Pros

the company provides free health insurance. there is plenty of overtime pay. it is a union job, meaning good job security and able to appeal write ups.

Cons

you work long hours, up to 14 per shift. seniority bidding for positions so little choice of what you do for the first few years. poor equipment, most are kept barely running by an overworked garage department

Holland Response

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We are constantly looking for ways to improve and take all feedback into consideration! I am glad to hear that you were happy with the company-paid health insurance and enjoyed your job security. That’s one of the things that sets Holland apart from other LTL carriers in the region. The lack of investment in the fleet during the recession has caused a “bubble” of older equipment in both the tractor and trailer fleets. There is a 5-year plan to reinvest in equipment. Through that plan there will be 1,500 tractors acquired between 2017–2020 and 3,100 trailers during the same time frame. This will enable us to replace older equipment. Eventually, we will be on the other side of the bubble and the improved fleet will reflect the investment.
