Ploger Transportation

The same day I lost my brother the following day I was fired for being late on deliveries, forgetting to know I was traumatized. I try to save their equipment and avoid any distractions that would make me to have accidents’ no one sympathize with me instead I was fired the next day. The passing of my brother and sacking me the same day really traumatized me more, this was a company I really loved and was planning staying Longer but everything happens for a reason.

I have worked for Ploger Transportation for a very long time since they have had 5 trucks. Since then, they have continually grown and become one of the BEST trucking companies out there. The owners are awesome and care about their employees, just like they are family. Everyone that works in the office is wonderful and treat you like a person, not a number. Their equipment is top notch. I highly recommend Ploger Transportation!

Great carrier to work for. Local in Ohio. Driver satisfaction is a top priority. They provide a great driver lounge, showers, laundry services and shop.

They care about their drivers, well-kept fleet, and overall very pleasant experience.

They sound good, act good but I know a few truckers that got fired without reason! Beware is all I have to say!

Very friendly people here they really have there stuff together for a trucking company they are setting the bar high

You will not find a better Trucking Company! My husband and I drive team for Ploger and they have treated us as part of their family from day one. From equipment to the shop to the office....top notch!

I worked at this company for a brief time, then life took me in a different direction. They hired me with little experience and trained me the right way to do things. They have top notch trainers that made sure I was comfortable with what I learned before moving on. My experience was very positive with this company. Newer equipment and very good maintenance. Friendly staff and good pay. I would recommend them to anyone looking to drive truck.

Met with Chris their recruiter today. I've been looking around shopping companies as a driver. The more we talked and then meeting the maintenance manager in the shop, I realized my interest level was increasing steadily. Prior to driving I was outside sales for 25 years, so you could say I've had some solid exposure to a lot of different people. Chris didn't sugarcoat anything and gave me the bottom line on each topic I presented, of which I really appreciated. Ploger is now my top of the list consideration. During the tour of the facility I was super impressed with Driver support via the gym, private showers, a Driver lounge... All of which had the quality and cleanliness of a private estate. Thank you Chris for your time and honest answers. I'll be giving you a call soon.

Very friendly and accommodating. They actually care about thier drivers. Very easy onboarding process. Hopefully I've found my long term home, it's looking very good so far. Highly recommend giving this outfit a view!!!!

I’m a 9 year veteran OTR, owned a truck and authority for years before starting there. Drove at Ploger 9 months. I really enjoyed my time with them, kind of wish I just drove for this family my whole career. The equipment and their Mechanic Shop were awesome, never lost a day driving due to equipment. Impressive that they kept up with me, I tend to run like a maniac and dispatching was best I ever dealt with. Safety is big with these folks so be okay with driving the speed limit, stopping at all stop signs, don’t tailgate, etc. I made great money for just pulling dry vans, but it would help to know what you’re doing and work the logs efficiently to maximize your effectiveness. They never dropped the ball, always kept me rolling and very much left me alone to get the job done. Lots of drop and hook, managers were friendly, owners really invest in their company, very professional and fair place to work. I left Ploger to drive local home every night after many years over the road. Also, they would be a great place to start out from driving school, you would never have to work anywhere else, I would know because I have done almost everything in trucking there is to do. Grass not any greener somewhere else, be happy if they hire you.

You’re not just a number to them. They treat you fairly and keep you running. They maintain their equipment in house and regularly. Equipment is nice.

Believe it or not they put so much work in time into maintaining those trucks you have a problem you reported it's fixed in a couple hours if you're at the shop but that's not what's impressive the Loyalty and the dedication they debolt to their employees is unlike any other company I've ever seen I highly recommend if you value your family time and how good the equipment you're in everyday is maintained then look no more ploeger transportation in Norwalk Ohio is where you want to be I promise you you will not regret leaving the rest and going and joining the best

What is the best part of working at the company? They treat you good and the pay is top notch What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Not much really , mainly 34 hour reset and back out making money What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Pretty laid back and relaxing

Very friendly people to work with. They are more like family to work with. They have Christmas get together at terminal and have Santa there for the kids.

Great company, awesome people from the owners to dispatch to maintenance to the drivers. Can't complain about brand new equipment. When they say you're like family they mean it. Planning on retiring here.

I loved working for Ploger. Everyone in the office is very nice and always willing to help out. If it weren't for a higher pay I would stay with Ploger for as long as possible. They are very understanding and do try to give as many hours as possible throughout the local drivers. They keep up very well on the trucks and trailers. You get treated like a person, not a number.

I've been at Ploger for a little over 4yrs, I love it here. I know everyone has their own experiences, but mine has been great. They are truly like my second family, and that's how they treat you.

Trucks& Trailers was kept in very good shape. Dispatchers was nice. Got too see a lot of different states. Trucks were not spec for over the road. Did not have enough power too pull an empty trailer up hill with out loosing 15 mph. Loaded too gross didn't think I was going too make it too the top of the hill. 385 horse do not get it .I would have stayed if trucks were 500 + horse is over the road.

Overall an okay company to work for. My biggest gripe is the long overtime hours with no overtime pay over forty for hourly drivers. Dispatch sends you on 650 mile round "local" trips that pay more for OTR drivers than you make as an hourly driver. You have weekends and major holidays off. Good well maintained equipment. Most tractors have "super singles" tires that are a real pain when you need traction especially on snow covered roads. Terminal yard becomes a lake in the rain. and an ice rink in the snow. Sometimes takes awhile to hookup on the ice covered yard. Maintenance could certainly do a much better job of clearing the snow and ice from the trailer row. You are micro managed from the safety department.

You have preplanned loads which you do on your own,what I have learned to work completely on your own,company is well organized,coworkers are all helpfull,hardest part is only having 1 day off,scenery is good
