"My experience here has been great! The professional, but, Family like atmosphere makes it a great place to be employed. I’ve been to several different terminals and it seems to be a company wide atmosphere. Tidewater has good working equipment, has a very responsive shop and keeps its drivers in newer Tractors. All in all, I would have to give my time here 5 stars, and look forward to many more years here."
