Watsontown Trucking Company

I been here a year. I have not had a issue yet. Yes there's cameras but eventually every trucking company will have them. The hourly pay is the top benefit. Same pay rate for everything, breakdowns, loading/unloading. I don't get paid a lower hourly rate when in the shop, just may not get 14 hours paid for. I believe it's around 8 or 10 hours. Yes some trucks may be older but your hourly pay, not chasing miles, and in my experience it gets fixed or I don't drive whether its the truck or trailer doesnt matter. It's my CDL not theirs and any issues I've had, have got taken care of.

Good place to work
And amazing staff members!
Newer trucks, clean, day cab, sleepers too. The maintenance crew here are the best around too! I've been in some sticky situations while driving out west. Like my a/c went out on me and they paid to have the whole thing replaced. All the while I was cozy in a hotel in Salt Lake city for over a week. Getting paid good money each day for layover pay! This is by far the very best company that I have ever driven for! The freight is almost always under 20k in weight and no touch too! I didn't like the idea of automatic at first. Hated it to be honest.now tho lol. It is just another day on the road now. So if you truly want the best driving experience possible? Get yourself over to Milton PA and change your life for the better!

They treated my husband awful and now they are harassing him at his new workplace. Dispatch is really awful towards drivers especially the ones in Dublin. I would not recommend anyone work for this awful company. They are not driver friendly.

Careless driver in Tampa. Seems to be empty since pony axle is lifted but driving over the speed limit on Hillsborougj rs ld in tampa truck number 1218. Shifting lanes back n forth last minjte withcnot signal. Aggressive driver. Wondering whats yout accident and complaint rates. SMH. I KNOW WHY you dont place one of those "hows my driving" or gps device on your trucks. These knockle heads think they own the road!

Absolutely wonderful
place to work.
I’ve Been here 9 months now.
I have Zero complaints.
Highly recommended.

Worst-case is trucks used 2014 with 923678 miles on them keep breaking down, no shop pay for Down time, says hour rate, as flatbed side 31.50 hour contract signed. But you wo, nt get that at all. 9.68 an hr. Claims they don't have funds too pay drivers, all trap loads, mud, hole in wall stops too pick loads, AL loads are out and back. Inside carmer watching driver 24/7. Even though they claim there not. O yeah dispatched says they can and will keep eye on you 24/7. They used an app. Too track you hacked in too your cellphone account look threw your phone control your messages see who who u are talking to or about.if I can rated this company I would give them half star. Highest turnaround on drivers!

My feonce works here. The bosses seem to really care about their employees and their employees lives. When we had covid his one boss texted me and said if we need anything just let him know. Not alot of places do that. They even have a oven in their break room. Something I've never seen at any job before. Very flexible with making up hours and with overtime which helps a lot. Every now and then they will have food for the employees like actual hot food not just sandwiches and chips and they have free hydrating popsicles their employees can get at any time. All around nice place so far as I've seen when I would visit to have lunch with my feonce and based on what he tells me

Nothing to tell, pulled in picked a driver up and left. No issues, parking lot is in great shape. Other drivers in the lot were courteous and friendly.

Love working here. I do part time only and feel like I’m one of the family members. Relaxing atmosphere good equipment and lots of work

Most of the drivers go above and beyond to help us out. Especially Tom and Fred. Great guys

Company gave me an opportunity at a down point in my life. I worked, received great pay and equipment was always top-notch for myself. Everyone has an opinion, but try going at things with the knowledge of, but no expectation, that worked out great in my opinion. You hear things about this and that, it might not be the same for you. I had an accident a couple years back (non work related) and was in the hospital for 1.5 months, I had a few people that I call friends and family not show up but the owner Steve and the current Safety Director Brandon came and visited. It brought tears to my eyes (waking up and seeing them two standing there), mainly because its a big and growing company and even with that, I got to see the people who keep it running and not just the logo. Super dope place to work, there is more to this story but I'll spare you! I'll always remember this experience!
P. S.
I applied to this place like 4x before they ever interviewed me.

Place sucks bathrooms seem to always be broken. Hours are hit or miss only a few of the staff are greatable the others have personality of a piece of sandpaper

Rude drivers… drivers this company hire are so rude.

Drivers from this company have no etiquette, no driver courtesy. Where do they find all these rude drivers…

Bad driver! Hit my mirror and didn't care. He blamed it on me. New breed of driver: I back into your mirror, it's your fault for sitting still. Why didn't you move? It's a crazy world and their drivers fit right in!

If I could I would rate this company less but 1 star is the minimum.

I had an encounter with a driver who lacked professionalism, courtesy and safety on the road. So I called to report the issue I had with them. When the phone was answered the first gentleman introduced himself by name but nothing more and I asked who he recommended I spoke to about my issue. He directed me to safety.

I then was connected to someone else who answered his like with "HELLO" and nothing more. I was thrown off as I thought I was calling a professional company not some backwoods driver guy. I then even explained after getting the guys name, "Dave" about his lack of professionalism and the issue with the driver. I didn't feel Dave cares about my comments so I called back and spoke to someone else who also said outright they didn't care. This tells me this is not a professional company, and I have decided I will never work with them in the future.

No really interested in cameras on me all day. When will trucking companies provide at least 4 weeks vacation for working as hard as we do.

Unprofessional driver pulling trailer 7272 thinks they own the road! Maybe retraining or a stern talking to will get it thru their head?

I worked for watsontown trucking doing local they have camera in there trucks they lie say they will pay for driving other drivers to hotel but they lie never pay you then u work for them say in orientation they don't check camera another lie I worked for them shuttle loads I asked for a hour a jockey driver about job moving trailers etc since I was doing there job to.find out this company docks my pay a hour they saw on camera I got out of truck liers then I took off one day from work sick and was told buck.up lie nope not safety to.me.so I quit

Absolutely best company I have ever work for. They treat employees like family, you are not a number or lowlife servant you are a human being. I could go on for hours about how good they are, I will try to sum it up quickly
They care about their employees and dont give empty promises when i started working for them the company picnic was 4 or 5 weeks from when I started not only was invited to go but my family members also were included at no cost to me. As I was walking thru our pavilion at the picnic and the CEO and owner grabbed my arm and said " Hi, Tom how are things going? You having any issues? I just wanted to welcome you to WTC and let you know I have an open door policy, if you have an issue and it cant be solved by people in chain above you then come see me. WE will resolve it immediately "
I have never met owner of any company I have worked for let along have one seek me out knowing my name to say those words to me. Only way I am leaving WTC is feet first with a toe tag and I will probably be kicking and screaming to let me get back to work. If you are looking for a job I highly recommend submitting application. Absolutely best job I have ever had.
