Pros

predictable schedule, routes stay the same. Nice trucks, not a 10 year old truck with a million miles on it, in the fleet. They take care of their equipment. They deliver their own product to their own stores, no third party contract here (yet) . Vacations can be split up, we didn't have to take an entire week off when we only needed a couple days off.

Cons

PAY, a monthly salary for a truck driver is rediculous, most salaries are based on a 40 hour a week job, and we all know drivers work in excess of 50-70 hours a week. Management won't hear out complaints, it's the old see no evil hear no evil at this place.

Pros

You get to meet great people along the way. POS system is a great tool.

Cons

Fastenal does not do performance reviews. Trying to get a raise is near impossible. When you ask for a raise they upper management says that you need to sell more..... Fastenal seems like it's trying to weed out there tenure employees and higher college grads with no experience and little pay to replace seasoned personnel.
