Navajo Express - good or bad company?

jabbs · Feb 4, 2013

Oh forgot Saftey. the claims dept is ok...tina is a cute gordita, she will help you...just dont lie to her. they had a really good person in the permits dept, Soby...but she had a kid and left. Now they have a girl named illeasha. Soby used to tell you when the new permits where in and which ones where about to expire. she would fax you any permit you needed and even call you when you called her and left a message. Fast forward to now. Ileasha doesnt return phone calls and will not post on the Qual com when the new permits come in. good luck your on your own. Then it comes to the 2 Dans... dick head 1 and dick head 2. Dan Hawk and Dan Quiring...these 2 you dont want to get them to know your truck number or your face...Most Saftey depts want to work with the driver so they can bypass and get by and DOT problems....not these 2 they'd rather screw you....trust me...screw you over before they will help you...and put a crap sandwich in your employee file. And if they can they willl put anything on your DAC that they can so you can't leave the company....1st line of defense on the super high turn over rate here....well iam on my way home. going to clean out my truck when i get there and turn the truck in when iam done.....cant wait. been here too long. ive seen this company go from OK to W.T.F.... good luck to anyone who comes here....

I have been here now almost 13 years. A lot of posters here- when it comes to all these issues and negetive comments- need to look at themselves first and then, look at the outfit that hired them.

Been here nearly 13 years. Not leaving. Drove for another outfit for a decade before comming over here.

This is trucking. Be prepared.

I have been with Navajo since January and its not as good as it sounds trust me. When I signed on with them they told me I would be out from 10 to 14 day not 3 weeks at a time. Then when it came to me bein called into court they refused to send me home. They had me drivin as well when i was really bad sick. Then when it came time to get paid they took half of my pay for unknown reasons. When I asked them where the rest of my pay was they always told me wait till next week. NEXT WEEK NEVER CAME!!! They don't care about their drivers or take into consideration the families at home especially when there is an emergency at home. To put it plainly Navaho is a big joke. Don't believe anythin that they tell u cause its lies!

I'm sure what you're saying mostly if not ABSOLUTELY true. At this point I don't really know what to think about The nava-ho's, yet! I was at Denver for their orientation, recently. Their orientation was for 2 days. After the orientation, they said I was ready to board w/ a traimer that afternoon. But then at the end of the day they suddenly tell me "you'll have to wait til tomorrow for a trainer. Then the next day they said, "we're out of trainers at the moment, it'll be a week before we can get a trainer for you so we're going to have to send you back in the greyhound bus. Well, it's been already OVER a week
& still NO TRAINER! So, it looks obvious to me that... they have their heads UP THEIR A S S ! LMFAO! WORK IS EVERYWHERE, THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES HIRING!

most people who respond are usually haters or are disgruntaled ex-employees. me is stilll work there...but am going to leave.. i knew it wasnt a good job when i 1st got out of orientation. they cover mostly the punishments they are going to do to you, more than what to do and expect from the company. iam going to just tell you everything i know so you can make an educated decision as to whether you think you really want to go there...1st COMPANY DOESNT have prepass. they say they dont qualify...but i called the prepass company(the one they keep talking about on road dog radion on sirris), the lady called me back 3 weeks later and stated that NAVAJO DOES qualify for prepass, but chooses NOT to participate...SO you have to go into EVERY scale. and with the condition of their trailers...YOUR CSA2010 POINTS go up...trust me! i know. 2nd AND MOST IMPORTANT! most companies give a 3-5 cent PER-DIEM, not here! This company gives .19cents per mile with (get this) .18 cents per-diem...SAVE ANY AND ALL RECIEPTS!!! come tax time you ARE going to take it in the rearend....my 1st year i owed FEDERAL TAXES of $ 3642.18, yes you read that right. because of the per-diem. thank the lord i save my reciepts. and still after my reciepts (food, clothes, glove, entertainment..ect) i still owed government $142.96. Next is the DRIVER MANAGERS...if you like to be talked to like a punk. and love SARCASM, this is your place. if you come and get Cindy, Tilo, Yakov, Bob, Donnie,Dino. PA-LEEEASE ! ARE GOING TO SCREEM. and if you do dont do it to them...its so bad that 2 years ago, they had piss off a driver so bad (truth, not trucker story), that he went in terminal with a gun to kill yes you read that right GUN, to shoot Dino, a fight broke out and the driver got shot with his own gun....SARCASM, hmmm cindy is always premenopalsal...or bi-polar...she is constantly talking down to you. NEXT IS Navajo will try and tell you that they are a NO FORCED DISPATCH company...straight out lying to your face! Just try,try and say no to a load...they will threaten your employment with them. THEN there is their equipment. the trucks they are replacing with cookie cut-out stripped out Kenworth T-660's, no top bunk and only 1, yes 1 shelf/closet to put your gear. The trucks are governed at 65mph. but when you go into the shop, they turn down your truck to 62mph.they tell you it will come back up to65 in about 250 mi...LIE more like 5000mi. that's if you dont idle the truck. The trailers, those 2 they are replacing. BUT if you get a 53 or 54 series (trailer number) trailer, you WILL have ABS problems...dont work. and when you get DOT inspected you get CSA points for brakes...then this guy wont replace tires...they want pictures of everything..i had a trailer with tread separation. told breakdown, told me to get it, "LOOKED AT", THEN WAS TOLD"if you can stick a screw driver head under tread then its tread sep. if all you see is cracks at tread line...and you can only put a partial screw driver head under...well tire is still good"! try that explanation in California. THEN P.O.'S they want you to come up "out of pocket" to get things like oil anti-freeze ect" but then dont want to give you the P.O., you have to ask and ask for it to get it. unbelieveable. TOLLS have to be included in that one, because the only toll pass they have is the I-PASS other than that you are "out of pocket" and chasing reimbursments. NOW they are going to a SWIFT-STYLE fueling program....they want you to go where they say to fuel, most companies say fuel at ANY pilot,flying-j or loves. ect. but here, they want you to go out of route to get 50 gallons and then get back on route so you can go another 200 mi then get another 75 gallons then go 300 mi then fill up. then want to hold you to thier tight delivery times. and if you are late they want to give you a service failure. this company. if you NEED a job, come here. but can look around and find something better i suggest it. NAVAJO is a bottom feeding company that has 98% turnover rate... and for good reason. they dont care about you. you are a truck number. and you can and will be replaced. heck they'll tell you that. just turn down a load. OH, i almost forgot. WHEN THEY PUT YOUR TRUCK IN THE SHOP FOR A "B" SERVICE, they search it....yeah, search it, EVERYTHING,from your undies to your food to EVERYTHING. BE PREPARED FOR THAT.. they say "its their truck and can perfectly within their right to search it"... SO BE FORWARNED before you make the decision to get here. SO YOU SAY WHY AM I STILL HERE? didnt want to bring childsupport payments and drama to my new company. i just finished my pay off. so iame gone...love to stay and chat but i got to go....jabbs

Just to set things straight, you are horribly uninformed regarding Mrs. McIntosh (sorry if I mangled that).

I think trucking in general has gone down the toilet drain
