Thanks for the details, bud.
mateynine, paul_4lp, elamigowapo and 8 others Thank this. -
Multiple year driver speaking from experience.
Low miles, hostile environment, loads never ready on time, haul maybe 2-3 furniture loads per week the rest are backhauls.
The outside carriers are given the long haul preferential loads while we're given 200-300 mile loads with a backhaul attached and this is in the no touch "Point to Point" division that gets paid miles only. Imagine that, having to compete with ourside carriers for your own companies loads. You can sit for hours..NO DETENTION PAY.
Quarterly safety bonus taken away as of MLK day, replaced with an "incentive plan" that drivers can't qualify for. .......ASHLEYDRIVER2013 and Need4Speed Thank this. -
Oh, drivers are not allowed to use their hard earned vacation time between Feb 25 - Apr 14 and from Nov 18 - Jan 1, 2019. ADS has officially "blacked out" those dates.
ASHLEYDRIVER2013 Thanks this. -
Texas_hwy_287 and Brickwall Thank this.

The weekly 34 hour restart at home was all I needed to hear a few years ago when I was looking at them. Home Friday night, leave Sunday morning, good luck with that.
poppapump1332 and DTP Thank this. -
If you get home Friday night and roll back out Sunday morning, that leaves only one FULL calendar day to do the laundry, go grocery shopping, and re-pack the duffle bag/suitcase for the next week. That, to me, is NOT quality home time with the family...KD5AXG, CorsairFanboy, Jazz1 and 7 others Thank this. -
Well, this explains why the Ashley drivers I have encountered have all had such a bad attitude.
Paddlewagon Thanks this. -
I've lost $12k over the past 2yrs with these people, through no fault of mine.

I used to see their trucks all over the place on my route, and now I hardly pass any of them.
