Respect, Fairness and Excellent Compensation

What I like most about working for Slingshot is from the top down, employees are treated with respect. Management does their best to create a team-oriented environment making sure employees are supported each day.

Slingshot focuses on results and hiring good people but also believe that part of the workday is to have a little fun to let off some steam. It is a relaxed atmosphere in what can be a very serious industry. I am very happy working for Slingshot and plan to continue for many years. – Logistics, Milton, ON, Canada

Excellent

A good company to work for with a strong management team. Pay is fair for the work you do. The team is helpful and morale is quite high. The trucks are all lease units so any work that needs to be done on them are just returned to the company. – Coordinator in Calgary, AB, Canada

Worked there 7 years and had a blast!

They treat you well and fair if you do your job. Pay is great and the dispatch team was great. Management treats you well if you work with, not against them. Also the best team of drivers I have ever worked with. Equipment is all new and well maintained. – Truck Driver/Dispatch, Milton, ON, Canada

The staff are great and everyone gets along. If you come to work and work, you will have no issues. Management are great! If you ask questions, they will help you. Pay and work-life balance are fairly good. I would recommend this place of work. – Administrator, Milton, ON, Canada

The best job I’ve ever had!

I have been in the transportation industry for 50 years. 3 years ago, I retired from another company. After a year, I wanted to get back into driving. I found Slingshot and am currently still employed here. I wish I would have found Slingshot 20 years ago, I would have worked her until I retired! – Driver AZ Local, Milton, ON, Canada

5-Stars, PLUS!

Very friendly and welcoming staff and the people in the yard are helpful too! – Operations, Brooklyn, MI, USA

Great Place to Work

When I started, I wasn’t familiar with the software and the management team helped me with additional training. Very open door policy. They state “Open Door” like a lot of companies do, but this company really means it. If you have questions, they are there to help. It’s nice to see a company thrive to see their staff succeed. Good job Slingshot! It’s awesome to see teamwork in a workplace. – Administrator, Milton, ON, Canada
