J&R schugel, Beware

First off, yes I did maintain a good record. Second I'm not standing on principal, if the tire isn't legal I ain't driving it, bc I'm not going to get that ticket.... even if there's only a 10% chance I'll get an inspection I'm not taking that chance if I k ow for a fact it's not legal, such as wire showing or less than required tread depth. I'm more than willing to wheel it over to a shop if they'll replace it. I'm not unwilling to help. And third, While I was still working here, I was on the good side of all the dm's. As I often bought them food in a bribery attempt and had ongoing running jokes about many things. I still keep in contact with my old dm. And fourth, I didn't stand on principal on the radio, I asked the shop to get it fixed as the truck only had 7,000 miles on it all of which I had put on it. They readily agreed and got it fixed under warranty at no cost to company. It took 3 hours due to slow communication with radio manufacturer. (Idk if you can stay awake 8-10 hours in silence, but I can't and won't!) Wen I'm tired I need music in order to stay alert and awake. Ur special powers are yours alone. And it doesn't make me a newbie if I need my radio to work. And as it was covered under warranty there was no cost incurred. And on the tires "that's the cost of buisness" they shouldnt use super singles which are double the cost if they aren't going to take care of them. I don't need more than 18 months in the industry to be able to sum up a companies problems effectively. I #### sure will make sure I'm paid what I deserve as that's the whole point in trucking. As far as ur general tone of speaking down to me I resent that as I am simply stating the issues I had, and reasons for leaving. I only ever had issues with the manager above the DMs.

Bottom line if you don't have the freight and the miles for the driver's u currently have, stop hiring as it'll only cause u problems. As stated b4 I was more than willing to put up with the BS if I was getting consistent mileage above 2100-2300 per week being out 2-3 months at a time. However I wasn't getting that so it was time to move on. Im not offended. Just shocked at how they would treat a former driver for them who left on good terms and did everything reasonably possible to make them money and arrived on time Everytime if not early.
I'm not here for your opinion on how I should behave or what to do next, I'm simply stating why I think schugel is a bad company and warning future drivers who do research and find this post to stay far away, And never believe the recruiters if they tell u u'll get a $15,000 bonus.

That's it and that's all.
At 18 months I don't necessarily think I could get hired at 0.60cpm otr and still get the miles I want. I'll be ok with a 0.50cpm range. I'm currently at Smith transport getting ready for orientation Monday.

Thanks for your concern but is not needed and unwelcome sir.

Have a great day

You gotta remember it's reefer and mostly live loads and unloads tho

 

Then my opinion is equally valid, and my opinion is I don't need his opinion on his excellence and superior knowledge nor do I wish to be spoken down to.
If u take issue with this then that's ur own problem, not u nor anyone else regardless of status or whatever will talk down to me as of my lived experience means nothing bc they are somehow all knowing or better than me.

That being said I do appreciate that you have rules allowing anyone to comment. But an unproductive comment deserves to be met with a reply pointing out it's uselessness.

I stand by what I said. His belittling is neither wanted not needed, and he can post what he wants, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it.

So yeah.

Do what you will with that, it's your perogative but I'm no (you bleeped out something I had already bleeped?) ***** and I don't let people speak to me in such a way regardless of who they are or what authority they hold over me. Respect is a 2 way street. I don't give respect unless I get respect.

I'm sure you can understand where I'm coming from!

(It's not profanity if 3 letters are replaced with a *, I fail to see the point in censoring a word that's only got 2 readable letters out of the 5 it would have?)
