What a joke this company is. Hired me and laid me off five days later. I've driven truck for 30 years, with no issues, no citations and not one accident. My "trainer," who drove the first day, drove unsafe, didn't intertrip and displayed distraced driving to me. Of course I didn't call him out, as that is not a bright thing to do on your first day on the job. The second day I drove, two trips on a mountain road. Ice storm that night, trees falling across the road as well as powerlines dropping onto the road. I slowed down and safely made it through both trips. My "trainer" scared the crap out of me the first night. The truck kept popping out of 9th gear all the way there and back during my second day when I drove. Piece of crap equipment. I've never experienced such an ordeal in my 30 years of driving.
I've read here on TR many many bad reviews of this company in California. Now I believe all of them. Don't work for this outfit. They lied to me about stuff they didn't have to for those three days. This company is a joke.

Well i would love to say "Why did you get fired" but I know you to be an honest guy.
milkdud Thanks this. -
By the way, Joe, I also know you are a straight up and truthful man. No sarcasm implied. Thanks, seriously, for the honest remark.double yellow and joseph1135 Thank this. -

I'm curious why a guy with 30 years would go to work for a company like Gardner?
milkdud, mje and drver60021 Thank this. -
What really bugs me is that all the companies I've driven for would sit you down and talk to you about any issues they had to work things out. Not Gardner. I live and learn.joseph1135 Thanks this. -

Driving cabovers and hauling scrap to GP would have gotten very boring after a while anyway. Count your blessings.
milkdud Thanks this. -
Good luck to you. God bless you and your family! -
HotH2o Thanks this.
