jacked up DAC!!!!

Yep and just like when I first got my CDL back in 2004 I used to say I have to start somewhere regardless of where and thats true again now as well because of what happened and because of being out of the truck for 2 years. I just will keep it positive and due what I have to do in order to show the industry I am a safe driver I just made one mistake and scraped a curb which could happen to anyone.

 

THE TRUTH ABOUT MAVERICK
Well I just quit maverick and now I can tell you starry eyed new guys the truth about what a typical day is like.
One don't be surprized after all the smoke is blown about how they operate professional and legal is blown and you will realize that no-one and I mean no one in this industry can run legal and make a living.Some do it to a lesser degree and It might not be told outright to you to do it and that is because they will not take that risk it will be implied tho and if you dont you will be punished and weeded out let me explain my typical day:
I would try to drop my load as early as the consignee would open say 7:00 I would arrive and usually wait for other trucks and lazy mill workers to get the load off average time 2-3 hours (maverick does not pay detention till after 3 hours and its 8 dollars and hour shows what they feel your worth) also figure putting equipment away takes time
Ok
now I have placed my empty call in and I wait and I wait maybe by 9:00
I get a message to drive 50 miles for a 2 oclock pick up at us steel which has a policy of half hour early to half hour late to load
so I drive the 50 miles and I wait and I wait till 1:30
This has been 5 and half hours already
I put my pick up number in the computer and I receive a load slip and I jump in the truck and scale where the scale man tells me what door to report to
well lo and behold there are 5 trucks waiting in line in front of me Well you know that there is 3 hours till I get that precious detention pay and guess what at 5:00 they are finally lowering my coil on the truck
well you might say hey thats 3 and a half hours you get 4 bucks right!!
wrong!! you dont get detention till 3 hours after your appoinment time and as soon as its on the truck you are loaded tarping and securement do not count
So... now I have to secure and tarp ill say an hour and a half with paper work and trip planning
ITs now 6:30 and you guess it I havnt made a cent yetbecause now I have to drive all night to get it there
and the process repeats
11 and a half hours to get a load off and on is typical in steel hauling I was in the regional steel belt route and all I hauled was steel and short runs average 350-400 miles a day
after all week of this then I would get home friday at midnight then have to leave sunday afternoon to start the process over
Oh yeah if you decide that you dont want to work 19 hours a day and try and run legal the csrs will give you a load at 8 at night to pick up after you onload and it will be for a 200 mile run they will cut your miles and increase your non-paid wait time they find great humour in this and really dont give a dam if you quit or not because they have a over 100% turnover rate and are grinding as many drivers through their orientation as they can its a revolving door company i met very few drivers here that had any substancial time with the company and the ones that did
Well... How do I say this nice possible brain damage....hummm limited education learning disability seems they were where they needed to be because there isnt much else they could do
oh by the way I stuck it out for 6 months thats all i could take
Just a warning that it isnt a bunch of roses

 

I copied and pasted the above post from another site

Dacfix is a JOKE! Complete WASTE OF SPACE company. I made the mistake of wasting my money there. Nothing was ever done. It's a load of crap. And they out right lie to you about how long it's going to take, when they get reports, how they will help you, etc. All they care about is their MONEY! Once they have your MONEY, you are on the back burners. They are just as bad as these P.O.S trucking companies!



P.S. I read through this entire thread to see if Dacfix ever ended up helping Faber. I doubted they did, but I was hoping I was wrong. I wasn't. They confirmed they care nothing about you by paying attention to THIS THREAD. Look at all the detail here and mention of dacfix, now couple years after the start of the thread, here comes DACFIX bopping in trying to sell their B.S. service. Which means they probably only read the first couple of posts, skipped to the end and put out their mating call "pay me pay me pay me" with no interest in the story, or what is actually happening, or the fact that the person already wasted their money on them...... should check out the BBB report. I would have continued fighting my complaint against them except the BBB wanted money to continue. Why would I waste any more money on this piece of crap company. Doesnt make any sense.
