If you live in Buffalo,NY and work for Regent Corp of Lancaster,NY hauling mail,they will screw you every chance they get,both on your pay and vaction along with your health and welfare pay.They run junk equipment and always try to blame the driver if the junk breaks down.If you get D.O.T. inspected they they do not pay for the tickects either,and leave the driver hanging for the fines and tell the driver that it is his responsibility to maintain the equipment

No, it's the driver's responsibility to inspect the equipment, and not to take it if it isn't roadworthy and legal. If you can't do that, I wish you the worst of luck finding a new job, because I really don't want to have to share the road with you.

and that if something was wrong they should not have driven the truck or pulled the trailer.

That is correct.

They refuse to maintain the equipment or buy oil and other supplies to keep the trucks and trailers operating, if you complain they tell you to buy it and turn the receipts in and they will repay you, this does not happen!!!

You're kidding me, right? You're going broke putting oil in the truck?

The supervisor is a scumbag who runs the show and always tells the drivers that he can fire anyone he wants at will and is backed by the scumbag that owns the company!

This is news? I don't think I've ever worked for a supervisor who couldn't fire people.

Also if they call you in on your day off and you refuse to work they hold a grudge and start looking for ways to make you quit so that they dont have to pay for your unemployment.If this does not work they eventually fire you with a note on your pay check and will not tell you in person.This the worst company ever!!!

Ah, you need to get on with one of the "earn more, stay at home more" companies.

I kinda agree with you on how people hear ''local'' and they may sometimes forget to ask important questions.I've done it myself.But,let me ask you a question.If most OTR outfits weren't lying,cheating,bottom feeders with piss poor miles,why do you think people are so anxious to get away from them?

Maybe after a few years of bouncing from different color truck to different color truck,but experiencing the same shabby treatment that seems to be expected when driving OTR..

Stuff like,Oh, 7 hour unpaid waits for loading and unloading,being 1,900 miles away from your house when you were scheduled to be sitting on your sofa.Sitting two days in a sweltering Mississippi truckstop that reeks of piss while you wait on another 500 mile load.

When people complain about some of this stuff, they are told,'' trucking ain't for sissies.'' Oh..O.K..So this is some sort of character deficit on the part of anyone who doesn't like pissing in a Gatorade jar for days on end and who actually place value on their time and wish to be paid for it?

Aren't people supposed to expect the employer to furnish oil for their equipment? Would you have thought to ask during orientation at a mega carrier ,''who pays for the oil?'' Wouldn't you take it for granted that they would? Wouldn't you expect somewhat decent equipment that didn't demand a lot of close scrutiny?

It's kind of hard to find those companies nowadays, oil is the best area to get into something like that.

Not even oil? I would buy oil, I think. And light bulbs? We don't own any of the trailers that we pull, but we keep extra lights for them. It's not that big an expense, and it saves time, which saves money.

Whether it's your truck or not, anything you do that is good for the company is usually good for you, ultimately. I'm not suggesting that you overhaul your transmission or pay for new tires, but you could buy oil and lights. If the company has agreed to reimburse those items, they should do it, but I wouldn't sweat it, myself. If it's a small item that will get the truck rolling, it's worth buying. It costs more for the truck to sit.
