Hirschbach Motor Line Dubuque, IA

good to know even though they where not on my short list of comapnies to apply

 

I worked for this low life company for two months last year.I should have got up
and left as soon as i saw their terminal in East Dubuqe Il,but after I went thru
the long Greyhound ride to get there I figured might as well give them a shot.The
recruiter makes it sound like a good company and I did not see many bad threads
about them when i checked the net info.Looked to me like they had a scam going
leasing trucks to drivers who dont know any better.They cheated me out of over
$500.00 in the short time I drove for them as a company driver.The recruiter did
leave a lot unsaid about their company policies if she had been honest not many
people would show up for orientation.To any driver looking for another job you
will regret wasting your time on these scam artist,I guarantee it..

 

There's several threads on HML. I just got done reading an old thread when I was happy there. But they did a nose dive when they moved to E.Dubuque and lost all the good employees.

I can post 10 pages, but it's easier if you use the search feature and read the old threads.

 

1st clue to high turn over would have been 16 people in orientation.

 

one correction if I may, East Dubuque, IL. Sorry things didn't work out for you. Hope you find what you are looking for in your future endeavors. The OP does raise a good point, always research your companies before applying. There are goods and bads everywhere you go. Make sure you fully understand what you are getting into before signing on with a company, oh and remember the recruiter is paid to get you to go to his/her company.

 

.... and Meltom is paid to sort the mess out!

 

I'm really not sure what I'm paid for, but if you want to learn about eLogs and so forth I am willing to give it a shot.
