2 More Companies Shutting Down

I worked for both of them and I can say both turned out to be trash..

 

Just saw a Minstar truck going in the shop for service here at the Petro in Ocala.

 

What made them trash? My curiosity looms.......

 

Transport designs while their dispatch was good their maintenance outright sucked..constant breakdowns an even as told by one of the owners Leonard that he was letting me go due to “you’re breaking down too much”..even though I was driving a company trucks… they also put on the dac report when somebody swerved towards me south of Minneapolis there was no contact but they stopped on the shoulder of the road so I called it in to make sure these people wouldn’t call in a scam cause I had brand new quarter fenders literally installed a half an hour prior to that and there was no damage but they put on the dac report a non-contact non-preventable accident… how on earth can it be an accident if there’s no contact… It’s crap like that.

now as far as minstar dispatch sucked and they were also playing a Ponzi scheme with their trucks regarding their lease deal for on drivers they were saying they had to pay down their deposit and then as soon as you get near the paying off the deposit, they are $1000 back in the hole again and they would continue to do that to drivers. I seen that firsthand ..

Someone said on another thread Great Plains is out of biz too

 

I used to see alot if minstar at the kubota plant. I wonder who undercut them.

 

I applied to Transport Design once. Then I read about them on the internet and ghosted the recruiter.
