After working at Vanguard through a temp service it was my turn to get hired in. I showed up for my first day, and they gave me a drug test. No, biggie because I don't do drugs! However, for the first time in my life I failed! I did not understand why. I told them I do not do drugs. There was something wrong with their test. They would not listen. I left there went to a medical center, and took a piss test. I completely passed it! I do not do drugs. My test was administered openly in front of everyone, a room full of people. I was publicly shamed by people in the room when I said, I didn't do drugs! They tried to tell me it must have been someone I was around. Not a good place!

Very professional place. Their trailers are very good quality. Our company buys several trailers through them and I've never had a problem pulling one of their trailers

Laurie H is an angel from heaven, super polite even though I was rude on the phone. She helped me with my issue and was amazing. The company itself has some flaws because not all warehouses have the same policies. Trying to get ahold of people sometimes is like pulling teeth.

If I could give 0 stars I would. They don't call their employees emergency contacts when the employee gets injured. They also tell their employees if they leave work early or go to the hospital after the employee gets a head injury that the employee will be fired. Worst place in the world to work for. I'm absolutely disgusted with their behavior and I plan to sue them. Hope they get shut down and never open again. DO NOT WORK HERE, THEY ARE CROOK'S! I've talked to a lawyer about everything and I was told to sue. I've turned them into OSHA already.

Bought a 2020 reefer trailer and boy what a nightmare. There was foam leaking out of the floor in between the crossmembers and the walls. Both top corners on the inside are coming apart. Had it at a vanguard dealer (Central Trailer in Altoona, IA) four times for repairs. The trailer is only two months old and the corners are separating again letting moisture into the walls and insulation. One of the brackets holding the side skirts already broke off. Quality control and the actual quality of these trailers is very questionable. I’m being bounced between the dealer and vanguard on the phone while they’re trying to find a resolution. So I’m currently pulling a new trailer around with a hole in the corner. Vanguard wants to try and fix it again for the fifth time. At this point I’m done with patch work and repairs. I think vanguard needs to stand behind their product and admit that the trailer has a manufacturers defect and buy this lemon back. I paid for a brand new defect free trailer and I should get a new defect free trailer. Buyers beware, should have spent a little extra and went with utility or Great Dane instead.

You could pick up 10 new trailers at this place and 8 of the 10 would have to go back for rework at the time of pick up before they ever leave the plant ....TERRIBLE QUALITY CONTROL and they have safety certification on them PATHETIC

One of the worst places to work , theres a reason why their ads have been in the paper for years . I came to monticello looking to restart and find a decent job this is literally the worst job . Disrespectful co-workers un organized all around a miserable place to work .

every single time i send a driver there for a trailer that "just got finished", my drivers sit for 2-3+ hours. how can you not get to a trailer, and have my driver hooked to it in under 3 hours, if you have "just finished" said trailer. unbelieveable.

Walls of the trailers are too soft, and the water leaks through the floor. The valve suspension does not sit on the parking breaks. I do not recommend this trailer if you want quality.
