Pros
Over all great company to work for. I started out as a P&D driver in 2001. In the summer of 2015 they allowed me to switch to Part Time. The pay is fair, the Medical Benefits are not as good as they once were. The retirement plan is outstanding. The best part of this company is the ownership. This family run company genuinely cares about there employees over all well being. They invest for the future in tech,equipment, and new facilities. Duie Latta(owner) is heavily involved in the running of the 401k plan. He is always looking to add new,low cost funds to the plan to save employees money.(My wifes 403b plan should take a lesson,think her employer must get kickbacks for using the most costly funds). The P&D work is not easy, but management works with you. I have never been told to try and make a delivery that I felt is unsafe or was beyond my means. They have finally invested in some electric walk behind jacks which I believe should cut down on injuries. Saftey is always stressed at my job.(Vests,saftey shoes,gloves,ect...) Overall I would reccomend working for A Duie Pyle. I started here 17 years ago thinking this would be a temporary job. A good job can change your mind .
Cons
I have only 1 issue with the Carteret,NJ terminal. They try to put equipment (Trailers) that are to large for certain areas. I run Brooklyn and Staten Island. They try to put as much freight onto a 45' trailer when some places can barely fit a 32' trailer. If the delivery calls for a straight truck, they put it on a 32' trailer. Not fun.
