    Just started here 3 days ago. Figured they outta Florida they have to be better then a Serbian company from Chicago. Nope they Uzbekistan and far more ruthless.

    Flat out expecting me to run 1000-1200 miles daily
    Contract has 4 pages of deductions for driver mishaps

    Ok hers your load its 950 miles the shipper is 100 miles away and loading apt is in 15 min. You have 21 hours till delivery
    Immediately followed by a reminder
    That late pickup is $1000 dollar deduction a late delivery is $700 deduction and if you forget to send a picture of trailer loaded and or unloaded thats a $200 deduction.

    When told im not willing to break the law for you

    "Why whats the problem?
    I can do 5-600 miles a day

    "Oh so for the first week or so till you get used to how we run your willing to run 7-800 miles a day?"

    No, thats not at all what I said

    Is this really all I can expect to find as a sap driver? If anyone knows anything better let me know.

    How many days of running team loads solo do you need to decide weather or not they are a toxic company?

    If I read similar in a contract, I would not have signed. Lease/purchase paid on a 1099, I presume?

    Unfortunately, yes. The minute you get a blemish as bad as a positive drug screen, you get screwed up for some years. I did get lucky and land a job hauling beverages a short time after I failed. I did get lucky though. I have to emphasize that. Kept that job til I got fired. Then I had to work for those types of companies for some years. The rules were different years ago. These days, I'm not so sure it isn't better to just get all the way out of the game for a few years and start all over. Reputable companies won't even look at a driver for a minimum 3 years, even after completing SAP. That rule was the same back then. I didn't go through SAP because they didn't require it. Time healed everything. Now you need 3 years after the fail to pass, plus SAP completion. Some companies won't even hire a driver even after they've gone through SAP. Positive drug screens are so devastating, and takes some years to recover from.
     
    TB John and Lonesome Thank this.

    How many drug test have you failed? Because it sounds like multiple.
