Arnold just like all the others

well that sucks! i would call twice a day LOL
i was the only one out of 12 that actually got assigned a sleeper truck out of theyard today......only catch is it is in the shop. posibbly till friday.
that i can handle, the other drivers got assigned daycabs and have to sleep in a motel at night until they can put them in sleeper trucks! LOL

 

tell them to get a load to dallas. the Grand prairie yard is full of sleepers. When I got my truck I wanted one of the old KW T800's but they put it in the shop for brakes the day we were getting trucks and it was going to be three days so they assigned me an 07 columbia with like 40k on it. Since I had the most exerience of anyone there I got the newest truck. I still would have rather had the old KW.

They told the company they don't respond to employment varification by phone, fax or email. Told them they need to MAIL it in and they would MAIL it back... BS on that.

I called yesterday ######## and they say they will send it by noon today but we will see. I stuck it to them when I left by photographing every qc message they sent me for evidence in case they tried t mess with my DAC so they are probably trying to blackball me on purpose.
just a tip, when things go sour with them make sure you CYA like I did or they will try to put the screws to ya. and they are FAST to put bad marks on your DAC. They were telling me they were going to put a truck abandonment on mine but I had photo's of all the messages for three days where I was telling them I would deliver the truck to the yard anytime the gave me approval to do it. I wasn't going to move it without a dispatch because I didn't want to get arrested for stealing it, which I also would not put past them.

 

10-4 on that mine is an 07 with 130K on it its at F'liner till tomorrow

 

Pat.. Arnold just told the company I'm going to that I abandoned the truck and had "unauthorized use" too bad for them I have photo's of the qualcom dispatch that told me to take the truck to the Nacogdoches TX yard. LOL!! I had refused to move it without a dispatch and then I took a pic of it. with my cell phone. The company didn't care anyways since they "know how Arnold is" in there words, not mine.

So that punctuates my point about making sure to C.Y.A.

the unauthorized use thing is a bit harder to defend because technically I did. they changed there hometime policy 3 weeks into my employment. when I sarted they would deadhaed you home for your requested homtime and pay you for it. they changed it to not deadheading you home more then 100miles. I live 120 miles from Grand prarie. After a few weekends sitting in the yard with no loads home my DM started telling me "I can not tell you to go home, they won't allow me to. Hoever you can TELL ME you are going home and I can't do much about it" so that's what I did. I did it three weekends in a row with no problm but all of a sudden on the last one they decided to call it unauthorized use since I quit two days after getting home.

 

man i sure hope i have better luck over here in this region!!!

 

Hey Panhandlepat,

I have made a choice to go on with arnold, rather than gainey one of the things i like about arnold is the ez pass with gainey not having that benifit i am heading to camp hill this sunday. They seem to be not a bad company to join. Just the relationship with us xpress has me just a little worried. Well there pat maybe i will catch up with one of these days be safe out there.

Just wanted to say thanks to you too there medicene man

 

yea gainey called me the day before i was to leave for arnold LOL. too little too late.

 

Arnold doesn't have ez pass, prepass or any of those. well I take that back, they do have them but only give them to lease trucks. At least 6 mo ago that's how it was. First company I worked for in 7 years that I had to go into every scalehouse with

 

we have ez-pass for super reg. and PROBABLY NE reg too i would imagine

 

i live in north alabama and i also am thinking about going with arnold. i have 3 years recent and i am tired of the northeast. and they sure cant be worse than the company i am driving for now,junk trucks,low miles and only .31 a mile and 170.00 a week for family health and dental supposed to be home everyday where i am at now but that is only for about 3 to 5 hours and that is killing me dont ever seem to get any rest at all.
