Challenger - Canadian Runs.

I drive for cmf the 17 years, long time ago it was a great place to work; well not anymore. You have great expectation, they mainly run volvo an freight truck. Some dispatch are sob who will tell you any kind of thing to have you to move the load, then when it's time to hold their promises they do lost their memory.

They do some heavy load out there, reefer tridem. I don't know much about regular run, one thing is that all the official dedicated run have been abolish so they can have greater flexibililty from the Drivers, yeah b/s.

So I don't know where you work now but you should think twice before meking a move at cmf. One very last thing we are under a Teamsters campaign to have Teamsters on board at cmf, we are tired that management dicide to cut in our salary an working conditions!

Good luck!

 

Tank....talk to some of their B.C. based drivers if you can. You won't get a solid reply around here.

 

What do you mean " You won't get a solid reply around here" ???

Mule's answer was a no BS answer.
Not politicaly correct but based on experience of what is realy going on there.

 

Ratfink and Mule Bleue where part of the group trying to get the union in at Challenger, so their comments won't be very favourable.

 

It was a very good company to work for, 15 years ago.
I always said that, and I do mean it.

I remember dispatchers working with you and communicating very well and you could make good miles.

Now??? it's just another large carrier just like schneider, jb hunt etc and like any other large carriers, driver is just warm meat holding the steering wheel.

All this union thing started because of a few clowns in dorval managment.

Maybe in vancouver things are better, I dont know, but in dorval, managment attitude is crap. And by the way, clowns are still pizzing off drivers with their arrogance and insignifiant little power trip.

IF you take the time to read what I've been saying, or look at a very long thread made about challenger and union, you will see that I asked over and over how could we change things in OTR? or did someone had any other way to make thing better instead of whining in different forums like I've been reading for years.

Sorry no BS, this is the way things are.

If you think I'm exagerating? no big deal but just ask yourself "why is the turnover so high?"

 

Anything I read on this forum about JM Schneider spoke of them as a good company. Your "driver is just warm meat" comment is inaccurate.

 

He's not talking about Schneider the meat company.

Even if it not what may be what some personn would like to ear, it is better tell my point of view then trying to lie to someone.

Sure some peoples still like to work and are happy at cmf , but it ain't my case for now and anyone who ask I will tell them the way I see it and they can make their own decision and judgement!
