Not bad place to work, something strange with Baltimore HR

Class a truck driver

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Liked the hours, liked the flexibility and the local work

Cons

Interoffice conflicts, was applying to work back there again, was sent for a physical -more compliance numbers on cpap were good for 30 days almost for 90.. found out the place where I was going for my physical looked more at 90 day compliance so I had to withdraw my application for a week to get my 90 compliance up to speed.. went back later to apply after I had my 90 day compliance good to go... no one would talk to me to the point where I was getting hung up on... when I finally did get someone found out I had been blacklisted for refusing a physical... tried to explain that I hadn't refused but had to withdraw to get my 90 day compliance..dud not care one bit..so before you apply make sure you do not withdraw an application based on the physical because it will be looked at as if you refused the physical..

Toxic

Business Outlook

Pros

The people who work there are great to talk to, both in and out of the office

Cons

This place is toxic. Management doesn’t listen to their employees. They put way too much on everyone’s plate and when someone speaks out, their response is “stop complaining.”
