Landspan

well I am not saying they are bad...just gonna give some info and let you decide if this is somewhere you would wanna work.

we used to work for them back in 05 for a short period of time and left for personal reasons (daughter) so we thought we would give them a try again.

when we went to pu our trk it was disgusting and we refused to get in it til it was detailed....the pet urine odor slapped you in the face when you opened the door...so they had us take it to volvo to have it cleaned. well they charged for it...to vacuum the floor...we spec req the carpet and all upol. be shampooed not just vacuumed....anyway thats not landspans fault...they did try but didnt offer to rectify when we told then it hadnt been done properly.

anyway got the trk back the next day....didnt smell half bad...thats only cuz they had left the sleeper windows open....got in it, and took back to truck stop, spent an additional 15 hrs cleaning....including hubby cleaning out animal waste out of closets....scrubbed carpet with pet odor stain remover several times and put down 2 boxes of baking soda..then put rubber backed bath mats over it and air fresh. everywhere.

now if you went and looked at a motel or a house like this...would you stay there ???? can u see on of the higher ups sleeping a NIGHT in those cond???? cabinet doors we RIPPED of the cabinets..drawers wouldnt stay closed and fell out when u made a turn...needed new steer tires..generator wouldnt work..ALL of this was reported to maint. he said, we will deal with it at one of our shops...

so we did a short load, then a coast load....started having more vibration in the front end...steer tires were getting BAD...to the point of NOT passing insp. so we went into TA and they auth tires..BUT wanted shop to put TRAILER TIRES on for steer tires..husband said NO WAY...anyway got that handled...then trk started overheating...had plenty of coolant...(the egr cooler was going out didnt kow that yet tho) del San Fran area then dh to LA....got load picked up, 40 mi later trk shut down...low coolant ...no warning..nothing....couldnt see a leak when parked etc...stopped added more...40 mi later same thing...anyway, went back to fontana shop..got there on a fri...wouldnt even look at trk til monday...ok i know breakdown happens...have had a new trk that the 1st wk blew 2 injectors...so it happens....asked for a motel, since u arent sup to idle and apu didnt work...they said no....but will give u keys to a spare driver ready truck...i said " yeah like this one was right?" no thanks....so finally monday comes they put trk in shop asked again for a motel they told us NO even tho it was gonna be in the shop til at LEAST the next day....so i called in and asked whats the deal...they told us that "sure anytime we can save money on a room and let you sleep in another truck they are going to do so, instead of $70 a night for a room"....

we have NEVER been treated this way...we complained about the condition of the truck...got blown off....the filth and animal waste, the cabinets etc...blown off....motel for breakdown...blown off......got out of shop and 2 days...no load....so we quit....and there we SEVERAL other drivers there at yard ALL looking for another job for the very same if not WORSE conditons of the truck than we had....we had 12 people in orientation 2 solos the rest team...1 solo and 1 team from class were there.. BROKE DOWN and they were quiting too...all within A WK...even the shop will tell you, that the trucks spend more time in the shop than running....the choice is yours but dont say you werent warned....

oh yeah, you also have to pay a cleaning deposit of $62.50 per driver per wk for 4 wks...plus a $400.00 pet deposit...

 

orientation lady said they would pay us ...maint said he would pay 4 hrs each...have yet to see it....but if it is indeed on pay sheet...I will list it once I find out, if they did, but accord. to what was put in my acct, versus what shoulda been...doesnt look like it

 

yeah ...lol probably...went back to IDC, hard to say no to $0.50 a mile and 5000+ miles a wk...

 

wow!!....well that sounds about right tho...4400 miles for THE MONTH??? thats crazy...you should be doing more than that in a week....well I hope things are better for you guys now!!! Be safe and Happy Holidays!!!
