Choice Reefer Systems

At CRS, they not only provide safe and excellent service to their customers but they are great at taking care of their employees. The goal for the management is to keep their employees happy at work as well 
at home. The dispatch will listen to your request and accommodate your request, if possible. The Safety Manager will not hesitate to provide you with the proper equipment and is their to assist when things break.  The company's  atmosphere makes it an enjoyable place to work.. Most employees truly care and the drivers are excellent. Everyone does their best to see this company succeed. The family atmosphere is great and close knit. As a whole working here was pretty laid back and relaxed. This is a great place to work.  

this company provides good equipment, but your work week starts Friday or Saturday, so you never have a weekend off, pay structure can always be better,  average wage is between 45-50 cents a mile, then bonus.. these guys are about 4-6 cents below average, benefits start on day one which is good.. 

Dispatch expects you to eat, shower and sleep in your 8 hours sleeper birth time, and expects you to be on the road as soon as your 8 hours sleeper birth is up, 

also safety and management expect you to go into sleeper birth when unloading at customers if its going to take longer than 2 hours to unload

trucks are cut back to 99.6 km per hour

Loved working at David Brown Transport.  Loved going down East but could not get benefits because I was hired on by CRS even after I was told in orientation that there were benefits and for the longest time their website stated driver benefits were available and only David Brown has benefits.  Management's attitude was poor towards the drivers.  Secure yard was not secure enough to keep someone from stealing my brand new GPS.

A typical day at CRS involves dispatching up to 15 or so drivers. Currently I average an 8:30 AM to 11 PM day. We are five in a small office and it gets very loud and busy. Overall it is not a bad experience but I would like to try something new and make a better salary doing it.

WOULD  expect higher and unachievable delivery times to be completed .
would have you sit at clients loc. for hours on end waiting for off load or reload while placing self in sleeper berth.
deliver appointment times in the middle of the night .
wages were the worse 44 cents mi. to start with no increase after probation period.

Policy there is like suggestions or guidelines that can be bent warped or completely broken depending on who it favors.
No matter how hard you work or how much extra effort you put in...remember you are always at the bottom of that toilet be prepared 

Family atmosphere, good home time, I am not a number, they know my name. I was on scheduled weekly runs to West. the dispatch rotates the after hours on call, so i get to work with same people. shop also has on call which is good.

CRS is not a bad place to work. The drivers and mechanics are nice and they are all hard workers. You are treated like family there, which made it a nice place to work. The wages, however, were not high enough for one person to live on.

The company is enjoyable to be part of. Most employees truly care and the drivers are excellent. Everyone does their best to see this company succeed. The family atmosphere is great and close knit.

The company ships frozen foods and as such it is a cold dock. The work load is not bad and pay is decent but the hours have dropped dramatically since I started
