YANKEE FREIGHT SYSTEMS Alsip IL - DO NOT WORK FOR THEM

Signed with them about 2 months ago as a company driver.
After phase 1 and phase 2 training, I sat for 8 total days. Unpaid and not allowed to go home. By the time I did get home I was gone for 7 weeks and only allowed 2 days home. Mostly east cost routes. Lots of back roads. Lucky if you get 2000 miles in a week. When you do get a longer run it is spread out over too many days. No APU's or Inverters on trucks. Sticklers for MPG's(even though they don't compensate you for it). Most Fleet Managers think of themselves as "Gods". They are always right and you are always wrong. The lack of communication is laughable. The insurance package is very, very expensive. Well over $100.00 per week. They will screw you out of detention and layover pay. The terminal in Alsip, IL has the worst run maintenance staff imaginable. After I gave them 2 week notice - they ran me 50-200 miles a day. My last day was over 45 days ago and guess what - Im still waiting for my last paycheck. Accounting department is just not willing to talk to you. I do not recommend the company to anyone.

 

- thats different Yankee. I was talking about Yankee Freight Systems out of Alsip IL. They are small company, ran by crooks.
Update:
Got a call from the owner at Yankee on Saturday, he was threatening me with lawsuit if I dont remove this posting
It made me laugh, so I told him to go ahead and sue me )
