Wow, what kind of cut-rate outfit is that? Get out now!!
People always wonder why rates are so pathetic as well as driver pay. There you go. You get idiots like that company running junk, avoiding inspection stations, not fixing anything, and working for nothing.
And then that's why driver pay doesn't come up, because now you have the rest of us running good rigging and after expenses there's nothing left, so how do you pay your good drivers more?
If you like your license driver and want to continue driving, find another job fast before you get caught in that junk.Caterpillar Cowboy, alpo718, Ruthless and 1 other person Thank this. -
I also saw the chain. It's flat unacceptable. QUIT, and bring those photographs with you to ensure you win the case for unemployment and call down the DOT against them. IF it is not your own life you save, you will save someone else's I had a tractor which it's floor fell down at close to 75 mph one fine day in Arkansas. There is nothing in the the industry that teaches you what to do in that situation. Which was absolutely preventable once B&B concrete of little rock retired that old POS tractor and bought a new one. It's been 16 years and Im still angry with them.

This was a warning Sind and I made this the last load too.
A police pulled over a tanker nearby.....x1Heavy Thanks this. -
Glad you got out intact. You don't need those kinds of headaches.
Plus when the good companies see guys driving for the bad outfits, they tend to shy away from those drivers, because they think you HAVE to be there for a reason.
Good luck to you, hope you find another job soon.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
Is that hot Sulphur Tanker? He needs to be in the unloading pronto. Cannot have those #### things cooling off...

Yep, I've seen them flip on flat solid ground with bad loading.x1Heavy Thanks this.
