Second update. I finally got my disciplinary action. "Occurrence Type: Cargo Claim. Occurrence Description: "Load Shift" I'm guess...
I gave notice yesterday and they kept me rolling. I guess the bigger fleets are more pragmatic. They said may even consider...
I'm headed up to the company terminal tonight. Conflicting advice on whether to give notice, but it looks like more votes in favor than...
I'm getting tired of working at this company. I want to quit, and I should give notice, but it really feels like it will be awkward working...
I'd almost go out on a limb and say chaining is worse than tarping anyway. With a tarp it's all straight forward. Most forklift drivers will...
The company I'm with, System Transport, has a Colorado regional fleet. That's if you want to get into flatbed.
Thanks for the encouragement Zenaddler. For an update on the situation, they didn't throw away the damaged bundles. They loaded one on my...
Not all gps devices are created equal. If your gps is sending you down bad routes, buy a differnt one. I started with a Garmin. The third...
I'm curious: what can you do to make bad DAC go away? I know you can contest, and file a rebuttal. Are participating companies required...
So, reading about this issue more, I just discovered that DAC doesn't actually happen until you leave the job. However it will happen before...
No. I'm at System Transport, and to be honest I'm just being paranoid. I don't know if they really do that. I just think most of the...
I'm not worried they'll fire me. I'm worried they'll make it sound as bad as possible so I have nowhere else to go. It's a handy driver...
Now that I'm unloaded and I have a chance to think about it, it seems to me that my cdl is basicaly worthless to me now. I won't be able to get...
The forklift people showed up this morning. We just had to take most of the load all the way off and put it back on. It was too tangled and...
I think I'm going to have more of these if I stay on. They run us pretty deep into our clocks. I shouldn't have been in a hurry...
I already reported the problem to my company, so it's too late to hire my own forklift. Might as well let them pay for it if it's going on my...
To answer a lot of peoples' questions - the 25% loan is the company's owner operator program. At least that's how I've heard it works....
I just had a load shift yesterday. The bottom bundle on a stack of bundles was on top of a pallet that it was already hanging slightly off...
Company I'm with will sell me a truck that's been with their fleet for 4+ years at 25% interest. I'll get 72% of freight working for them if...
Please let us not compare against owner operator. I don't forsee that for myself very soon. You need quite a large down payment and I'm...
