Link America Local - Bad Company All Around

Couple things:
* I was making the same cpm and I had just a year and a half experience.
* My truck was a 2010 and I absolutely loved it
* I accidentally damaged one of their trailers. (one of the silver ones). The lady in safety tried to tell me that trailer was brand new. I'm sure when it was first made it was brand new. It wasn't brand new now....
* They did put some incorrect things on my DAC but I petitioned through HireRight and got them removed so they didn't wreck my DAC.
*They had me on 2 back to back loads. Half way through the first trip they sent me a "Load cancellation" macro. So I got done with my first trip and I took a 10. Got a nasty phone call a few hours later asking why I wasn't picking up the other load. I said "You sent me a load cancelled macro." They said "That was just to let you know to do the other trip first. You're still on the other trip and you need to go pick that load up right now!"

..so why didn't dispatch just send a free form message instead of a load cancellation macro? I don't know either. That was the start of the downward spiral with them.

I heard a rumor that Mike Brooks was looking to cancel their deal with Link and get his trucks and trailers back. I'd love to run with them again. I liked being known by name instead of just my truck number.

 

I understand that...our kids are grown now...but have been in your shoes .. I wish I could tell you a good place to go...but we are looking for that ourselves...lol ,I know there has to be good companies out there....just seem hard to find, and we have 2 small dogs...a lot of places wont let ya bring em cuz someone, somewhere before ruined that for the rest of us....GOOD LUCK THO....and be safe..

 

My husband was gonna go work for them but after orientation and the run around he got about his truck, he told them nevermind. OH and a major red flag, they didn't even give them driving tests!! He was going to do the Texas, LA area but not now.

 

I know someone who drives for them.
