This company REQUIRES that you run overweight, over hours, and blind bill loads as a condition of employment. I know. I worked for them for 7 years till I developed AFIB (irregular heartbeat). It is typical to work 3 weeks (16-20 hours/day) before getting a 34 hour break! Grossing as much as 100,000# is not unheard of. Typically you'll gross 85,000-95,000# on 5 axles. They'll pay you're overweight tickets, but it still goes on you're record. They WILL NOT pay log book violations, even though they REQUIRE you to falsify you're log. Good luck.

 

You obviously don't know squat about how companies can run over drivers in Texas. FMCSA is investigating their practices. I also have all 7 years of records to prove it. If you want I'll mail several months of records to show you.

Thanks for you're support.

Thanks for you're support of a fellow driver and the concern for my health.

The money was good. I liked the work (hauling crude oil) and the other drivers were good people.

Obviously companies in Ca. Operate differently than in Texas. The $ was good and other drivers good people.

 

You are right about HOS. What I did for 7 years was wrong. I should have stood up early on and quit. But that does not change the fact that PE continues to operate without repercussions. Everything I've accused them of is true. Help me shut down companies like this and save lives. I've been very blessed in that I've only had 1 responsible accident in 3.3 million miles, even violating HOS rules. Your situation seems to be unique. I've never heard of loads coming out of refineries. I've only heard of crude going into refineries.
