First and foremost, driving for de Boer means you will NOT be paid a fair wage. Where most companies will pay you 35-38 cents a mile, THEY will pay you 32.5. Dispatch is bordering on incompetent, so you'll be lucky to clear 2000 miles from sunday night to friday night. You'll find yourself being ambushed with an unexpected 10 hour break, right after you just finished one, so you can cover a load that dispatch forgot about.
Second and even more important, when you get a better offer from another company, no matter what you do to leave, they will try to send you as far as possible from home when it's time to quit and forget how to get you back, or if you turn down that final load, they'll LIE and put a "quit under dispatch" on your DAC report. Now, I was under the understanding that you're only considered "under dispatch" if you send the "load acknowlegement" macro. Fortunately, most reputable companies "know how de Boer operates" (re: Bottom Feeder Transport).
And to think I was GRATEFUL to these A-holes for "helping" me get my foot back in the door. I'm off to orientation on monday for 40 cpm practical vs the 32.5 hhmg I was getting from BFT.
If you go to work for these douche bags, watch your back. Everyone needs a second chance, but make sure you have a job completely lined up before you leave, or you might not get another one.
I will be contacting an attorney to sue for defamation of character.
