CANADA DRAYAGE INC

Zero organization, training does not exist for company specific functions. Imaginary employee hiarchy, hostile and toxic office environment, frequent outbursts, crying, profane behaviour, yes actual temper tantrums. Environment non conducive to work being accomplished. Dirty, broken office facilities (office and restroom deplorable) and equipment . No acceptable filing or office sharing systems, zero interoffice  collaboration, extreme disorganization, filing system in existence a detriment not a help. Office cannot keep pace with the times and work as a result. Poor work ethic by some, understaffed. Toxicicity is being passed from one employee to others and is intolerable. 
Job was simple when process can be learned and accomplished but impossible in the environment. 
So disappointed to leave but left with no choice. All the best to those left tolerating. Many wonderful employees spoiled by a few unproductive and hostile employees.

Typical day at work: Show up when you feel like it, talk back to the immediate supervisor with no repercussions. "Club Med" atmosphere. A lot of gossiping little work from some employees, and then complaining that they did not have enough time to meet their deadlines.

What I learned: I did learn quite a bit from the longest lasting employee there. She taught me how they worked, and I continued her way of doing things while at CDI

Management: Immediate supervisor was alright. He helped out when asked, but in his mind was always right. Upper management - my mother said that if I have nothing nice to say to keep my mouth shut. 

Workplace culture - Club Med, and not in a good way

Hardest part of the job - showing up each and every morning.

Most Enjoyable part of the job - leaving the company

There's absolutely no room for advancement unless someone dies or gets fired. The quality of work decreases while the volume of work increases causing lots of unnecessary stress.No communication within company, everything is discussed behind closed doors and only managements opinions/thoughts count. dispatch team is great, and drivers are great. Only upside is they are constantly understaffed so you can show up when you want and do what you want since they cant afford to fire anyone!

For my experience that is  worse place for work as a owner operator specifically new guy's , they have union in this company so senior guy's have work 7 a days week and junior luckly get work one or 2  days week depends on volume,  some time sitting home for month .  Dispatch not organized, no one listening so if some one interested go with cdi Vancouver and work for them do your home work first. 

The company management has far distance with their employees, They treat drivers like nothing as animals also have their rights. No appreciations at all, all the time management is trying fear the drivers, they talk about punishments. Management is getting a handful amount from their clients but paying nothing to drivers.

This was a good place to work while it lasted, and provided fair pay for the work that we did, which was probably more relaxed than many other dispatch jobs. Unfortunately, due to "restructuring", corporate decided to lay off all our staff based in Edmonton.

the job by itself was great , good benefit & salary to start but lots of difficulty to work with unstable management {lots of manager came and left}  .  no chance of advancement within the company. Company switch to owners Operator instead of company driver. What a shame , it had lots of potential.

So far Bad experience, no job security any time you can fired or ban from cp.  No training  . Totally unprofessional.  Unprofessional dispatch.  You are not  seeing any one  just email and work.  No schedule kind of on call  , as onwer operator you make like driver.  Cheap rates. I don't recomend you to work there.

If you own a truck and need work for it, give it a try. If you need a job as a driver, look elsewhere. No Teamster benefits unless you work for a contractor who supports membership.

Decent company to work in the city. Downside they only hire owner operators . so if you work with owner operator and they hold your first month of pay and once you decide to quit your money is gone. It happened with lots of drivers I know personally and they won’t do anything about it .
