DAC for Earl L. Henderson

Let us know how it goes......

 

my pay is 90 when i started

 

Mike, I am pretty sure that he told me .94, then deduct the escrow from that. If I was looking at an older truck, then it would have been .04/mi.

Also told me that at the end of the month, everything will be moved to the new place, and that Salem will be more like a satelite terminal. If I remember, Caseyville, IL. Hope that truckergal will have some good information for us. I have some more questions to ask, and some statements, like the first time that I go into the hole, and it is the planners or Dispatchers fault, I will forgive once, second time, trk is getting returned.

 

I beg to differ here, I work there too, and I am a company driver.

 

So whats up? Are they going to 100% lease?

 

who knows what they are going to do, but I have in the last month or two met both new lease drivers and new company drivers.

Of course I don't know what they do today. We are getting these fancy new trucks in, so someone has to pay for them.

But I guess they still need someone for the chewed up older trucks, like the one I am in.

 

No issue getting anything taken care off. The one and only issue I have is the last truck I had, which had air leaks, for the entire 11 months I was in it. I had it in the shop about a dozen times, and things got fixed, but never all of them. I never did find out why it was leaking so bad, they about replaced everything that could be leaking.

I have been put in a hotel every night because my APU quit in the summer until I could get it fixed (truck didn't idle), been towed because I deemed it unsafe (air leak again), replaced tires that I said where not safe. My judgment has been trusted and all repairs where taken care of when needed.

My truck now has 693.xxx miles on it, and is just a good running truck. Unfortunately the driver before me was a pig, and no amount of cleaning will ever get the carpets clean, and I am still wiping the walls down because he was a chain smoker that didn't understand the concept of an ash tray.

I don't even want a new truck, too much responsibility. Well, maybe the brand new Cascadia's they have Thermoking TriPaks on them which I believe work a ton better than the Carrier.

Welcome to the company, if you ever see a Columbia with a Golden Retriever sitting up front looking all bummed out, that will be my pup Rufus.

 

when two years ago they got ride of company drivers and i didnt know we started company drivers again last time i was in the hole it was in stlouis for 1 week sitting in the flying g and we also got a new terminal in stlouis and i guess caseyville il o and i got one of the new cascadias its pretty nice better than the old 2009 ones

 

Mike, they didn't get rid of all company drivers, I don't know how many there are of us, but most people I know and talk to are company, not lease. I have been here 2 years and 4 months and was not let go or forced to team or lease.
