Cypress Truck Lines: Bad for Newbies, Great Weight Loss Plan

 

I have worked for Cypress for about 5 years. Since I don't trust mangement and they may read this form, I will be careful. You do not get home every weekend or even close. You do not get home for a whole weekend when you get home. You get home for 34 hours only. If you need to be home for a whole weekend you have to take vacation the Friday before at times. You have to check and be sure you are paid for everything or you will be short. According to mangement NO one got a raise this year. We have been shorted out bounus also. You MUST keep track and follow up on everything!! Vacation, bonus, pay, milege, rasies everything. I stay because I have a family I have to support and changing jobs and going without pay is not an option.
Hope this help.

 

Talk to an old friend from trucking school a while ago and said its bad there.He said he went tru 4 trucks in less than 6 months went he work there.There was few times when I saw there trucks broking down on the side of the highway.A year ago I used to see them all the time,but I have not seen the in my town for some time now.

 

i have worked here for 8 years . trucks break down regularly the one i drive is a 96model 1,200.000 miles. dispatch is always giving drivers loads they can not make delivery times or even the same day . every time they do that you lose part of your safty bonas. and you are marked dow n as having a late load. always driver falt. company will always blame driver first no matter what'

 

Are you still working there ? Why have you stayed 8 years

 

I worked for Cypress back in 99/2000. It sounds like they haven't changed at all. Crappy trucks, bad bennies, but I did get home almost every weekend. Usually home friday evening and back out Sunday afternoon.

 

I should be going to orientation next week. I graduate school this week and find out Friday when my orientation day is. I'll keep you posted.

 

There's a thread called "starting orientation/training next week" in the Flatbed forum that has recent post from truckers starting with Cypress Truck Lines. Check it out it's good info.

 

My mistake the thread is called "florida local jobs or home weekends". Sorry about that.
