Capital Transport

Capital Transport Employee Review

Poor communication between staff at Brisbane office. Long hours, sometimes 13 hours

Owner Driver (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 6 September 2023

I worked for Capital Transport for nearly four years The first 3 years were great. I loved the job. Then there was a lot of staff turnover,with experienced allocators and drivers leaving and it became a job I hated. I learnt that it is no use complaining about a job or an allocator, because their attitude was that it was always the drivers fault. On two days in a row I was only given 2 hours work When I advised the Fleet Manager, I was told that all I do is complain I've been told that they have lost a lot of customers, so drivers earnings began to decrease. There is no reward for loyalty.I left Capital Transport in June 2023.

Pros

Nil

Cons

Long hours. They're not really concerned with their drivers livelihood.

Worst place to work and don’t earn well to live a life

Owner/Operator (Former Employee) - Rydalmere NSW - 14 October 2023

They have become the worst people to work with from late 2022. Whether the management changed or they changed their policies, god knows what happened to them, they expect you to work 10-12 hours for them and they pay you with very little money. The customers always complains about how expensive they are charging for jobs and ridiculous policies to rip them off. Owner drivers stay away from them, they are liars, looters and not a good place for a small business.

Pros

Best example for a bad company that doesn’t take care of their drivers

Cons

Long hours, less pay, no respect

For starters you are under paid for packages you can have a 500kg item that is paid the same as a 100gram item you get no help from anyone I mean that there pda system are a joke it will give you pick address but will not give you the drop off address there PDA has no maps so you will need your own GPS they never call you when you request a call due to a problem you have to cover all expenses for the first 3 weeks and then you will get paid one weeks

I have found that if you do the work.allocated on your pda you can easily do 10 to 20+jobs a day and your pay will show that good earnings so long you do work .if a problem they will help you eg.low on fuel and your starting out you can get a Coles fuel card. If you need advance just see your supervisor who you met at interview
