RUAN - one word - DESPICABLE

How about a different aspect of this. ALL companies who use cameras and mics say they are only there to protect the safety of their drivers and the motoring public. That would make Ruan liar liar pants on fire!

 

Yup, they haul garbage here in Phx. to the landfill.

 

Liar liar pants on fire, hope they get stuck on barbed wire!

 

is ruan getting cameras or they already have?

 

Hey! Let's keep it mature and dignified ya weenieheads!

 

I used to haul milk tankers for this company RUAN. Or should I say, RUIN. I had to file a workers comp claim for an injury. These idiots took me in a back room for two hours and grilled me down in every possible way about how I violated company policy in reporting this work injury. I almost literally reached across the room and slapped the eff out of these people. Called up the idiot in Tulare--I think he was top business partner, Ben Williams--gave him an ear full while jacked up on dr. prescribed pain medications. Threatened to sue the company. This idiot asked if his coworker and fellow business partner could "listen" in on the line, probably to save themselves from a legal battle with a witness--I told him hell no. A couple weeks later I lined up another job and when the company began to demand that I return to work, I flipped them the bird and started hauling gasoline. I hate, I hate, I hate that company with a passion. They're gross violators of HOS rules and every other rule. God , I could write a novel about it. I think I did in a previous thread actually.

 

Also, it looks like they have a standardized policy of illegally threatening to fire drivers for reporting a worker's comp injury. The pretext they use? "You didn't report the injury to a 1800 number first, so we could direct you to the appropriate medical facility." I ran this by my employment lawyer and he said , in no way could they even require that legally; that it is completely and utterly illegal to have such a requirement. Interestingly, a dude who trained me at my gasoline hauling job, used to work for RUAN at a different location. This guy fell off a truck and split his face open. The business partner --very upper management--had a safety meeting, took him aside after the meeting was over, and personally threatened to fire him over reporting this injury "if anything like this ever happens again." Completely disgusting and illegal retaliation. I hope they lose every asset they have to pay legal fees one day.

 

I do my job. I don't need people to patronize me while I am doing it. If I need help, I ask. That what truckers do.

Not a #TruckerGirl

Not sure if that little girl needed help, but I am sure she would have asked if she needed it. Also, you could have helped and been part of your prescribed solution. Instead of getting fired.
