The question I have is why did they hand out your number without your permission? That rely sucks and to me violates your privacy.

I know that it is a violation of my right to privacy. I just got home a few days ago after being out on the road for Priority Transportation(mostly sitting-the last week averaging 250 miles per day)and when I look at my pay reciepts, I find they have cheated me out of at least 2 cents per mile. Hell, when I quit at thier Chesterton Indiana terminal last week, they forced me to leave the property immediately, not allowing me enough time to get my dentures and several hundred dollars worth of personal property out of the truck - not to mention thier own truck keys and fuel card - which they cell phoned my ride to get from me. I gave thier things all back to them in good order and they just treated me like a red headed stepchild. I have a BIG beef with Priority that might take me years to settle. I think people like those I have had the displeasure of dealing with at Priority are the best example of the worse that exists within the trucking industry. They got a lot of balls flying America's colors and then treating citizens the way they do. One day Priority Transportation will get what they deserve. You can't screw people indefinately without some type of justice happening at some point.

I hate doing this, but again, I'm going to have to offer some challenges to what mrhcarter is offering in his posts.

I don't have any firsthand knowledge into any of the dealings that he nor anyone else has had with Priority Transportation, but this is another case where something doesn't smell right. Many of their drivers run in the same circles that I do, and their drivers seem to be happy for the most part from what I have observed. Priority DOES have some safety issues, as Burky pointed out.

I edited out the site that you offered Mr. Carter, because unless I did something wrong in trying to contact it, you seem to have removed content from it, and I was not able to peruse what you have written. I didn't see any reason to allow a link to a site that has nothing on it. This may be temporary if some of what has been offered is cleared up.

You wrote:
I assume this to mean that you are either going to, or have offered a complaint to some Federal agency in regard to Priority Transportation. You as a driver cannot "initiate" an investigation arbitrarily on your own.

Those are some serious charges. The thing that nags me in the back of my mind, is what in the world would make a company resort to all of this, with a six week employee? Then...if the people who hired and dealt with you are no longer there, is this some indication that they were the problem, and that you might be able to salvage something out of the job? Have you tried?

Their safety numbers seem to possibly support this charge. They have an extremely high OOS rate for drivers.

Fair enough, but let's remember something. Lying is an act commited by an individual person, or in this case, a collection of them. You haven't offered what they lied about. Your site is not in a state where I could read it, as others have. I don't want to completely trash your testimony, because all that you claim may be very true.

This is the charge that I have the most issue with. Why would an office worker give out the telephone number of a terminated employee? It makes no sense.

Okay...your experience with them sucked big time. I'd appreciate it if you would offer a post that illustrated all of the issues you had with them, and not a link to a revenge site, which appears to be what was on tap. You could be fishing for hits as well.

I understand that you are clearly upset with this company at the moment, and all that you offer may be 100% true. I'd feel better about things if you would take the time to explain all the circumstances in detail.

I am sorry that you feel bad. I hope you recover. I am not about to post all information in detail as I expect that at some point I may need such to represent, or defend my claims. I just want others to know what is happening to me. I talked with another Priority driver last night....he is enjoying my personal property which Priority has allowed him to remove from the truck I drove. Wonderful company...beautiful people.

I have a good question for you, Mr. Turbo Trucker. I had placed information on a website with complete legal notice of copyright protection and you have copied/reproduced and published excerpts from this copyright protected site to this forum. What gives you the right to copy, reproduce and publish my copyrighted material? And you talk like you are so interested in what is right and proper. Do you work for Priority????

That's good. I like good questions.

I did? Where? I did no such thing, and you making such a charge is silly. There wasn't even anything ON your site to copy or reproduce by the time I got to it.

Well...if I had done such a thing, I'd be happy to address that question. Since there is no post that exists from myself that would be an example of my copying, reproducing, or the publishing of your so called, copyrighted material, I am at a loss to offer an explanation of my right to do anything.

That would be correct.

Uh...no, but I might be getting an understanding as to why you no longer do.

Friend, let me tell you something. If you think that making baseless attacks on this site is going to be productive, then you might try to think again.

You are right! I guess I did not read your spects carefully enough. Obviously The Truckers Report has it's own agenda.

Well...we sure like to start with the truth and end up with the same. There are always two sides to every story, and without the details to explain the circumstances that occured, blind charges are just that. You charged me with posting copyrighted material of yours, and that Sir, was another blind charge.

What's your point? The first sentence says plainly "By posting to The Trucker's Report Discussion Forum, you agree that The Trucker's Report can display,modify, transmit, distribute or delete your posting without permission from or contact to you."

I made a decision to modify your posts be reducing the type size and removing the link to a site that has nothing on it.

This site is not a toilet. You're not going to come in here and dump a load of #### and leave. I asked you nicely for an explanation of your charges, but that is too much to ask I suppose. Your charges make no sense without some explanation and the details that led up to the extraordinary mistreatment that you assert.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. It is never my intention to chase people away, but when something doesn't sound right, I'm going to do the responsible thing and ask for more information. The fact that you'd rather decline to offer that information only makes me feel that my suspicions were on target.

Just a thought here. If the info on your site was so correct, and the truths you proclaimed so evident, why did you feel it needed to take everything off of the site simply because a few people questioned it? If it's everything you claim it is, then you should want to keep it all up there for posterity and to rally others to the call against the evil trucking company. Methinks there is something fishy here....

Good question Burky... any takers?
