Navajo Express, Inc. - Denver, Co.

@ American Trucker

Right. Well that's all fine and dandy if you live near a terminal. Not living near a terminal on the other hand, driving my POV or taking the Greyhound several hours away is a no go. That's why I'm glad USA has a take home policy. If they told me I had to get myself home from Van Buren, AR or Denton, TX (nearest terminals) back to Lufkin for home time, I'd laugh myself into a coughing fit.

And yes I do think that's a rather big deal. I don't make enough at this job anyways to shuttle myself around out of my way out of pocket for home time, as if it were a privilege that I should be eternally grateful for. At $.27 a mile, I'm on prisoners rations just to make the mortgage note, wife note, and kid note. So the least a company can do for me is allow me to take the truck home.

 

I ignored everything I read on here about Navajo and went to work for them anyway. But it was all true, bad miles, equipment that looks good but breaks all the time. Don't let the recruiter lie to you, they make you choose between sleep and driving safely and making money. I wouldn't recommend Navajo, Digby, Shippers West, ACT or any other Navajo company to anyone serious about trucking.

 

Think the info u have provided is good always lookn around I haul dryvan butt if the dough is good an miles r good then I bee good

 

The company is not owed loyalty, they earn it.

No miles, no money, no give a carp about company.

To many companies hiring folks when they can't even run the ones they got.

I would bet my life that if the GOV said to these OTR trucking outfits, in 1 month you will need to pay all your drivers a minimum of 2500 miles per week or trim the fat. The companies would stop hiring drivers to be used as casuals and calling them full time workers.

 

Did you guys have a problem getting your last check?

 

Florilli is a horrible company. There was a guy there a year and a half and had already had the 16th most time in out of 200+ drivers by the time he quit.

 

I figured there stupid looking design on there trucks with the fake indian on the door would be enough to rule out working for them.

 

Can someone help me out with this one?

It's an interesting story to say the least.....but i can't make heads or tails of it, as far as where it begins and ends.

Did the guy haul a "Hep-C" contaminated seat in the trailer?
Did the guy sit on a shrink wrapped "Hep-C" seat to Denver?
When the dispatcher said "rip that s##$ off of there and get moving"....were they talking about the shrink wrap off the seat.....or the seat off the trialer?

Let's try and figure this one out----just too good a story to blow off or pass by.

 

My husband hauled the "seat" that was shrinkwrapped in the passenger seat. His dispatcher said rip the bio-hazard stickers off the truck and get moving. The "seat" was thrown behind a building in Denver and no one wanted to touch it... By the way when my husband quit Cargo, 5 months after he quit Dennis the owner sent him a letter saying my husband owed 2,000 dollars for damages to equipment. No statement, no itemized bill, no explanation whatsoever...We have gotten a couple of calls from a collection agency and we told them to get bent. Still have no idea what the 2,000 dollars is for...

 

DO NOT keep telling them to get bent! You need to find out everything they are asking for because they can and will take you to court and it will not be a pretty picture!

You need to document as much as you can in this before some judge gives your life away!

Never ever disregard a collection agency! They can haunt your life worse than anything you can imagine and destroy it far worse.
