    Ruan has this thing - they're good, friendly people (choke, gag).

    Yesterday I got a text. Call me before you go in to work. I workED in their Terre Haute, Indiana facility, pulling Menards trailers out of the local DC.

    My supervisor, David, personifies every single thing I hate about people. Cold, as a stone. Liar. Back biter. In a word - despicable.

    On this particular phone call I was admonished for saying the people at Menards should be ashamed of themselves for making a poor, skinny little GIRL change a truck tire, when there were big strong guys around. I'm not supposed to be smart enough to see the microphone "hidden" in the truck, of course... I stopped the tirade, in which I was instructed on who I should be and what I should say by some little pipsqueek who will need to shave for the third time next month by quitting them, flat.

    These people are as dirty and as sorry as they come. You were warned.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but basically what you're saying is that you wound up in hot water after being caught on mic, mouthing off to a customer.

    Did it occur to you that the "poor, skinny little girl" was, you know, doing her job as normal?

    Kudos for you, though. You really showed Ruan!

    So why did you get fired? I don't understand what is going on in this scenario that you've described. There was a little girl changing the tires on your truck at a Menards? And someone hid a microphone while you were yelling at a big guy who was making the little girl change the tire on your truck?

    Please start again from the beginning.

    I've seen women out work and out drive alot men in the Army and out here on the road.

    I don't see the big deal in her working on a tire. If she knows what she is doing, trained and qualified and can handle the work....then so what.

    That wasn't a girl you saw. That was a woman doing what she has do to make a living. The girls are the little no good for nothing, non working lazy, they want everything handed too them, selfie posting, spoiled brats.

    Sounds like the OP is a little sexist and jealous that she can do a job that he can't do himself.

    And who are you to tell another company how to run their business?

    .... aside from the OP's story. Ruan does suck. Crap benefits, crap pay, lots and lots of safety involvement, and they are one of those underbidding companies to get accounts.

    I thought about applying years ago, they had a HON dedicated account that came through here. After thinking about it, I decided against applying. From what I've read here, good thing I did.

    Ruan advertises on Facebook. Just another garbage hauler company desperate for anyone to drive their trucks.
