Why does you IP address go to a trucking Company? I notice you are very hard on your fellow drivers in just about every post. If I didn't know better I think would think your an industry insider in here to cause trouble. I can give you many reasons not to go to Hirschbach Motor Lines from looking at thier website:
1. No Health Insurance until you have been employed for a full year. READ the fine print what you get after 30 days is Starbridge Select which is not health insurance but an Accident Plan. At one year mark you may enroll in the Blue Cross Blue Sheild plan
2. No dentition pay and they haul meat, anyone that has ever hauled it will tell you your going to be detained at shipper and reciever every load. Packing houses and grocery warehouses are not exactly Nirvana for Truckers.
3. up to 21 days before home time
4. 92 cents a mile for owner ops with a fuel surcharge not the fuel surcharge
From FMRC Saftey Profile they look good on inspections but that is a reflection of the drivers but have a fatality and 29 crashes with injuries with last 24 months.
Drivers beware of Hirschbach

If hirschbach is so bad, y are there so few thread, post r what ever on how they treat their drivers? I just left Covenant trans, and u what to know bad companies try them 4 a year r more.
I guess ill just have 2 take my chances.BeerHauler Thanks this. -
my wife's unckle had 2 trucks leased to hirschbach back in '79-80 & i drove one of them. we didn't have any problem with them. as for meat loads, we pulled a lot of swing meat loads to winn dixie in greenville sc. i guess it's what you make of it. do your job & they'll leave you alone, screw up & be on you all the time.
BeerHauler Thanks this. -
they pay layover , hold over, an real drivers who deliver to meat houses know that your normally delivered before 6 am ... Sounds like a driver that couldnt deliver on time or like being out on road to make a living go back to your daycab steering wheel holder leave the trucking to the proffesionalsBeerHauler and roaddawg92 Thank this. -

What Falconboy does NOT tell us is whether or not what Hirshbach put on his DAC was accurate. He does not tell us that the company falsified information. -
I guess if it's never happened to you consider yourself lucky. It hasn't happened to me, and I do, but I've only had one trucking job my entire 10 year career. My point is companies are widely known to not be honest and fair in many respects. Falsifying DAC reports is a routine matter for many companies posted about on this forum. Some drivers dont have anything to whine about, like the guy who started this thread who knows???, but there are many out there who have been wronged by companies lying to DAC and that is not right. And you say "eventually there will be a price to pay" well we would all like to see that because I have never heard of anything ever happening to companies that abuse DAC. There is NO recourse they dont have to answer to anyone. It costs a driver tons of time and money to fight stuff like this.

You think just because someone drives a daycab and sleeps at home he is just a steering wheel holder? That has to be the dumbest thing I have read on here. You try working 12hrs driving through city traffic hitting 10+ docks a day and see how much of a steering wheel holder they are. When it comes to skill I'll put most daycab drivers against anyone in a skills test.Vincent2254, Marky84, truckinmike1984 and 4 others Thank this.
