Hurricane Express stay away

Part that would get me would being told how I could drive the truck I was paying for.

Don't think I could do a lease purchase program. It's all mine or not at all.

My truck is financed at the bank in my name only. License is my name too, I don't run a company plate.

Guess the takeaway from the man's run on story!! Is to do your research before you sign.

 

My name is Gary I want to work for Hurricane Express that it was so cool to have a nice truck well let me tell you about their trucks.

Kaiden thanks that he is a master in designing his truck let me tell you about it the fuel ratio on the truck is turned down there is only one fuel tank on the driver side they took the passenger side off.

the trucks die going up the hill from 65 down to 30 miles an hour in their contract it states that if you don’t get the proper fuel mileage they will charge you for it even though you’re an owner operator leasing the truck paying for the fuel they will still charge if you don’t get above 7 miles per gallon.

their staff completely lies to you to get you in the door I made about $18,000 for that company.

Only took him $3500 the recruiters tell you that they have a $5800 guaranteed for you after orientation but they don’t tell you $400 they give you one week $600 they give you the next week is coming out of your check after four weeks they guaranteed you $1200 a week after orientation.

but she only see you about seven $800 they tell you that your truck payment is $90 a day what they don’t tell you is there’s another $1200 coming out of your check also every week for trailers for insurance for fuel for the reefer trailer that you don’t known distain hard to have the company separated up into four different companies Kaiden owns part of it.

Sheldon owns part of it Mrs. Steinhart owns part of it and Mr. Steinhart owns part of it that’s because if somebody goes after them for a lawsuit each one of them has a certain amount that they own The vice president Sean over there is the biggest piece of garbage I’ve ever seen in my life.

he’ll lie to you to your face for all of you that don’t know Hurricane Express was in trouble in Arkansas that’s why they moved their company to Oklahoma so Arkansas couldn’t nail them I know it sounds bad to badmouth this company because I’m sure you think that I’m some bad driver all I got to tell you is do your research before you go with this company because their recruiters and their DM‘s treat you like #### .

they expect you to stay out here 24 seven if you have any problems you can contact the Oklahoma BBB they are interested in everybody’s comments I personally am talking to an attorney that’s reviewing the contract now and he says his contracts garbage.

I will keep everybody informed what goes on I feel anybody’s willing to pursue a lawsuit with them I would advise you to do that because trucking companies like this don’t belong in business they’re scam artist you’re making them rich while you’re out there busting your ### 70 hours a week or more.

Donely bring home six $700 when you’re making the truck $4500 a week oh and if they guaranteed you $1500 that’s all you’re going to get but you won’t even get that after they start deducting everything out I’ve been driving a truck 27 years and I’ve got to say one thing don’t waste your time over at Hurricane Express if you want to be homeless

well i deciphered it, i still cannot understand most of it...

 

I managed ok, what I did is copied and pasted his block of text stuck it into Notepad and chopped it into smaller blocks.

At some point everything was more or less comprehensible but it is difficult to go through. Even for me.

Im going to assume this was a 1099 employment. It goes to show sometimes how abusive it can be if you don't know what you are getting into. Hoping the OP has better trails later on than this one. 27 years trucking is too many to be throwing away on bad employers.

The worst of the article is the lack of continuity in the money. This much that, something else over or god knows what this is. Im not here to be difficult but most truckers can count dollars to the penny and know exactly what they lost, earned etc. If it was so bad the OP should not have stayed there that long to accumulate more losses like a gambler staying at the table.

 

What a bunch of blood suckers! And, believe me, I know a thing or two about blood sucking.

 

This is nothing new, Hurricane Express has had a less than stellar reputation for a long time. Do some research

 

There is one company that stands below even this one. Used to be called Gunthers. Near Harrisburg. A rogue outfit.

You know what they tried to do a couple of years ago after being run out of PA on a rail? Incorporate in Annapolis Md of all places and tried to quietly purchase enough land and gravel to get things started. The mistake they made? Using the same two convicted people to incorporate with. Maryland and FMCSA issued a absolute close down out of service order to the Motor Carrier on sight as soon they understood what was about to happen.

 

Now that you have learned the lesson the hard way, the next time you want to enter into any type of business partnership or agreement, (and trust me, you will) read the contract before you sign it. If you don't understand what you're reading, then pay a professional to do it for you.

If there is no written contract/agreement...walk away!

 

too many people just go from one 1099 to another, have a problem and gripe about it.

what's that old saying...??

to not have learned from the past, you're doomed to repeat in the future...????

these 1099 complaints are just for entertainment purposes for me nowadays...

 

It's going to be different for them.... honest
