Baylor Trucking Milan, Indiana

I droe for Baylor for 1 year. When i started i got great miles, then i got put into a truck with computer logs. I was one of the first to go on computer logs and was given 2 weeks to figure it out.(nobody there really knew how to work them) I was given a sheet with instructions. I had to do paper for 2 weeks then go to computer. After my 2 week self taught lessons i was on my own. About 1 month later i was called into saftey and given 3 days off for running over hrs. I told them that was the way i was dispatched and saftey told me i should have refused the loads. I tried that and i was told the "planners" said i had the hrs. so i had to take it. So i did and thats why i got the time off. Another load i got was to one of their best clients, I told them i didnt have the hrs. and was told to take it anyway, so i did and delivered 15 min. late so i got fired for it. At least now i have a good job.

 

So you are somehow more manly if you waste your day driving around NYC or LI?. Glad you think so, that way I can take your loads and money and head out to the plains while you are creeping down the street.

I used to go out to long island all the time. we had a yard in Bayonne and if I got stuck there on a weekend they would alway give you a load out there. But I have to say I never felt any more manly for doing it.

By the way if lazy is burning through Nebraska and Wyoming at 70mph? Then I am glad to be the laziest SOB around.

Congrats, you just received the fail of the day award for providing one of the most illogical reasons for a OTR driver to go sit in traffic.

 

50+ a year. Mechanics that give a ####? Safety dept that wants you to be legal? What's the problem here? I don't see it.... NYC is really not that bad by the way. Sign me up!

 

Don't work for Baylor...... I worked for them from June 2010 to Oct 2010 when they fired me for refusing to drive an unsafe truck (I failed and determined the truck unsafe on my PTI & 2 mechanics in their Portland shop agreed with me) This company will promise you almost anything and even put it in writing to get you to oreintation and in a truck, then after you are there and a couple of weeks go by with everything going like you were told they stop and everything changes. I was on home time and tried to do my dispatcher a favor and save his ### on a load thinking that he would get me back home after this load to finish the home time that was promised to me, but that never happen. It was also this dispatcher that was the person that fired me 2 weeks later. The Baylor's that own this company Bob & Betty only care about their family and no else. Bob is the biggest ######### I have ever met in my life. I had him treaten to fire me my first week I was there, because I refused to drive a truck without any A/C, I told him straight to his face & also with a couple of mechanics & other drivers standing close by "he didn't have the balls to fire me & all he had to do was say those two words & I would be happy to go home & collect unemployed off of his dumb ###" Betty his wife walked up and told him to just get my truck fixed, because even he wouldn't have drove a truck without A/C in it. I am still to this day sitting at home collecting my unemployment check of $572 a week off of their dumb ###'.

 

So over a year and you are still living on goverment. Opps our tax dollars. Go get a job...

 

DAC has changed its name due to so much negative discussion-this way they seem more formal. They changed thier name (don't have it right now) to something with 'federal' but they are nothing more than an independent tracking company. That's right! Most drivers think they are federal-but its a private company making money tracking drivers. You can find their new name on the internet-then read carefully about their organization and you will find they are just a company and no federal affiliation whatsoever. They will send you one free report with all the companies that have sent info to them. By law-they are only supposed to report when you worked there-but they state any violations, accidents, abandoned trucks etc even when they are not allowed to do so. They got into so much trouble with the feds they had to change their name. Anyhow, for those who don't know about the former "DAC" they have nothing to do nor are they a federal agency-just a private company making money by selling your info to trucking companies.

 

When I ran NYC and got to a low underpass or 'no trucks allowed' street, and could not find my way-I just called the police and requested assistance. I told them I am trying to prevent an accident. Two different times they sent a squad car out and he held back traffic whist I backed 2 blocks. Then both times they had me follow them to the receiver-AT NO CHARGE! Hope this might help next time. (PS-never ever abandon a truck!!!) The next company may call your last one and you will never get hired over it. veni venni vichi!

 

Drivers-DAC is really 'Hireright' by name, a private company out of Tulsa. If there is something on your DAC (you can request one per lifetime free) it has to be fact. Most reports are only copied from what the former trucking company submits. All you have to do is have some proof it is not true (non-citable accidents, taped recordings from dispatch, witness at the time of your termination who will submit a testimony on your behalf and any other kind of proof) and it will be take off DAC. They have nothing to do with the federal government. There is also a list of things you can do to fight the companies under the Federal Trade Commission (such as knowing that any company must provid). Hope you guys look into this and don't let DAC scare you-only private company making money off your background info.

 

They are worse than BAD! They are a TERRIBLE COMPANY!

 

Is that right? Do tell.....
