    I posted this under the Buske, Hollywood FL post.....

    "Lied about what kind of trucks they had available. Said they have Volvo's, Columbias and KW (t900)'s. After finding out all they had available was the KW's I had to drive one for my road test. I'm 5'0" and I couldnt see over the curve in the dash. I tried to adjust my seat up, but then I couldnt reach the pedals. And this truck was SMALL. Super tiny. No cabinets, desk or top bunk. No room to store anything. I hate to have to pass on a job just because the equipment sucked but theres no way I could drive it safely or live in it comfortably.

    I'm going to continue with orientation, but if they dont have another truck available, I'm going have to wait for one and continue job hunting in the mean-time."

    Like copoguy said, they are dreadful when it comes to repairs! I was lucky to not have any issues with my truck in the short time that I was there, but several other of my friends were not so fortunate. I've heard of drivers begging Buske to get them into a shop to repair DOT offenses, malfunctioning A/C's and heaters and some general unsafe issues. Plus they like to hand out service failures for things that can be proven to not be the drivers' faults. From personal experience, I would not recommend Buske.

    Good to see drivers pegging the defects of these companies, so that other drivers avoid the pitfall of signing on with these scrubs.................................. never worked for these losers and couldn't care less on a personal level, except to see that other drivers are well-informed about these scrubs. "GRACIAS, AMIGOS!!!!!!!!!!! HASTA LUEGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (No, I don't hail from down south, just borrowing those lines from an old Western or two............................ "10-FO'?????????").

    I Googled Buske and found out some "interesting" stuff about them and fraud against S.C. Johnson.
    No wonder they are such a crappy company, I know they have been around forever but this takes the cake.

    Why don't you google further and find out that S.C. Johnson now owns Buske due to the fraud case.
