Review content:
I used to be a dispatcher for comtrans so trust me when i say i know EVERYTHING. The intentions of the company and what they do are great, but the number of drivers cannot handle the amount of clients this company holds, which is why a good number of comtrans drivers are always late. Horrible management, a high amount of drivers are always late when they start their shift in the morning and afternoon but never get disciplined by management, thus dispatchers always have to create excuses for clients when they call (vehicle breakdown, manifest error, etc... But i was always honest, i hate lying- its a sin...) Comtrans literally hires people who never have driven as a job, thus alot of the drivers get lost easily and the learning curve to learn the arizona map system, cities streets, takes months to learn, thus creating another reason why alot of drivers are always late... and the final reason why i give a 1 star rating... I got fired for not attending a meeting that my own manager was late for at 10am and was nowhere to be found. I worked from 5am-2pm, 11:10am came- i had no break- worked for 6 hrs straight and was very hungry so i left on my lunch. (I believe there are labor laws that guarantee me a break after 4 hrs of work but im not sure). Next thing you know, this is called insubordination lmao!... What a Unpleasant company to work for... I worked there for 3 yrs, showed up everyday for work and i missed less than 5 days in a total of 3 yrs which i had vacation hours to cover for. I was the ONLY dispatcher who showed up everyday.... Oh and did i mention this company forces you to take your vacation FTO hours every year if you have not used it. And if fired, you dont get paid for these hours. raises come once a yr and are very cheap, the most i ever got was 60ish cent raise.... And if that wasnt bad enough, the official reason why i got fired was the meeting thing (i know what a bad reason, but i saw this coming because i knew about a real Management-employee relationship affair that at the time was a rumor flying around the company but i was 1 of 3 people who could verify it true... And did higher management try and stop this even though the guy was married and the woman in a committed relationship with kids....no they didnt! They put the blame on me and called it a rumor..., I in fact said nothing of that sort, nor am that type of person to spread rumors or even put that truth out there and i didnt...) so there you go people.... And if anyone doesnt believe me or think im just slamming this company, I am a spiritual person and i try to live my life for god as much as i can, therefore i try my hardest to not sin.... The last eight months of my employment, I kept getting in trouble for the dumbest reasons, would literally pick something very irrelevant to my job and it felt as if they were trying to fire me at anytime in those last eight months for what i knew. I was depressed to go to work, and never looked forward to going to comtrans every morning for those last 8 months....
Pros: Some good drivers, Great Clients- Great Customers
Cons: Bad Management, etc... read on i know everything...
