Watch out for these guys and their drivers

My insurance paid me for the repairs, truck is being fixed right now, however they agreed to pay me down time and expenses and they keep giving me the run around and ask for more and more information, I stopped at my tax returns, I gave them several pay stubs and receipts on hotels, rental car, everything with documentation, they do not need my tax returns from the last three years. This guy who owns the company is really pissing me off. His crappy driver hit me and he can't even pay me while I have to sell all of my possessions to pay my bills in the mean time. I hope he eventually gets what he has coming to him in the form of karma, and I already have a lawyer working on the case and we're going to add financial suffering caused from there delay tactics.

 

I gave them an acceptable date for down time and was willing to accept if the truck was down longer than that, explained the situation im in and basically got an ## from them. The guy that hit me was there less than a month. Hope no one hires this yahoo.

 

So update to the situation, hired a lawyer and she called them last Tuesday, haven't heard anything from them yet, next step is a certified letter, and if they continue I'm suing the brakes of them. I will add interest, pain and suffer ring caused, and a bunch of other crap and then he is gonna pay big time. I hope I never run into the ***hat that owns continental express. He is a crook and a thief and I hope he gets what's coming to him one day.

 

Another update received truck today from Peterbilt in Altoona, Iowa. Fantastic repair job. Can't say enough about how pleased I am with the work they did. Can't even tell it was ever hit. I'm super happy with them and I am going to use them in the future when I need repairs. Rick in the service department in particular made my life a lot easier. If your in the Des Moines area these guys do good work.

 

I have my truck back, it's been two weeks and I'm still working my ### of trying to pull myself out of the hole they put me in. I haven't had a check really since before the accident. I'm on my last reserves to eat and I'm out here hauling trying to catch back up but when your paying 500 extra a week to catch your deficit up with landstar then 200 for trailer rent and then your regular deduction I really can't make any money at landstar until I pay the deficit loan off with them. Landstar is doing things different now and many of us here don't like it. I was hit by another driver and it wasn't my fault and they know it wasn't my fault and yet they couldn't help me out at all accept charge me 500 extra a week bc I was in the hole 5000 dollars by the time my truck was finished. I really don't know what I'm gonna do accept maybe let the truck go back and sue continental for loss of my business along with the money they owe me: I'm probably gonna lose my business over this. And I'm going to sue them for an entire year of lost revenue and projected income for the next five years becuas i can't afford to buy another truck or pay the payments on this one anymore bc of them. And unless they pay me soon I will go out of business due to there negligence.
