Shaffer Driver Chat Room

Well I can tell ya I have dodged the bullet on the sleep test, so far, the model number I know of is ds450hs, ran into a poor guy that went threw it, we looked it up on line for about $519, and a face mask he bought from them, charged him another $269., on line $169, o they are not making any money o no!

Most not all the people I have run into that have to have it for this job say it does, not work for them, I will not be here much longer but will post up too that point for other people to read.

I am looking for other trucking company's, I can be home twice as much and make the same as I am now, and have a real apu on the truck, makes a big diff.

This company is full of it, they have new posters up now saying $63,000, LMAO

And when you drive into the main HQ, they a sign up be home weekly, LMAO AGAIN!!!!

I had some of the office people there talk, and they all say one thing in common, they due not listen, and its getting worst, they hate working there. I talked too one old timer there this week, 15 yrs with the company, 695 miles as of Saturday, thats bad, he said he is starting to look.

I have held back my op-ion as much as I can, but I am not staying with these folks, They have really put the spin=on.

O and my Dispatcher doesn't work there anymore, I have been threw 3 of them in a week, I finally ask the last one if they was my dispatcher, ans-yes.

More too follow!


WE_SHALL_SEE!

Nope., left around the second week of May, I will update why I left, and how they handled paying back the lock fees etc.

I am a contract Driver for Estes, doing Home Depot Deliverys via Flat bed.

New Moffit, new Home Depot trl, 400,000 mile day cab, that was so dirty I had to take it to a car wash and spray washed the interrior out for 2 hrs, ya it was dirty, Dam!

Home every day, working on salary, no beny's, if I work 3 hrs I still get a full days pay.

Every sunday off and only work about 4 hrs on saturdays, and we are getting ready to go to every other weekend off.

Days start between 0630 and 0700, not bad.

I am making with in $34, of what I was avg doing the over the road stuff.
