Hurricane Express Stay Away!!! Lies Lies Lies!!

Stay away from Hurricane Express in Springdale AR. They will lie to you just to get you to come to work. They promise 3500 miles a week but fail to tell you that is one way....have to complete 1 round to get a pay check.. Literally coast (maine) to Coast (Cali). Ran from midwest to Cali and back twice...along with sitting a few days said they didnt have anything. Dont ask for anything else or they will fire you. and report to DAC that you abandoned the truck, late deliveries.. anything negative. along with canceling a payroll check, ($352.00) So they can get there $1,000.00 Abandonment charge and then they reissued a check for $89.00 for work done Feb 1st to Feb 24th. They make you sign a lease agreement on the truck @95.00 a day. I could go on and on but this is just a summary....leave a message if any questions... I have since filed a complaint to the IRS and the Arkansas Dept of Labor..and will be going to small claims if need be. Just stay away this company has caused my family alot of financial Stress.

 

They Tell you all this good stuff but they leave the bad part out! I have since put our Dually back to work. Tired of all the bull that goes with the road tractors. I prefer not being a company driver, Need more money. Hauling cars is alot better cause you have something they want, they dont have to make room for it....Not saying trucks havent been good to us thru the years, but just had my share of bad companies lately!
Thanks for the reply!

 

They run you coast to coast and you get paid after a round. =
2 days get loaded on coast
4 days to get to other coast
2 days unload/load
4 days back to coast
12 Days @ 95.00 a day = 1140.00

there load coast to coast only pays 4500.00 including fuel surcharge x 2 = 9000.00 @ 71%
=6390.00
-1140.00 Payment
5250.00
-5400.00 Fuel (approx $2800.00 1 way x 2) Got to love the price of fuel!
u owe them 150.00 Not to mention any Insurance, Breakdown, Tires , Tolls........

there loads dont ever pay more than 4500.00 one way because of a winter rate they bank what it pays over that and in winter if loads go under that u still get that...It doesnt make since because we would get that from Cali to St.L when i had my truck.
But they dont tell you any of this until you have already been there. and of corse you always try too think positive " maybe I can run an extra one......" all u know that. Life in this business i guess!

 

The fuel is from cali to maine. The fuel is going by what he ran just to here (Midwest) He would not ever take a maine that is why he was only there for 1 month and ran two trips, he asked if they had anything else and they fired him. They are the most shadddiest we have ever seen and we have been leased to some shaddy outlaws....and yes he runs from home (Southern Ill) to cali and back in 6 days if everything goes off and on good. he is with a company know but getting out of the whole they put us in and now to find out they put a bad report on his 13 year good Dac, pisses me off, but i WILL get them to take it off, Im not a dummy and i have been to the labor board and court with a few other companies that tried to be shaddy and im going again! I keep all paperwork.. just wish hubby would have left when they gave him the papers to sign but i can still fight it, and as for a 401K we have IRA's the benefits dont mean to much to me if it doesnt pay the bills. We werent meant to have our own....we have done it so many times it isnt even funny.. Starts out good but ends bad.. but this time it didnt even start out good...There was No good.

they also tell you their freight pays 1.60-2.10 mi. plus fuel
