My husband worked for Continental Express Inc in Sidney, OH for 2 months. They promised every weekend home. Yeah right. I admit he was home every week but for less than 24 hours. He told them a week in advance he was quitting and then the next pay he got it was less over $960. They said the truck was damaged and had to be fixed. The truck was like that when he got it and they didn't fix it then. The owner is rude and obnoxious. They run the drivers illegal every day. DOT has heard about it already.

Your hubby needs to carry a camera and take pictures of all damages and have tem developed before he takes possession of the truck . The company needs to sign all pictures agreeing to all of the prior damage that way if and when he leaves the job he has proof of all of the prior damage.
If the company does not want to sign the pictures then he needs to request a different truck with no damage or start walking.
He needs to cover his butt period.

i am currently an employee its true they want you to falsify logs expect you to pay for damage to trucks charge you 500 if u dont give weeks notice charge you 100 if u get shut down by dot iv been ther 4 weeks and id rather put a bullet in my head than do the required week but i have family stay away from this company unless you like to be abused.o and i get home less than 24 hrs a week average work day is 14hrs plus stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband lasted with them for about 3 mo. His every week home time that was promised would consist of him pulling in to the terminal at around 2am on Sat and was expected to be back by 3 pm Sun, just 13 hrs and off he went for another week of being lied to. He would only average around 1500 mi/wk, all kinds of things held out of his check, etc. He put his week notice in and was told to drop the truck off at the terminal at the end of the week, and after he cleaned it out to have the shop guy sign off that they had recieved it. Thank heavens we live in Sidney (that was the biggest reason he decided to go with this company, plus the promised home time), we loaded up the car, he cleaned the inside very very well, we took pictures and made copies of all of the signed paperwork showing they recieved the truck. Sure enough on his DAC they reported that he abandoned the truck under a load! When he called the company to discuss the issue they tried to fight him on it until he informed them of all the paperwork we had copies of. It was amazing how quickly they backpeddled and said it would be changed "right away". Sure enough they proved themselves to be liars yet again as it showed up on his DAC just this past month, well he carries his paperwork with him and was able to show this new company that Continental was lying and the new co. hired him.

Just a word to the wise, copy and keep, copy and keep EVERYTHING!

Wow, their website looks too good to be true! I see it really is! Sheesh!
