Ventures West Transport LP

Within 4 years of being sold to Tli Cho Investment Corporation it went from a smooth running, quick to mobilize operation, that went up against the big guys in the industry.. to a company that can't pay its bills, shut its maintenance department down, and either laid off or chased away the best and longest serving employees it had. Completely mismanaged. Very Sad.

I love to work place management and staff is very friendly only expecting that you are trouble free guy not trouble maker love sounds every where nice to talk nice to walk  nice to yak easily approach to all management safety guy are very supportive and cooperative work with you year around mechanic side little bit screw up if they in good mood listen to and advise other wise just go go next

I have enjoyed working for ventures so far..they have been very helpful and informative.. the best part of this job is knowing, and feeling that ventures have my back..the bad is it's demanding, and long hours..but you get used to that. I am excited to hopefully retain a fulltime position with ventures west.

Was a great place until bought out by tlicho, all down hill from there
- New GM every 2 years current one says mechanics are like wrenches easily replaceable 
- constant empty promises
- Payroll will nickel and dime you
-The only good thing was the service manager but heard he quit 
-Below average pay

It seems the only way to get promoted around there is to quit and then you get rehired with a higher wage, a promotion and a company truck. Meanwhile long term employees again lived through another year with out a wage increase.

This company was very good to work for, they always had lots of work for me when I was on my 2 weeks off from the mine, I really enjoyed hauling fuel to BC when they had all the rain and the railways were washed out

i enjoyed the people i worked with for the most part.
the drivers were great and got along great with them.
as for the office i got along with all but one person in dispatch,he was trying to be intimidating and make my job harder for me.

Current management sinking the company and does not pay any Bills so no safety or equipment gets fixed. Next not to get paid is the lease ops if you are planning to work  for them on ice road chances are you will not get your last check or bonuses

If you want to spend a day looking for a safe functional trailer for free. Plus you like ice cold showers, and to share just 4 toilets amongst around 400 iceroad truckers then you may love the job.
Otherwise I would avoid it.

The company was great to work for, great team, great shop with wash bay but this company no longer exists, they went bankrupt. Toward the end things was bad and we didn't get any notice of the closure.
