K & B Transportation fraudulent company, can mess up driver's CDL, wage theft

Traveling, check out FREMONT CONTRACT CARRIERS (FCC) in Fremont Nebraska and check out a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CULTURE.

 

Wtf? You park the truck and walk away dude. Why would you even to begin to consider to listen to that nonsense?

 

First thing I never would have been desperate enough to work for K & B to begin with.

If they tried pulling the #### with me that they did with you, after you told them you're quitting...I would have probably just unplugged or snipped the wires from the satellite tracker and drove the thing back and cleaned it out.

 

When handed a inch of papers to sign with the orientation staff leaning knuckles on the table over me to sign fast.. I say derp!

Then walk into a side room that is nice and dark and quiet. The better for this hermit to be undisturbed going over the papers with a bright pink marker to cover the words in highlight that give me a stomach ache.

Then I go back out and go over each highlighting one by one.

They hate me.

 

I'll give ya another lil piece of advice. Don't worry about your dac. It's used by megas for megas. I honestly never heard of it until I got on this site and I started driving in 2001. I completely agree with you not wanting to abandon a truck but when you are running illegally and get in a accident and kill someone are they going to jail or you? I'm glad you are able to put this behind you now just make sure you go to someone a lil better next time and stand your ground. It's your cdl, your liability of you aren't playing by the rules, and all companies will try to push you....that's their job...just gotta tell em to #### off and they will back down.

 

DAC is not the issue. Blacklisting is. Provided the company that did it stayed within say Indiana law by verbally informing my next flatbed employer that I am blacklisted but never in writing. I check that one company against all of my employers so if i catch it in writing then I have a trip to the Indiana Superior circuit court pending.

Even 10 years bad things go away off DAC and the so called black listing is just a memory. Hardly worth going into detail. (The simple explaining is I won a legal suit against that company by quitting for Cause and then Maryland ruled in my favor for award of benefits and so on. Cost them alot of money. However they did it to themselves. But you know enough that you are just one person. A drivah easily replaced and forgotten. One persons do not take on a billion dollar family of companies. Not easily.

 

Well they cant force you to do anything illegal. Nor can they punish u for not wanting to break the law. If u refuse to break the law and end up getting fired then lawyer up. The problem is these companies get away with this #### because they know new drivers dont know any bettter and when they start to finally get some sense they tell this driver to do it or get fired. Now since the driver dont wanna get fired he will do the job . they would never attemt this #### on a veteran driver because most of us would tell them to go eat #### then wash their mouth out before they even attempt to talk to us.

They will change their tune once u stand up for urself. The problem is the new guys just take it up the ### because they dont know any better. And really u better have a good argument and some experience if u do argue that point because u might get fired. Once u get a lil experience u need to learn the word NO . also learn HELL NO, NOT HAPPENING. and #### NO, YOUR CRAZY. these are all very important words once u get a lil experienece and dispatch wants to put a cape and some tights on u and take that jit load thats been sitting in the back of the warehouse for 6 months that the customer forgot about , now all of a sudden it needs to be moved halfway across the country in 8 hours.

Good luck to u driver

 

Yeah because they know they are doing #### that aint llegal. But u really got the word force out of your vocabulary because it is simply not true. They did not force you to do anything. Even if u have a gun to your head and they said take the load or die. U are still technically not forced, u made the choice to do the load rather than die.

The type of stuff u are saying they are telling u. U need to keep the messages on ur qualcomm and go above your dispatcher or find somebody in the company . u see this kind of stuff all the time with new drivers it is very sad wat companies try to do .

But at the end of the day you are not forced to do anything, u make the choice. So which choice will u make driver

 

Most newbies would recoil as if burnt if they dared to say no to a dispatcher God forcing them to go do something related to cargo that has been rotting for weeks.

Just one simple word "No"

And TIbbet is correct, get rid of the word Forced. No such thing in this industry. The company already feels the sting of asking a newbie they hope is so dumb they would not dare use the word No. Or worse, document everything and name names, dates, times and so forth and leave the so called forcer naked and exposed to prosecution in some way.

If a trucking company has ANY shred of decency, values drivers and loves the Law (Hates it more likely.. but bear with me here...) you will never have to say the word no. Or be afraid of having to say it.

Every load, build your savings. Someday there will be no more loads, maybe for the rest of your life. I hope you have three million saved up by then to do whatever you like here in America. Maybe buy the company outright and promulgate policy never to force Newbies into running illegally.
