    I was hauling a load back to Arkansas City Kansas when my wife became ill. I stopped In Pratt Ks at the hospital for my wife. I was then called a hour later and said I would no longer be employed by Trand. I had no problem with that, they told me to leave the truck in Greensburg Ks. I replied and told them I would not do that. I signed a contract that clearly stated I was to return the truck to ANY terminal of my choice if I no longer had a job at the company. I told my dispatch I would be returning the truck to the Ark City terminal where I was Givin the job. So that is what I did, 2yrs later I get pulled over for speeding and was told I had a felony warrant out of Pratt County Ks. After spending 11 days in County jail in Oklahoma, they came and got me to take to Kansas. Where there I sat another 7 days before my court date. They would not put a bond on me because I was a flight risk they said. I get in front of the judge and he laughs, yes he laughs and asks the DA if he was joking. I lost 18 days of my life, a new job I had just started a week prior and god only knows how much money. My case was dismissed and they we're never held accountable for there actions. Just a warning to other drivers, don't work for Trand Transport out of Ark City Ks.

    there was once a trucking outfit here in Somerset, MA if i recall, (they are now out of business), that gave you money for tolls, and for CAT scales.

    if you called and asked for more.??

    they had an arrest warrant put on you for stealing.....when you got back to the terminal and that ain't no BS either.

    long out of business they are, and no, i never worked for them either.

    and for the record, i cannot locate the company you are complaining about....

    I would've left the truck in Greensburg. You were fired at that point so it wouldn't have been a truck abandonment. If they wanted left there, so be it.

    A judge is the only person who can swear out a warrant for a person's arrest. That has to be based on a police report and evidence which provides enough probable cause to do so. It's one thing to have the police looking for you to question you about something they suspect. It's an entirely different thing to actually be arrested and jailed... The latter being much more serious.

    I think he should've called them Trand Inc. That's the only company with that name out of Pratt, KS. But they're a Crane company. The only Trand Transportation looks to be our of Antioch, TN.
