This has got to be the worst Company i have ever driven for, they are all liars from the recruiters on down the line, I was told 34cpm but after orientation it came down to 32.. I only lasted 2 weeks that was enough for me & how about the $15 tarp pay what a joke!!! & the best was the Long Island N.Y to Lowellville Ohio garbage run. if I want to haul garbage I'll get a job with the City Of Atlanta!!!! I told my DM I was bringing truck to terminal to turn it in she informed me I had to pickup a load in order to bring it to a terminal, I did not have the timbers or straps cause my load was T-called & the other driver didn't have any, I told her i was not getting it loaded they had a choice either I bring it to Terminal or the Pilot parking lot, I left it at the Pilot!!! they tried to hold my last check for truck recovery but the DOT safety admin on load securement for my DM trying to force me to pickup a load I could not properly secure & Dept of Labor wage & hour says different, they will be sending me a check.... They are not on real good graces with the DOT anyway. I would advise any driver new or experience to stay away from the crooks

Guess I'm on the same page as everyone here. 2 friggen weeks??? Abandoning the truck at a place they didn't authorize? I once left a truck in a truckstop but that was at the direction of Swift and did not have a problem with my DAC. Not the right stuff for the load? You know how many times I was sent for a load and had to buy dunnage but was then re-imbursed after calling my boss first? It's not unusual in flatbedding.
You sound like a problem driver to me. I think that THEY are lucky to be rid of YOU not the other way around. You walked in with an attitude and it sunk you.
Your not going to get any love from this corner my friend. -

u should leave the truck at the terminal and hand the keys to the shop at least,no if somebody steal or break on that truck guess what is gonna be on you.
fancypants Thanks this. -
I had to re read this just for a good LOL.
Nice abandonment. Good luck getting another job.
