    They're runnin' neck to neck --- officially.
    Suffice to say the ideal tool-kit for a quick-fix would include
    duct tape, zip ties, (assorted lengths, -- colors optional) and
    tubes of J.B. Weld. Maybe some bailing wire, --- yesteryear's
    duct tape.

    It's well worth it.
    No. I don't work for that company. But I did my research and found it was the best and cheapest solution against prying eyes.

    The company I work for treats me as well as any other driver. But, but on average, I bring home more money, every week. Why, my co-driver and I feel, since we not at home, we should max out the miles. What does this do, more money, but it also has the added affect of keeping us in the minds of our fleet managers. As one of them has said more than once, "We make them look good". Rather than finding fault, better to decide with your feet. As mentioned elsewhere, there are a lot of companies out there, find a better one.

    Memphis Express Inc is a company to stay away from. Owner consistently lies to drivers and O/O about their money. If a load pay $3300.00 owner tells O/O it only pays $2400.00 and then takes another 15 percent off of the load. Equipment not properly maintained. Company drivers are consistently given loads that can not legally be delivered on time. Drivers promised detention pay but never delivered. Owner does not take care of tax paperwork so it falls on the driver when IRS comes knocking.

    I know for a fact that USA Truck monitors forums. When I drove for USA Truck, they actually had a confidential hotline they wanted you to call if you saw anyone posting anything bad about them online. This was 3 years ago, and I don't currently drive - went back into security instead.

    Very interesting, but not at all surprising. :rolleyes:

    If a company were decent to work for they would stand out on their own merits, rather than having to resort to this sort of "control freak" type of BS.
     
    Cromwell and Sneakerfix Thank this.

    I don't believe one sided stories , ever. Not to say drivers don't get screwed but a lot of times it's their own fault . I saw a video on you tube from a driver who calls himself Run Hard Get Paid who recorded his dispatchers telling him to basically do his job , nothing illegal , and the company , K and B I believe , guarantees 1 k a week no matter how many miles you roll if you don't service fail a load or turn one down. Basically the driver had s 20 hour break and claimed he was to tired to drive a few hundred miles at night . I mean dang come on

    He posted a retraction later , and his dispatchers were " admonished " , for what I don't know as they were talking to him like he was a grown man . His later videos he was like a company recruiter ha ha . Just funny as you watch the video he's wide awake for the length of the conversation , like an hour and I'm sure he was awake afterwards . He did a swap somewhere I think so he had to stay up or drive to that , and could have power napped two hours at least that whole time
