Hoosier Tradewinds

Funny thing is, I haven't seen them on here for awhile...Maybe they're giving up trying to defend themselves...I wonder if they still have the original dispatchers in there? DJ and Tim seemed pretty decent...

 

They might not have paid their internet bill, HAHAHAHAHAHA! I know DJ still worked there when I left March 1st,can't remember a Tim. Would ask the last name, but the powers that be on here will delete it. I think H.T. got to them when it was getting pretty heated back at end of Feb. and beginning of March because moderator was watching this thread like a hawk. They probably complained and wanted them deleted like the Nazis they are. That ol' first amendment really bit them in the rear and will hopefully continue to do so until they are gone.

 

All the internet, cars, etc are a luxury, they won't let them fail

 

Just got a call from another driver, Said they have had 6 trucks repo'ed this weekend

 

I am not shocked - It's only a matter of time. I have too many friends in the business that say they owe soooooo many companies. Lease, recovery, maintaince, state and federal taxes...
Keep covering everything up guys....
What's the Bible say....?...."this too will pass..." NOPE - Not this time, you've all have messed with too many people's lives....
Your time is due...

 

Just as an outsider (now, thank God), when you see people like this, how in the world would their employees still be there. I don't get it.

 

I am gonna go out on a limb here and say that the 6 trucks they had repossessed were the 6 yellow Pete 389's they bought about a year and a half ago? Just a guess. Hope nobody was doing a lease purchase on any of the 6 that were taken cause you know if they were then I am sure they were bent over with no lubrication. I got a kick out of it today 5/25/11 headed up to South Bend IN on 31 and saw one of their trailers on the back of a wrecker between Plymouth and South Bend at a tow yard. Broke down? Maybe. Repossessed? That's where I would lay my money. The time for their demise is soon approaching. Their very own rapture, if you will. Fitting for a Christian company don't ya think?

 

Are they or did they ever get their supposed flatbed endeavor going? If so are they running under a different name or something cause I have yet to ever see one. Every time I see one it's a van. Every time I go to Lowe's in Burton MI I see one because there's a Discount Tire in front of it and there has been one in there the last 2 or 3 times I've gone there. I see it and chuckle to myself. Can't believe drivers do those back breaking tire loads. I did maybe 5 and told them (Corey at the time) I was not doing another. I was a driver not an unloader. The only ones I got after that was the ones that went up to East Haven CT to Town Fair Tire where they would have a lumper. I didn't care what was back there as long as I didn't have to touch it. The only thing I would unload was the Maax loads cause they weren't bad and they were so light I could get some good mileage which was a rarity with them. They got to where just about everything was 44,000 consistently and it was killing me. My fuel average was about 5.8 with them in a little over a year. Since I started with this new company my average is now right on the money at 7. I am positive I would have gone bankrupt with them if I had stayed on much longer with the fuel price spike that occurred since I left. Now I hate seeing the price go down cause I make less money than when it goes up. Never thought I would say that.

 

no from what I understand it was some of the white trucks. They can't get the flatbed part going because they won't pay tolls. they take 20% of everything so they can't get anyone to work for them.

 

Yeah they started the not paying tolls right before I left. They expected their drivers to pay the tolls for them I guess. Some of their loads you had no choice but to run the toll roads (like the Camp Hill Appleton Paper loads) so not sure how that worked for them. Didn't figure the flatbed deal was working since hadn't seen any. Never saw any white trucks that looked new enough to be repo'd. They were all beat to hell and back from what I saw. Did they buy some new ones?
