Cascade Carriers L.P.

Worked for Cascade Carriers in Calgary, they were an awesome company and I would definitely go back if that's where life took me. Shop foreman was outstanding. Support for mechanics was good and suggestions for safety improvements to a relatively old facility and to work isolation procedures (lock out tag out) were taken into consideration by management, although unfortunately not all of them were implemented. Most drivers and owner operators were professional and easy to talk to.

I left solely because I was offered a higher paying position that would expand the repertoire of equipment that I had worked on. I have nothing bad to say about my work experience here and they would be among the first I would contact if I decided to take my career in a different direction.

What is the best part of working at the company?
All work isn't hard with a little training. All the management are great and even the service manager is so friendly I couldn't believe it. I was laid off from slow work. Great place to work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Installing new blowers on new trucks

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Do your work with no management bothering you. Easy work.  Staff and mechanics all help each other. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Trailer work to some light duty work on trucks. Some safeties on either equipment

Working there you have to get use to everyone from safety to hr trying to run the shop. The communication from management and there other shop in Calgary is almost non existent until something goes wrong or need to be done yesterday. As for the work if your working on the trucks your basically a glorified lube tech. Any work that takes more then a few hours would be outsourced so you can’t get proper experience. The people on the floor and the foreman are great to work with but it doesn’t make up for the management 

Management sucks, you will be looked after only if they like you. Company policy we dont do buttering within the organization, but you will be left out if not. You have no value whatsoever in the company. Work schedule will turn your work-life balance upside down. You will be always wrong only management is right. No support only negligence. Poor communication between office staff and management. Not a great place to work will promise something and deliver something they wanted too...

Its a maintenance shop with a heavy focus on trailers and minor truck repairs. There is always something one the go and you will be kept busy. There was a change in management 2 years ago. Was a good company then and still is today. Owned by a larger company (Mullen Group) so job security is nothing to worry about if you are not shy of work. I have worked in both branches and the atmosphere is very friendly with no drama.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
All drivers are great people with open ideas

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The only stress is what you make

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is as every company in product delivery, drive and receive a cheque 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every day can be interesting if you’re working

What is the best part of working at the company?
Drivers union, management tries to work with you best they can.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Never knowing what the day will bring. Dispatch always changes, sometimes 2 or three times in an hour.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Can be stressful at times, but overall positive.

Good job but because it’s seasonal, there are very slow times involved. Unfortunately 2-3 days a week for 3 months at a time. Otherwise the people are great and they treat you good. I unfortunately could not survive through those slow times. Had to move on. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
You can be hometime most of the time if you want.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not enough loads for everyone. You work 2-3 in a week not even making 40hours a week.

Would really like to have my position back, if possible.

I made a bad decision that will never happen again.

I really enjoyed working for Cascade.
Thank-you
