Worst company you ever worked for?

Funny how that happens.....

 

The spots may not change, but I bet the leopard has evolved and further refined his hunting tactics over the years...

 

Well this is one leopard that needs to go extinct for preying on drivers!

 

Hmmm....Seems to be a pattern here !

 

Where can I find it @MACK E-6 ?

 

I don't want to list the name since they might view these forums, but it involved hauling dry bulk cement locally. They said it would be a dirty job, and that didn't bother me. For starters, the equipment was just plain awful. Both the tractor and trailer. I was only there 2 weeks, and I had 4 breakdowns and swapped between 3 trailers. 3 of the breakdowns involved overheating when climbing a hill despite having full coolant. I had to wait 30mins on the side of the road for it to cool down. Everytime. I reported it to the shop. They didn't fix ####. I don't think they even looked at it.

Blew a drive tire heading back to the terminal. As for the trailers, the first one I got had very low pressure. I'm talking like between 1-2 psi. I spent 3hours pumping and wasn't even half way done. I had to take the load back to the yard because I wasn't about to spend all night at the place. 2nd trailer i got had a leak at the bottom. tried putting a cloth around to block it but it didn't do ####. burnt my arm on the pipe trying to do that aswell. 3rd trailer had leak at the top near the cover hole. not a bad leak, but it dropped my psi down to 6-7 which made unloading take an hour longer. Supposed to have a consistent 12-15 psi while pumping and only take 30mins. I told the shop about it on Friday and the man said he'd fix it. I come back Monday and guess what? They didn't do a god #### thing! The #### wasn't even moved. Dispatch tells me to me to use another tractor trailer. ok, whatever. I'm setting my stuff up in the truck, and another employee tells me that's his truck and he's using it. seriously? I decide to use my old truck and hook up to another trailer.

it didn't have a hose attached so I asked the shop if they had a spare. of course they didn't. I tried removing the hose from the broken trailer but it wasn't coming loose and I sure as hell wasn't about to ask the useless shop for help yet again.

I quit on the spot. My paychecks were also something like 500-600 a week and I got absolutely covered in dirt everyday. not worth it. I found another local job in which I only have to make 1 stop and I bring home $1200 a week. Paid hourly too. Clean and the truck and go 72mph. 100x better than whatever ####show that was.

I tell you what. if I had stayed there I would've probably ####ed my cdl for life with their garbage equipment.

 

JR snuggle .. there’s good and bad. the good like some of the people on weekend dispatch. the bad, like the fact that I got pulled into a lease and the DM I had was horrible. never a decent preplan and always left me sitting when I had plenty of time to run. the last month I was there was out 4 weeks, I only banked $2800 dollars. they bait you in with the $399 least, then bankrupt you with footing the repairs on a 400+k mileage truck, or sucker you into purchasing a new one that is impossible to pay for.
