Gilster Mary-Lee

And hopefully you are now employed somewhere else or seeking that employment with another turcking company?

 

Thats pretty much how the trucking industry is.Sad but true.

 

Hadn't heard of Gilster for quite some time. I was at a food delivery place in Seattle a number of years ago and a Gilster showed up with a load of coffeecake mix. It was all over the floor and the customer refused some of the cases. The driver was giving it out to anyone that wanted it. I asked him if he was going to take some and he told me that he had cases of food at home and took them from the truck and just put a short on the bills. Did not impress me much if that was the type of driver the company employed.

 

Didn't mean to imply you did this Outlaws87 as good drivers hire onto companies all the time and don't know what they are getting into to. I was surprised that this driver did this. I've worked at a couple of companies that claimed damaged freight and just gave it to you if you wanted it or had you throw it if you had to go get another load. Never talked to someone that outright stole stuff like that and was so cavalier about it.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I was actually looking at them but decided not to go after seeing how ratty looking the trucks are.

 

Yeah I don't remember seeing any nice trucks with them. Mostly the purple and blue columbias with the stripes and everyone looks like ####. I went by the steeleville yard the other night and was quickly reminded why i chose not to go with them.

 

I picked up a load in Mcbride, MO two days ago and I saw they had pretty decent-looking trucks and a big dispatch area. I guess looks can be deceiving.
