Seems like a decent, well written rebuttal from the accused. There are two sides to every coin.
Perhaps now anyone researching companies can hear both sides and decide for themselves if it's the right fit for them.

• Once again, drivers are required by FMCSA to complete a pre-trip inspection before each shift. This is standard law, not a company rule. If unsure, you can confirm it through a quick search or by asking any carrier of your choice.
Remember, some of these lapses affect your PSP record and our company’s safety score — which directly impacts load quality, pay, and the livelihood of other drivers.

• The reason for frequent contact with you was your repeated failure to follow instructions in many aspects. Our drivers can contradict your statements that we micromanage drivers + we have all the evidence in the world to prove that we in fact, do not micromanage drivers.

• Yes, you are correct, you were offered a load after delivery in Kentucky so you wouldn’t return empty with no pay. Despite your disrespectful tone toward our safety manager, we still tried to part on decent terms. You refused, we sent you to IL yard without pay as originally agreed. Simple as that.

• You failed to mention during your rant about escrow that no escrow was deducted from your first statement, and none will be from your final settlement. As covered in orientation, final settlements are issued 45 days after your last working day (9/26/25). We do not withhold pay or play games with driver earnings just because we feel like it.

• It’s unfortunate you feel this way, though not surprising given your statement during orientation that you leave reviews for businesses all the time. Majority which can be proven to be negative reviews. You could have reached out to us if you had any concerns/problems but instead you took your thoughts and feelings to this thread you created. What should we have done? Stayed quiet and let you bash us without sharing our side? We treated you with utmost respect & kept every word we gave you before you even arrived for orientation, we never once went back on our word to you, but carriers cannot tolerate just everything/anything. This a business and many people’s families are involved. If you don’t like a companies rules/policies, it’s best to just move onto a company you do like. Just as carrier has a right to let go of a driver who isn’t a good fit for their company. But, please remember that you will not find a single company who doesn’t have company policies in place, within the trucking industry or outside of it.

This will be our final communication on this matter. Your last settlement will be sent via email when due.


Thank you and take care.

This:

 

"You must do PTI before driving after your 10 hour break and not while you are fueling or being loaded or unloading. This is a MUST! It cannot be less then 15 minutes or else they come down like a sledgehammer on a fly!"

I can't believe the drivers here didn't point this out. PRE-TRIP is done...wait for it...before driving. PRE...trip. Unless there's a legal reason to do so, you cannot drive unless it is done and logged BEFORE moving the rig. It's in the name!! Yet, you deride that as if it's unreasonable. Do you even know WHY it's done that way? I think that's obvious, but apparently not to some.

This alone (even without the employer's responses) told me you are a nightmare to employ.

 

Why does the safety chick sound more reasonable than the OP?

 

Clearly, this company is not for you. Perhaps they made it more difficult for you to work for them. Perhaps you were a difficult employee. Could be that both parties were to blame in some instances.
You said your piece about them, likewise a representative from the company stated their views about your time there.
It's time to move on now...
