Roadrunner Transportation Services, Cudahy WI. Drivers Beware

I went to work with this company in March of this year. I went in, and purchased a 2011 International Prostar through Bush Truck Leasing. Things started off well I went from Dallas to Charlotte to pick up the truck. That's where the problems started I was informed after I had just driven 1300 miles in my car that I could not leave it parked at the terminal/warehouse. Which led to the question why not this is my domocile terminal. Then I am informed that not only can we not leave cars there we can't leave our tractors there either. Anyway after raising hell for a day and calling corporate I finally get approval. So now get in truck and take off. I am told that I have 45 days and that anything I find wrong with it they will repair so I get my list together. Two weeks into this ordeal I am out in Arizona and a four wheeler runs over a gator and throws it into my grill busting my grill, radiator and oil cooler so going into shop in Phoenix, might as well get it all repaired. Well a month later and a $5,000.00 dollar rental truck bill. I get the truck back things are going okay I am running. Then things start to go wrong with the truck. I am constantly in shop and blowing through my maintenance escrow. I loose my Air conditioning in July, go in shop they keep it a week tell me its repaired. Go pick up load make it 5 miles and A/C goes back out, take it back to shop three days later I get it back head out with load make Nashville and A/C goes out. I call the repair shop and they tell me they will make it good, but gotta bring it back to them . (Raleigh, NC) I call load planner explain whats going. A few minutes later get a call from co-ordinator telling me that she can't repower load and that I need to deliver load then get repaired so we are talking about a 4600 mile round trip in 113 degree temps without A/C. I refused, dropped load on Nashville yard as instructed and bob-tailed home for repairs. Bright and early Monday morning I was called by the terminal manager and told my lease was cancelled, and I quote because "our business models don't match" I ask him if he meant the model where I refused to drive 4600 mile without A/C, You know I learned long ago while serving in the military that you never ask anyone to do what you aren't willing to do yourself. You folks all know that there isn't one person in that office that would drive that far in that kind of weather without A/C.
As an added surprise They never paid me for my last two loads and they kept my escrow and oh yeah they are threatening to sue me for over $8,000.00
Drivers beware this is a very bad company to work for they will treat you like you are an idiot, and they do the very minimal to support you. It is an environment of CYA ( cover your own ###) and no one does anything that isn't absolutely required of them. If I heard its not my job once, I heard a 1000 times.
Once again beware of these guys.

 

apparently you are un informed, Per OSHA and FMCSA air conditioning is required in a tractor with sleeper berth. I would like to see you make a 4600 mile trip in a truck without A/C in 113 degree temps. if you say you would you are ####ing liar. All you have to do is check social media such as Glassdoor and you will see that they have a bad Reputation. I have been trucking 30 years and never was treated this poorly by a company. If they had offered hotels for my breaks I would have went on with load.
