Anybody know anything about action expediting out of ga

I worked for Action (Madison, GA) for about a year...no better, no worse than the average I would say. I'm in aposition where I can leave a company and have a job in short order...Action lives on truckers who MUST have the job. They don't give a wit about their drivers...everyone leaves when they have had enough of their BS. Their safety officer is a dolt and dispatch out of SoCal is run by an idiot

 

Yes, that is there modus operandi...pay by the turn and expect the driver to get the load there no matter what. I drove a mountain run through northern California and they would think nothing of expecting a driver go 16 or more hours due to snow. I'm willing to fudge a little to help out, but I refused to run illegal on a regular basis...hence I quit driving for them. They make a big deal of phone safety meetings, but it is all about covering their tails...and the safety officer is a certifiable dolt. Falsifying logs is their stock in trade, they don't ever say it but they expect it.

They recently gave their drivers a 10% pay cut to stay employed according to a friend who still drives for them. Now to be fair, you could drive for a lot worse companies...but you certainly could drive for better companies (ask me how I know ).

 

NealinNevada -

My name is Torrey and I am involved with a class action lawsuit against Action Expediting Inc. I would really like to speak to you regarding your experiences with the company, which can remain anonymous if you chose.
My personal email is tjguoin@gmail.com Thank you for your time and I look forward to speaking with you.

i have only found this thread, from doing a search for something else. anyone have any idea on this class action suit??

a buddy of mine was with them as well, and tried to get me on with them, but heard nothing of any class action suit.

 

My dad drove for them but out of Youngstown Ohio area. He liked it. Drove 5 days a week. 370 miles a night. Made $1300 a week. Home everyday. The owner of the company paid for my dads cremation when he passed away in 2012.
