Vitran Express

first let me say that I love working at Vitran express . The company to employee regulations are fair .I do agree with the policy of seniority. after all when you work for a company for 30 years you should have priority over someone that just stated .

even though the older guys get priority for overtime I get overtime every week . and I have only been there for 3 months .

the company provides employees with very good benefits , sceduled salary raises and union work conditions .

I do however have a problem with the supervisors , all but one  need to really get some people skills and follow the union rules . yelling and being rude to employees has to stop immediately and upper management should get involved . stop being vindictive and threaten employees with making them hand bomb all day long if you do not agree with what they have to say .

Coworkers ....

for the most part they are great , but as in any company there is always a few bad apples . fortunately management knows about them and they pose no threats . 

overall this is a great place to work for and if your looking for a job this is a great place 

thank you

Working at this company is Greate, I have learned that Loyalty at the company is not acountable for your hard work.
Management pushes employees to do more work wich is okay at any logistics company but when your asked to work more hours then your contract and its not compensated for so working for free is not okay per management doesn't care and doesn't compensate for the exess hours of work to complete the extra work given from management.

Co workers are fun to work with but at the end of the day every one is for them selves. The hardest part of the day is when your manager doesn't help you but tells you you need to  do more when you ask for help. 

The most enjoyable part of the day is when you go home after all the stress that is pushed down from the management down on to your shoulders to cover their work.

Management consistently changed at the top level during my employment causing many disturbances throughout the entire company.

Shift seniority left new people on midnights of afternoons.

Overtime was based on seniority.

Contracts were based on date of hire and actual employee benefits and wages differed solely based on date of hire not years of experience. I.e. anyone hired before X date would receive Y weeks holiday and anyone after that date would be capped at Y - 2 weeks. Those differences in benefits can never be attained by any new employee nor existing employee hired after X date.

Many interoffice politics.

Great pay and benefits fresh out of secondary school. But raises come slow over years to make the standard wage with no advancement beyond that. Not a career choice.

Fear for job security as union contracts come to close.

This is a horrible place to work. Don't waste your time working here if you have a job already don't quit it to come work here. They hire people but don't keep them they let them go just before its time for their probation to be completed. The pay rate is a joke and it will take you 7 years to get to top rate while the senior men get top rate and $500 dollars a month in rsp's. If you get hired on you will never get that rsp money it's only for senior dockmen. Management is two faced and so are the employees that you'll work with they constantly backstab each other. The union is a joke they can't do anything for you management runs rough shot over everything that goes on there. I ended up quitting vitran and it was the best decision I ever made I feel alot better and my health is much better overall.

Fairly busy all year round.  I worked with quite few great people.  The pay was pretty on par with what AZ drivers are getting.  I think the only thing  that could be better, is to take drivers more seriously when it comes to having common equipment defects repaired when reported by the drivers.  I found that if they were hard up for trailers, they'd just send out a trailer that needed to be repaired.  They need better general repair done quicker so they don't run into this problem as well as tire repair while out on the local roads and highways.

Vitran is run like a circus 

typical day at work Is I get my bills in the morning and haul out two loads sometimes three loads of delivery's and then a load of pick ups then I call it a day at arond 4:00- 6:00 pm and go home 

what have I learned city p&d is the same for every company

management is a joke

co-workers well that's all they are is co-workers I try not to make that aspect of my work personal 

the hardest part of the job is dealing with dispatch were at there mercy 

the most enjoyable part of the job is knowing im there to make money and to me that's all that matters is that I work hard so I can pay my bills its the way of life

Remember when you were in high school, with all the petty dramas, gossip and backstabbing?  Vitran has successfully recreated that environment.

Are you the hardest worker?  The most productive?  It doesn't matter!  Unless you're one of the 'cool kids' (complete with the 'smoker's corner'), you're disposable.  

Want to do something about it?  Too bad.  Upper management is full of cliche catch phrases, but no real help -- just like your high school principal!

Remember, at Vitran, it's not what you know, or what you do - it's who you've managed to suck up to that ensures your job security.

Management cuts employees and gives more work to remaining employees.  Keep piling work on & only 2% raise per year (if you are lucky).
Poor office management, no accountability for those who are not doing their job.
Drug abuse in the office is overlooked. 
They expect high numbers from you & only too happy to point out errors, we are human... errors happen.
No clear direction from management. 
I would avoid this company like the plague.

this company has changed management repeatedly over the years and once again most recently...there is a strong level of unprofessionalism and a lack of job security between employees and their new management. AVOID this company and its drama behind the scenes...they will undercut you and stab you in the back.
