positive thread for mcleod express

You must be the only driver, which makes me wonder if you are really telling the truth or an office manager.

Sorry, but I do not buy it.

 

Ok couple weeks ago I got to cover for another driver on vacation, got to do his dedicated run from Paris Il to glendale ,Oh. That was a nice gig. and lately been running some short stuff last week but still running decent for the week. This past week been bounced out to middletown new york and back to illinios..Looks like im being set up for that run again later after holiday..Thats great for me..good miles.I just dont undersatnd why people think this company sucks unless they live in a bad area and cant get home or just dont want to work. I sometimes wonder if drivers really check out a company's running area b4 they hire on...I mean I get my tolls paid for,ive gotten hotel paid for when apu went out. when truck needs fixed they fix it,,Its all about communication drivers.. No company is perfect and I can tell ya from 22 years of driving neither are we drivers.lol Hey everyone enjoy the holiday weekend and keep the sunny side up...well talk to everyone next month sometime...gotta go spend my obama cash and buy some romney signs.lmao

 

My APU quit there one night. 26 below.

Called the night dispatch to tell them and request a motel.

His reply....

What do you want me to do about it.

Deal with it.

I still think you are office not driver.


The next day, I delivered in Assumption. Froze my rear off with no heat. Got empty and drove the truck to the yard after telling dispatch APU needed worked on.

Got to the yard and they wanted to BILL ME for driving the truck up there.

 

really they wanted to bill you for miles from assumption Il to decatur,IL? do you know how many few miles that is? Its next door to decatur..come on be truthful. Also NOOO i am not an office person...Really? seems funny whenever I need things fixed on truck Bart in shop always gets to me..If you treat people nice and cooperate with them things get done heck alot fast drivers. communication,communication... I am sorry you didnt handle right driver. I saw a new driver who just hired on last week complaining cause he said he has been driving for a few years and didnt get a brand new truck..what the heck, is this what drivers expect now new everything????Is this the new ENTITLEMENT society america has become? guess drivers think they shouldnt have to work hard to get nice things or home more often..... Oh I almosty forgot...I had another good week for driving....see you new drivers next week or two.lol

 

Problem is that I am truthful.

Told them to do as they pleased. My personal vehicle was there and I could leave.

Go back to the office.

 

Wanna work for a good company, go down the road to ADM and pull tanks. Best job I ever had, just wish I'd realized it before I left in May. I will find out tomorrow when I can go back. Might have to do a sleep study before they will give me my medical card.

I found it funny that someone earlier thought that most drivers being at McLeod for over 9 months and some for 2 years was an implication of a good company.

 

sleep test are not law as of yet..alot of carriers and doctors are being pressured by our government to start early testing. I wish carriers and drivers would stand up against our out of control government..cant do it by myself.....help...well I guess its time to go back to my office.lmao..yes I have an office with a great view of america. DUH..some people just will never believe the truth always wanting to be VICTIMS,,romney had it right about the 47%.
