    Ricochet Express- Shipenville pa near Clarion
    My previous post was titled Look at this
    I go into the terminal today to get my truck that had been in the shop over the weekend for A/C being fixed. Truck not done
    They tell me to take my oringanally assigned truck. (Ive been there 3 weeks)
    This truck (Oringinal truck assigned to me) blew a turbo and had the head replaced......Anyhow, I get into the truck and I see a 64 ounce soda cup filled with chew spit, trash all over the floor and my bed sheets all messed up like someone just rolled out of my bed.
    I asked the mechanic, "who's spit cup is this?" he said it's Dave's, (who is the owner of the company). I said to him, "this is sick". The mechanic said to me "Dave owns the truck". Let me say this .....I understand if the owner of the company owns the trucks.....but isn't there something called respect for someone elses personal space? Anyhow, the owner Dave had been driving it for a week and was sleeping on my sheets and blankets and hogging up my assigned truck. Let me tell you this, he has blackheads on his forehead that are so big that you could take a pair of vice grips and would have difficulty popping them! Plus, he is extemely greasy looking! Thats gross when that person is sleeping in your bedding...

    So I went back into the office after seeing this and told him that I was done with the company and walked out. As I did this, he and the other 3 people sitting with him in the office laughed at me as I walked out. This has to be one of the most degrading things that could happen to a guy with 7 yrs under his belt. Let alone 7 days.........

    Dumping the spit cup on the desk would have stopped the laughter cold.:biggrin_2559:

    ^^That's what I would've done. That sounds like a very non-professional company, I probably wouldn't have gone there in the first place, but since you did... don't let this experience discourage you. There are TONS of great companies out there. Now get out there and find the one that's right for you! Good luck.

    Wouldn't that be a hygenine issue? Could you call and report them to someone, like OOSHA or something - that's just not right!

    Richochet Express, huh? Sounds like this company is living down its namesake, which is no surprise. It's good, though. Companies SHOULD have names that reflect what they are. Sounds like some people there have had too high a dose of carbon monoxide in the past.

    I'd never think of working for such a dump. Trash like these losers make the rest of us look bad, I cant stand the fact so many drivers and companys are soooo trashy and dirty, I got zero respect for dirtdags. Take some Pride in your self.

    I am not calling out anyone on this forum, just generalizing they know who they are.

    I will call the owner and ask him if he plans on mailing my last check to me. I would assume he has at least a pea sized brain which would be enough in capacity to help him understand why I quit. If he gives me crap, I will report him to the department of labor (to get my check), report him to OSHA if applicable (pertaining to health issues in the trucks in his fleet which are all HIS). I'm glad I took photos to prove what I have said!
    Just picture the dirtiest person you can imagine sleeping in a bed that you made for yourself, trash all over the floor, and a 64 ounce plastic soda cup filled with paper towels and chew spit just waiting for you to make your home in it for a week until you crawl into your next new truck (mess) the next week after something goes wrong with your truck AGAIN! I truly want to report this moron but who knows if he is a nut case. Any Ideas?

    If the owner screws you over, just file a wage claim against him. I've done that twice and am undefeated at 2-0. I've gotten over 700 bucks of MY money doing that. You'll need to visit the labor board for your area to file a claim. Anything he withholds will be considered an "illegal deduction" unless you gave him permission to do that when you hired on. If you signed a form that states he can do it, you'll be SOL if he does. More than likely, you didn't, so get ready to visit the ol' local labor-board folks. He IS going to screw you somehow. You know it. I know it. We all know it.
