Tinman's A.C.T. experience....

Slow week last week (holidays) only 1908 miles. Made $885 after all expenses. $250 of that was sign on bonus pmt.. Done only three loads all were 40k lbs +. I'm pretty pleased with that.

 

This venture failed.Not a big surprise.A couple former drivers told me exactly what woulde happen and it did(to the letter) I knew the risks going into this..Waiting to see how honest ACT is with my final settlement.. More to come..

 

I will let you know all the details when everything is over.. The contract is of course designed to benifit the company. I have been getting weekly bills as the contract stated.. I was told I would average 2300 miles a week. I had two weeks out of 6 over 2000 miles. I went home every weekend (not by choice, routed home). I exhausted my savings trying to hold on and be patient like they asked..Then I talked to some company drivers that were getting 3000 miles a week while i was being starved out. That was the final straw. I averaged 8+MPG 100% on time never refused a Disp.. I dont know what the end result is gonna be it looks an over all a bad experience. I just want my maint. and &1000 escroll and I will be satisfied because they didnt give me the miles they said they would. That in my opinion makes the contract worthless in a moral court.. I done my part.

 

I didnt say anything about being happy.. Not many nearly broke people are happy.. There were over fourty happy people quiting when i quit... the trucks were in the yard to prove it..Just do the right thing and i will be on my way..ACT didnt hold up their end of the deal.
