    Schneider had a team that fought to the death of one of them last Summer. Stabbed his co-driver to death in Houston Tx over the volume of the stereo. I don't know how people team, no way would I do it.

    EDIT: Here's the story that you mentioned http://www.allbusiness.com/crime-law-enforcement-corrections/law-police-forces/13808141-1.html

    Hi mapar72
    Falcon called me about3-4 months ago and asked if i would like to come back and run to can. I told the girl no sence i had found a good local job running roll off.
    The company had some very good things about it. If they only could pay good,get you home and do what that say then it would be a great place to work. BUT they say one thing and do 2 other they flip flop to much. If they keep it up there going to be the next arrow trucking.

    Be safe drivers

    Friends, I Would Not Be a Good Person, If I did not Warn Ya'll about Falcon. In Other Postings, I Informed You How I Was USED by Falcon. I had To watch Every Paycheck, And Compare It With the Run I Did. My encounters with Some Falcon Drivers were for the most part, Like Talking To The Homeless People in Any Large City. It Usually Started & Ended with them Trying To Borrow Money, Or A Cigarette. In A Few Cases, I was Sleeping And They Banged On My Sleeper Or Driver's Door. After Waking Me, They Wanted To Know "What Are You Doing?" Dispatch/Operations Have Called Me on Friday Afternoon, Wanting Me To Reroute in order to replace my tractor, ( NOT MENTIONING TO ANYONE THAT THEY HAD SOLD IT A MONTH, BEFORE), If I owned a Trucking Company, And I Ran It The Way Falcon Runs Theirs, I Would Be Out Of Business In Less Than A Month. It Is Apparent that Falcon Does Not Care About Anyone/Anything except for their bottom line. Friends, There Are So Many Other Companies out there, that know the VALUE OF EMPLOYEES. STAY FAR AWAY FROM FALCON. These are Not Lies, This Is FACT.
    Happy Trails

    I went to the orientation with Falcon in Gary, In. I guess they got some new automotive business(GM) in Canada. If you can run Canada to Texas I would do it. You won't get rich doing it but it should pay the bills. You will also be on a dedicated route. The weekly pay is between $734 to $850 a week,which isn't bad out of the Detroit area.

    This nearly happened to me once. Guy wigged out cause he thought he couldnt enter a route number on his gps instead of a street name. Our customer was on US30. Thankfully we were near a terminal so i drove there and quit. Screamed and yelled at me for the whole 15 minutes to the yard. what the hell is with people? I only knew him for a day.

    Anyway thats why ill never have another roommate either...

    The falcon orientation in Gary. In was a joke thats where i did mine we had like 25 guys and 1 girl they gave everyone the anwsers to the small test like sheets and the backing test was a joke too dryvan outback back between construction cones. I will say they payed me good for orientation and 1 extra day for the flatbed (TRAINING) paid me a check everyday. I cashed them as soon as i got home they all cleared.
    I was lucky on that.
    Save yourself the probems don't go with falcon and also stay away from stoughton trucking in stoughton, Wi. They have lots of problems and take money out of your check. And screw with you DAC

    Good luck
