Please Read the Whole Review.
Based in Missoula, MT. Driver Manager named B.H. Took it to him self with the Help of Ex Driver Services manager to Change E Log Entries with out driver consents & brake Fed DOT Laws. To fit his needs to move freight. This took place in 2015 for 3 months.
Driver Manger's Asked driver's when they want home time. How ever forget to get them home on the day they need to be there. 2014 to Present.
Driver manager's are unskilled to do there work. "They are ex employees of Jim Palmer". Fact. !
Equipment: Mainly Volvo's. Automatic Trans. 2015 Trucks are ok. All trucks have APU's on them. How ever the 2016 Trucks have Camera's inside of trucks to watch you the driver!
All Co. Trucks are cut back to 400-425 HP. They claim they are wasting fuel. To stop Fuel Waste. They had reduce horse power on the trucks. To require the Driver to use the Cruise Control to drive at 65 MPH. Meaning if you want to drive with your foot on the pedal? You can only drive at 62 MPH. If you need to past anther on the freeway or worst. 2 Lane road You have to set the Cruise Control to 65 MPH & hope the other driver does not speed up. Talk about Unsafe Driving? Decker put all there drivers at risk. This went into affect Feb 2016.
After the passing of Mr. Decker's Mother last year. His whole Trucking Co. Has gone down hill. He has Lost a large amount of Shippers, Miles on avg 600 to 2200 miles per week. They do Not have the Freight they had 4 years ago. Mr. Decker Hired a Financial Adviser, Along with a New CEO. To cut costs and to run his Co. The Co as of 3/1/2016 Is going down the hill pretty fast.
Worst than any other trucking Co out there. Decker Truck Line is Not what it Claims to be, They Lie about there pay package. Its not a new one at all. The Trucks on the foot do 62 MPH, The Trailers are not getting fixed. The Safety Dept. All they talk about ever 3 days now, Is there CSA Scores. How bad it is from Last Monday.
This is a 100 % Forced Dispatched Trucking Co. With People in Missoula who are very Unskilled in Management.
Noticed I didn't even started with the Shop? Bottom Line Do Not waste your Time or Efforts with this Co. Its just a matter of time till he sale's out or close's his Doors. Take a look at the trucks. Whens the last time a Decker Driver passed any one safely. Talk to the driver who been around here for a little while. Do you see the O/O like you use to?
What I can say is the Medical is Great. Home time is how ever long you want. That's all I can say good about the Co. I been driving Big Rigs for 28 Years 5 years with Mickey Mouse Decker! -
