Booth Transport

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving the company. Management and allocators are completely incompetent, trucks and equipment are not up to scratch and drivers are required to be interstate with trucks that have no working fridge, bunk cooling, and sometimes interior lights. Trailers are often needing repairs to be done before they can be taken on the road, but managers will not schedule in the required time for repairs to get done. Quite easily the worst company that I have ever worked for.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Worried constantly about equipment failure and property damage 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is so poor that there was no end of year/Xmas party because no one wanted to mix with management and would rather have the time at home which is something you don't get enough of. Constantly waiting for loading and unloading and not getting paid correctly. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
17 hours with most being spent waiting to get allocated work or repairs to equipment

at booth transport we wash out food grade tankers and keep company fleet washed and clean.  we work with a lot of chemicals to wash out previous products and to make sure they are hygienically clean for the next product to be transported either interstate or locally. I have learnt a lot since I have been here such has how to run the wash bay with no management, tracking down tankers to see what time they'll be arriving into the depot. getting tankers out on time is one of the hardest things at this job considering if the driver comes on time, how much product is inside, what product is inside, any breakdowns or simply running out of hot water. I enjoy the freedom and trust I have at booth, because they know ill do the job properly all of the time so im very real ide open. management come and goes at the wash bay so its pretty hard to comment on that aspect.

Management in the workshop is appalling 2nd in charge was the best of all


Working for a bad company can be an absolute nightmare. The lack of organization and communication can make every day a struggle. Management often seems clueless or indifferent, leading to poor decision-making and a toxic work environment. The lack of appreciation and recognition for hard work can be demoralizing, and the constant stress and frustration can take a toll on your mental health. Overall, it's a draining experience that leaves you counting down the hours until you can leave.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Generally we all got along worked together as team to achieve results.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Family run company and it seemed everyone was involved in decisions.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment was good,  office staff generally was supported by the workers and got on.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Challenging and rewarding knowing you did everything possible to achieve your days work.

The workers at this company were not used to a woman in the role that I assumed and therefore had little or no respect for me and my authority.  Eventually had to threaten to not pay them before they would take me seriously and do what I required of them.

Overall a good but very challenging role which taught me a lot about working in a predominately male industry.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nice truck allocated to me...one truck one driver

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management and supervisors attitudes 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good on a good day...poor on all other days

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I no longer work there...when work slowed up during Covid my employment was terminated

Early starts, late finishes at times, good co- workers, some parts of the middle management leave a lot to be desired. Coping with todays amount of traffic and the sad state of some roadways and other road users are the hardest part of the job.This company has a fantastic fleet of prime movers and running gear and the maintenance schedule of the fleet is second to none, if there is a fault or problem with anything it is rectified and resolved asap.

Great place to work, fantastic culture, good pay,
Work facility's are great, equipment new and well maintained, staff are dedicated and friendly.
Would recommend to anyone.

Shocking from day 1 . No training , outdated systems. Cost cutting , people that leave are not replaced and someone has to pick up their responsibilities. Work- life balance non existent- on call 24/7 .
Extremely poor management. 
Stay away if you can .

They make you break driving time laws over weight laws maintenance was terrible.  Three trailer lost hubs in one week that i know of..
 Rta should investigate this mob!!!
 Shonky as!!!
