Boro Enterprises

Making you sleep in a car? That is horrible. I hope you are not there anymore.

 

The first truck I drove for my Uncle was like that, '83 western star, snow would drift around my feet in the winter, didn't complain(much) though, he was family and I didn't know any better

 

Can I tell you its your own fault if you did it! I mean if my boss said something like that load and all is headed to the house. Thats after I call an eight hundred number and inform DOT of this. Like I said at the beginning its you fault if you slept in a car.

 

Hey, I would like everyone to know that I am a former employee of Boro Enterprises, and I know the individual that made this post. He lost his job there, and was a very heavy drinker at the time, so you can take what he says with a grain of salt. If this were true, it certainly isn't the case anymore, because I know Bob sold that truck, and he treats his employees very well and is a fair and honest employer. I would not pay any attention to this post if it were me. I can assure you that you will not be subjected to these conditions, and will make considerably more money. The last time I checked, all of his trucks were now sleeper trucks, so that is not an issue. The guy was obviously drunk when he wrote this. I would recommend Boro Enterprises in a heartbeat. It is the number one job that I left, and I regret it to this day. If I had it to do over again, I would have never left. Anyone seeking employment with this company would be a fool to not take the job. He pays very fairly, has nice equipment, and you can expect to sleep in your bed three nights a week if you live in GA. This guy obviously had an ax to grind, and handled the situation very poorly. I would rate Boro Enterprises, LLC a 10/10.

 

I would also like to add that the OP knew ahead of time that this was the situation, but like I said, this is no longer the case. He was foolish enough to let one bad week ruin his career. I heard the OP drank a 30 pack of Natural Ice every 2 days when he wrote that, so keep that in mind. He kicked a gift horse in the mouth IMO. The Owner Operator hired him with no car-hauling experience, and taught him the trade. I think back then Boro did not pay well, but from what I have heard recently, he does pay a very reasonable salary. The OP should have been more honest in the fact that he knew what he was getting into in the first place. I don't think the guy has found another lasting job since leaving Boro Enterprises in the last three years, so if you believe that what goes around comes around, maybe this is the reason why. Some say Karma (whatever that is and if you believe in it) is a ######, and maybe that is right. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. If he had just held on and bit his tongue, he would be doing much better now, driving nicer equipment, and gainfully employed, instead of sitting at home watching his kids while his wife works a crappy retail job that pays next to nothing, but it does have good benefits. I think the OP made a terrible decision writing this post, as well as leaving the company. I know I wish I hadn't left.

 

If you didn't get it from my last two posts, if you are offered a job there, take it!!! Thee may be bad times, but that can happen at any company. It sure beats hauling a box around and doing 34 hour resets at truck stops, getting by the house once a month or so. I can tell you for certain that if Bob were to call me and offer my old job back, I would jump at the opportunity. Take the advice of a former employee: this is a good, fair company to work for. For the home-time and conditions of the job, being that you only drive to Florida and back to Georgia twice a week, and the honesty of the employer, the pay is very good now. Like I said, I would jump at the opportunity to work there, and would take the job back if offered. If you are a driver and are offered a position there, take it! Bob will most likely train you if you don't have any car-hauling experience, and if you already are a car-hauler, then you would be smart to work there if offered the chance. I came across this post, and it broke my heart reading what the OP wrote. He should have never written it, and should have been truthful. It's not like someone forced him to work there. And for those of you wondering, no I am not the owner of the company, and I do not work there.

 

Obvious recruiter is obvious. Gotta learn to back off a bit there, Morphine. We do research outfits around here, and make our own decisions. "Hard sells" do nothing more than raise suspicions. Likewise resurrecting four year old necro-threads.
