    well ive have seen other threads like this but are closed

    im still with florilli at the moment rigs even out side.

    they have some servious saftey issues at this company filing dot complaint also as i type this. my pete has electrical problems that they wont fix. last week was on 180 heading into salt lake. truck ended up dieing on me while i was comming down the hill into salt lake. ran dead stick with 79800 pushing me til i got her slowed down enough to hit park city exit.

    they still wouldnt fix it and was complaining about load being ontime. lol they dispatched me from champain il to stockton ca 2148 miles and less the 3 days to do it. thats fine in a 61 mph truck but not with 6 break downs. she died on me on donnor pass as well still hasnt been fixed.

    they do get you to run illegal dodge scales from mo to tx because truck was 82k they didnt want to go back to reload it. thats my doing though could have told them to go to hell.

    yah they will block your card,was supost to get here take 2 days off see doc for new script then take truck to davenport. tried reloading me back to davenport.told them have appt must see dock then can go. they shut down pay side and fuel side of card. im still owed about 6 k miles.

    previous employer was covenant was there 4 years but wanted a local run but got sick of that so back to otr. have 10 years exp 1 mill safe miles closest thing to a ticket is a tail light and one scale violation

    i didnt know about them had 47 trucking companies trying to high me. they were the first to set things up and had not herd anything bad about them. really wish i had done a check on them now.

    been here 3 months now only other trucking job have had for less was central refrigeration. lol that was when swift took over dick simon and turned it into central. the take over took place while i was in orientation. other then that my record is clean

    just made a mistake picking florilli

    I was up @ the truk stop one nite in kittery,maine

    Got pulled into the chickencoup

    Dot and tow trucks everywhere

    They towed 4 western express and 1 dude from rhode island

    Dude said his company required him too work on duty 17hrs. A day

    They all got shutdown for logg violation outta hrs. And putt outtaa service

    Come too find out later the reason why Mdot is so hard on western

    One of they drivers hit a toll booth and killed a main state trooper

    So I can see the reasoning

    I don't runn illegal never have never will and my company wont let me so..

    Anyway have you looked around @ the good bad threads here on ttr

    You can check any companies standing somehow thru a govt website

    Can't tell you how 2 do it...there is plenty of post here that can tho

    Good luck

    was thinking of snider regional texas but havnt made a desision even though ive been excepted. think ill take a good look at the next company i work for.

    all in all i did get good miles here. ive been against the 70hr rule a solid 10 days strait. normaly burn 50 to 65 hrs a week so miles are not bad.

    Yeah you've been around enuff 2 know the industry an the lil tricks they do

    I don't make the most out here I still do good for the amount of time I work

    So its all what a person is looking for ....if it fitts there situation and the pay

    Isn't what they want maybee the situation doesn't fit there pay

    That is the biggest prollum I have with these line haul companies

    They pay good butt there situation ain't too my liking so that's a no go for me..

    not worried about were im sent or what i run as long as i get a good check i dont complain much

    this last one ticked me off though.

    i dont get scared eazly but when i went down that mountaine dead stick dash lights flickering that one got me a little lol.then to have them push it right after and have it do it on donner.

    filed the complaint with dot just have to hit the send button. have a little talk with them in the am in a few hrs while im hovering over the send button. bad thing for them is i document everything. dont throw nothing away til its 6 months old.
