I was at the Lakeland yard on Wednesday morning and saw Josh the terminal manager do some things that left me, a couple of drivers, a DM and a few new recruits angry!!! Josh S is a racist. There were 3 drivers there for displinary reasons. Two black drivers and one white driver.
Driver #1 who's black was late for a water load ( first time offense ) because he ran out of hours. He was 10 minutes from Sam's. Night time wouldn't let him do a safe haven. It's all recorded on Peoplenet because driver show us conversation. Josh fired him beacuse of that.
Driver #2 who's black started having chest pains after he delivered his water load took himself to the emergency room. He contacted his DM on PEOPLENET. DM told him to go to emergency room. DM cancels load, they kept driver overnight for observations. Driver had doctor's note, they cleared him. Driver had severe gas pains. Josh fires him for not picking up pre-plan water load.
Driver #3 who's white gets in two accidents. The first one a fender bender..The second one he wrecks and totals a car. Driver #3 was at fault he got tickets for both accidents. Josh rewards him by giving him a Peterbilt truck...
Josh fired both black drivers without them knowing. He gave both drivers loads to Lakeland for re-power not knowing they were gonna get fired. He treated disrespectly and never gave them the oppurtunity to go home and clean out there trucks.He rudely rush them off the property, only gave them a little time to get some things out there trucks and told the shop whatever left put in storage, just clean up this trucks for Friday's orientation class.
While he's embarrassing the black drivers, the white driver who total a car, sent a lady to the hospital is moving into his new Peterbilt truck laughing and joking with Josh in the parking lot. For Josh to do this not only in front of your experience drivers but also in front of the new recruits and a DM let's me know that Josh S is a racist..
I've heard stories about Link America and there good ole boy system. I didn't want to believe it but now I do...LINK AMERICA CARES FOR THE GOOD OLE BOYS and not anybody else..
Link America.. BAD

We don't have anyone here named josh S...If said person is racist, why do we have a black girl and a mixed girl to be driver managers? Why would both our local drivers Still be here? One is black, other is mixed. Why wouldn't he fire them? One of them has been here 15+ years..
Also, driver managers don't cancel preplans. The load planners do.
Honestly you listen to too much driver gossip. In all reality , you've made it clear you dislike working here and you dislike the company, so why are you still here?Last edited by a moderator: Aug 5, 2012
Skunk_Truck_2590 Thanks this. -
In the 60's or prior, maybe. These days, no way.

I met Josh when I was in orientation. I don't think first impressions mean as much as most people seem to think, but I still didn't like him. I thought he was arrogant. Wouldn't surprise me if he's banging at least one of his employees. He came off as that type of guy. Did you ever see Back to the Future Part 2? The one where they're in an alternate world and Biff is married to Marty McFly's mom? Josh reminded me of Biff.
Maybe the power has gone to his head way too much. -
Weren't you late to orientation?

I'm moving down to ellenton, and was considering working at link.
I never saw any problems at the lakeland terminal... -

Hmmm, Ok.

Had a job lined up somewhere else before the end of orientation, so at that point there was no reason to keep showing up. Found out if I ran dedicated for Wal-Mart I would hardly ever be home, and if I'm not gonna be home much I figured I might as well not limit myself to south Florida and put my name back into the OTR hat.
