Review for EW Wylie DRIVER BEWARE

Please be mindful the recruiter’s job is to recruit YOU.
If you are new to flatbed I highly encourage you to search for a company that offers hands-on-training with an experienced teacher/trainer. Flatbed can be very dangerous and costly if you do not know what you are doing.

After you receive an approval to begin training at E.W. Wylie you will be given a choice to fly or drive an Enterprise rental for orientation which begins each Monday of the week and lasts until Friday at check-out 12p.m. On Sunday you will arrive at the Biltmore Main and Suites in West Fargo, ND. Service is fairly descent. Return the rental immediately. You’re allowed to bring your spouse on the trip – car rental only. Please don’t ask if they will cover a flight for your spouse.

Driver turnarounds are way too high so company losses are on the rise. The powers that be are not paying attention. I am talking way above the Chief Operating Officer who does not have the ability to diffuse a disgruntled experience but adds more fuel. The Humble location closed last week (7-2016).

E.W. Wylie provides Subway cards for dinner in the amount of $10 for the week. Corporate training is class room style with a projector and one day outside of the classroom. In training you will be given an option to select a truck. Please don’t bother take WHATEVER they give you otherwise it will become another hassle.

First introduction to DM when he calls your phone after you’ve left a message is “WHAT”. Hello to the start of a downward disastrous spiral. Quit immediately if this happens and speak to the recruiter although nothing will change. Now you see why the business relationship becomes a form of HADES. You WILL NOT MAKE MONEY … I REPEAT YOU WILL NOT MAKE MONEY AT THIS COMPANY. I can prove how many miles I’ve driven along with the pay received. They WILL NOT have your best interest. Believe me…. And once you have taken the chance and you witness the same outcome, you will quit the company. They will demand you to return the truck to West Fargo, ND and pick up a load returning. UNBELIEVABLE!!! NOT written anywhere in the SOP's. If you do not agree to pick up a load to return the tractor, although you have terminated the employment you will be threatened. KEEP IN MIND YOU WILL NOT GET PAID FOR RETURNING THE TRACTOR. However, another threat is to report abandonment on your DAC report because you refused to pick up a load to make them money. You are driving 1,000 plus miles and you're not making money either. The Ops manager will say in demand with a rude and aggressive tone, “you will pay for the fuel cost associated with returning empty.” Fifteen minutes later you might receive a call from the Chief Operating Officer. What a BIG waste of time!!!!!!!

IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY YOU WILL NOT SEE THEM. Once you return home they will harass you (calling authorities) if you decline their telephone calls after only two days. Keep in mind you've been on the road for two months at this point and home for two days!!!!!! Talked to drivers who were out much longer say three months and made $2800/mo. living in California. GEEEEZ! Too many stories to write about on this post, maybe complete in an ebook. More details to come. These are not opinions but facts and all can be proven.

I have paid for this experience to give it to you for free. Heed wisely.Don't waste your time. Join a company whose management team is diverse and genuinely care about its team. Life is too short - get with a powerful team of players who will embrace your best!

All the best!

 

A gem (lol)... remember the enemy can NEVER occupy the higher ground, although it may appear as if he does for a short period of time.

 

Read the post again- *I Quit* so I have every right to refuse any load at that point. Live and learn. I see why drivers abandon the trucks and .....
