    I really hate threads like this. Who is going to report a BAD company? A disgruntled driver. When will he/she do it? When they're mad.

    The way I see it, every company can be BAD on any given day. They can also be good, but we rarely see a forum thread about that. I just don't think it's cool to mark a company as BAD just because a driver doesn't like them at that moment. Or maybe it's just not a good fit for this particular driver?

    I know most people don't understand how I can work for a company that is as strict as mine, but they work fine for me. Yes, I get cheesed at them every now and then too, but I don't label them as a BAD company just because everything isn't perfect.

    Just my two cents.

    How about my .02 cents.....
    this morning my load to Oklahoma City is canceled. Next ld- ok fine.
    I'm under a load for a Sears load to McLean Ill
    sears tells me to come back at 5pm, My clock started at 7 am.
    i go back to the sears dc at 330 to see if I'm lucky. Nope. Security calls the planner at Sears, come back at 8pm.
    i call my dispatcher he hangs up on me.
    A whole freaking day wasted. No miles no pay.
    I work for us express.
    Drivers deserve to know that this kind of bs happens.

    here we go the op is either a dispatch, or owner of a company and wants to censorship the forums.....isn't there better things that one could be doing then crying about how one feels that this thread is just one sided.....

    well, like someone else stated if you don't like what is on the channel then turn the channel and if that still doesn't work then turn the darn thing off...

    nobody forced you to come in here and read, nobody forced you to post but yet you had the sudden urge to post something why.....because maybe it is the truth and it hurt your feelings...really???

    well news update, obviously what has been posted or will be posted has to be at least somewhat true if not all true, for one to be ranting about how one hates this forum, and really you couldn't hate it that much as you not only took the time to read the forum but took more time to post.....

    who you really trying to fool here....

    get a life, grow up, and when people get screwed by a company and post it on here that is what it is for....so either clean up your act and treat your drivers right, or expect the next posting by someone you didn't treat right to end up here...

    I just think people should know that just because a company is listed here doesn't mean they are a bad company for everyone.

    Ive had my fair share of bad companies but never reported them online.There's others that do it for me.But many of these companies deserve to get slammed.Its the drivers way of letting off steam.For example CrEngland,they probably have the most complaints and every driver has a different reason.I see nothing wrong with reporting a bad company maybe that helps other drivers from making a bad decision.You're right we very rarely hear anything about good companies but let me ask you this how often do you hear anything about all the good drivers we have?

    Lowa3468,

    I'm not any of those things. I'm a company driver who has been driving for 17 years. I thought I might be able to help some people out here, but apparently everyone just screams insults at you for having a different opinion about something. Sheesh, maybe I shouldn't have bothered.

    To make my point; I have actually worked for one of the companies listed here as BAD. My wife and I both liked them a lot and were treated with respect. But the driver on here HATES them. See? It's all a matter of opinion and largely depends on the mood of the driver when he/she jumps onto this forum.
