specialized express, columbus, ohio

Well, after reading all the posts on this thread I think I'll add my comment.

Worked for them before they moved to Columbus, forgot the small town's name though; Dave was a dispatcher during that time frame who later bought a truck to run team with one of the office gals; Doug and Marci and Dan were at the helm.

I quit to later re-hire once they moved on Vulcan Road in Columbus... quit again to be re-hired for the last time.

While in Columbus, dispatcher was a black dude named Tony who excelled at his job in spite of typical day to day trucking chaos. Margie was the only staff who re-located to Columbus from that small town that I can't recall at the moment.

Getting off the subject here I think; so, complaints? maintenance? bullying? lies? crooks? equipment? disrespect? threats?... well, I don't have an axe to grind towards Specialized Express although I could dream up a boatload, but it would only be as a result of my personal likes and dislikes as opposed to whether the company sucks or not.

It's likely I'm remembered if they read this... I wish them well.

 

I will send you a pm for more info about your company.. Thanks, Chris

 

I also worked for Specialized Express, had no problems with them.

 

Well I'm going to put this one to rest, I applied on their scronny website application and then the calls started, Marci calling me because she has my application and everything to "Good to go" I wait a while because we were waiting on something else to pop up, Well it didn't pop up so I went to see what Marci had to say, I'd call and left her 5 voice mail messages, By the way there is no email addresses for anyone at this company... Wonder why they don't want to hear about these troubles? or would rather ignore all of the back lash from their treatment from their previous drivers, She would call me back only to reach my VM as I was away from the phone sleeping or whatever else I may have been doing, So I then wait because I had another promising thing happening and nope that didn't happen either so I call her and leave another message, she never responds at this point but I receive in the mail a letter stating that everything is good and she wants to get me scheduled... really? So we have NEVER spoken and she has what I would call an information sheet on me and she is ready to get me scheduled... for what a teeth cleaning a Physical or a bus fare what is she ready to schedule me for? So I'm a bit leary as to what she is up to, so I call her back and forth we go, she calls me and I did a bunch of research and I mean a bunch, I found rip off reports and the whole nine yards on her and her company, I call her again and leave her a message about me not going this route after all of my research, She calls me back talking about us having talked a month ago, now remember it has only been voice mail NOTHING ELSE at this point, So then she calls me and says that if I sm upset about not reaching her and not being able to get through to her that she is a busy person and she recruits for her company because she wants to know who is driving her trucks that she goes down and signs her life away for but that I should call her back, I called her back and got her, she again states that we had talked a months ago and I butted in and said, "No I have never spoke to you before in my life" that "I was not interested in anything she had to offer that I had done a lot of research and that the way she treats drivers is not anything I would be interested in," I then said, "the way Doug or Dan or whatever his name is the way he runs drivers is not going to be my cup of tea." She gets this attitude I can hear her welling up with her broken breathing from way to many smokes in a days time. She says to me "Well then if that is the way it is going to be Then have a good day" I said "you to goodbye!" and this is finished I hope. I was not impressed with her mistaking me for someone who had spoken to her before, I was also not impressed with the " We can get you scheduled" For what? Explain this please and I am a VERY NON SMOKER and requesting that I get a non smoking truck would fall on deaf ears, so this is why I have chose to not go here. Thank You.

 

Thanks, She sounded appalled when I told her I found a lot of dirt on her and her "Boy Toy" She sounded like she was very desperate to get drivers in those trucks, That "she signs her life away for!" She sounded pathetic.
