborative approach.  We are flexible with our driving fleet and we have plenty of work to go around.  At the end of the day we want to be able to get our drivers home safe and service our customers to the best of our abilities.

Tri-Line Carriers treats its employees and Drivers like Family. The office is very welcoming, and professional. The employees are very friendly and helpful. 
Tri-Lines pay structure is very competitive. There is a great deal of importance put on family time and everyone is encouraged to take vacations when they need to.  
Management is very involved and helpful in all areas of the business. 
The business has 4 divisions which allows for the company to operate successfully even when one of the business units is slower. Drivers are encouraged to change divisions if they wish. 
Great company to work for!

Triline is a wonderful place to work if you are willing to work. They have a great attitude about dispatch and driver/owner in the business. I have no problem getting home when I let them know when, they have helped me when I need it (repairs), also I feel that the miles are there if you want them and I don’t think I’ve sat more than twice in 18 months but I got something for that.
Everyone wants more but to be happy with your job is a start as we spend most of our time at work.

Tri-Line carriers is an over all good place to work. Easy e-logs, you are home every night and weekends, depending on the division.  Equipment programing is left to be desired.  Most are automatic transmission.  Some management are easy to get along with. Pleasant to deal with. Hard to contact when needed. Supportive in many areas. No need to go above and beyond with Tri-Line.  Waste division is unionized.  Teamsters are a great union. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
drivers and office staff, aside from management. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The managers are all in ego matches with each other talk poorly of their own staff to everyone. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is toxic. What culture? 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and being micro-managed for everything.

As a 26 year veteran of the industry I would not recommend anyone of sound mind , with either minimal or modest experience in trucking to give Tri Line Carriers even the smallest inkling of consideration as an employer .  The hiring process is exhausting and orientation in Calgary is a complete waste of a week . I quit before ever leaving Calgary to return to Winnipeg ….. but was encouraged by management in Winnipeg to rethink my decision.  Big big mistake . 

I was a long haul owner operator on the flatbed division for almost exactly 5 years. I purchased my truck through Tri-line and the the month of the last payment to pay it off the engine was done. That's why I left. While I was there I was treated very well they even went above and beyond during the time when the engine went out the first time while still under warranty. They paid me for the 2 weeks I was down. I'll leave it at that.

Drove truck never a problem  co workers were great office staff and service were wonderful all worked together when I left was the guys were helping so much over the death of my mom and father in law figured it was unfair but company is great would like to go back open to any position  you have a great day

I do not recommend working for this company as my son became ill and I was forced to stay home to care for my family and the company did not hold my position. They say they are all about family and I found out different when my family was in need and they replaced me while I was off work and did not have a position for me to return too.
