Thomas Transportation Rising sun,Md/Dallas,TX

You are? Hmmm....

"They"? Or "YOU"?

I don't think you are who you claim to be.

Well, so far the evidence doesn't seem to support your claims.

Perhaps, but keep in mind where you are, AND remember this. Here at The Truckers' Report we were founded BY and FOR drivers, and both as a driver myself AND being in a position of authority on this site, it is thus my responsibility to look out for and protect the interests of both.

A search of your IP address, conveniently enough, comes back as Dallas TX, one of this company's apparent locations, which leads me to believe that not only are you NOT a driver but may very well be either the company owner or in some type of management position. If in fact that's the case, then you are welcome to post here. But ANY harassment of our members that you may ascertain to be on your payroll will NOT be tolerated and WILL result in your getting the boot immediately. I trust you will take this under advisement.

Says you. We allow driver's to speak their minds here, regardless of who agrees with what.

Is that a fact? His posts sure didn't look over the line to me.

I'll bet...

Really? Yet another interesting yet suspicious detail...

One would do well to practice what one preaches.

Then don't read them.

It would appear that the OP is in the process of seeking another driving job, so I'd say he DOES want to drive.

Then may I suggest not looking in the mirror?

Okay, Ms. "Bee", aside from your spelling "woman" with an "e", you're another who's motives aren't passing the smell test. You post your location as Union NJ, yet a search of your IP address comes back as Houston, TX. They're only about 1600 miles apart.

Furthermore, the email you used to register your membership here with us has a man's name, here....http://www.thomasmushrooms.com/

I don't what you two are trying to pull here, but neither of you are fooling anyone. I know company plants when I see them. If your company is as good to work for as you would like to have us believe, then lose the false pretenses, man up, and tell us who you are. If you can't do that, then I suggest as they say, you get off the pot.

 

Ok, fair enough.

Well, this would seem to support his assertion of having to run hard.

That's true, and that's one thing. Being demanded to pull off the impossible because some desk jockey screwed up is quite another. We get horror stories like that all the time here.

So none of your coworkers have been fired for no other reason then they weren't able to run from Rising Sun to Dallas overnight because some idiot forgot about the trailer sitting in the back corner of the yard?

In my experience, stranger things have happened. And from where I sit, bad planning on someone else's part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part.

Well, here's the problem. ONE complaint about a company can often be taken with a grain of salt. But the fleets that are usually the subject of such complaints are massive. Yours isn't. So that changes the map a little.

I've found that one way to make employees care is to treat them well. But premium drivers come with a price, and shiny trucks don't quite cut it in that regard.

But if you and other drivers are happy there, then God bless.
