Any SRT Solo drivers

14 days. But don't count on paying your bills.

 

Dont count on paying my bills? Is there problems wit h getting my money on time or is it a problem with getting the right amount im owed either way that would be a major problem.

 

Not really. It's a matter of planning, is all.

After you've been out 14 days. You can request hometime. And it could take them 7 days to work you 500 miles.

The priority will be getting you home, on the requested date, if possible. They won't be concerned about how many miles you got the week you came home. Or how many you get, coming out into the freight lanes.

 

Now I have told u my experience with SRT and i will answer the question i forgot too. Now there hometime is 1 day for each week
Out I myself take 5-6 days after being out 4 to 6 weeks a lot depends on your relationship withYour dispatcher. Now I would be doing a disservice if I didn’t tell about what is the present state from the drivers
Perspective. 7 months ago they forced all drivers on per diem at a cost of 3 cents per mile for
Administrative fees. This was supposed to last until the end of the year when I called about
Opting out of the per diem I was informed that this was now permanent and we drivers should
Not complain if we wanted to keep doors open. Now last November they restructured the management
And dispatch by permantley laying off 25% of both. Yesterday while at the terminal in Texarkana
The big topic was the possibility of filing for bankruptcy in the next few months. Now will they go belly
up no I really don’t think so but still that is not a good sign to me As a driver.
Also yesterday they have cut off our prepass unless the driver wants to spend the $14 a month
I think this 2 fold myself ,one our safe stat score is 93 unacceptable and 2 they are trying to save money
And doing all they can for this . Now I have told you both sides and make up your mind my self I am
Jumping off the sinking ship before it goes all the way under.

 

Sounds to me like Covenant is about to walk in and make the final play.

can you please elaborate on this....covenant owns SRT and they themselves are in a state of [COLOR=red][B][U]--cutbacks--[/U][/B][/COLOR]...why they purchased SRT & STAR i don't know:biggrin_2554:....

[COLOR=black]when companies do things like this, and squander their dollars, the only ones that pay the price are the office workers and especially the drivers.[/COLOR]

 

it seems like all the big companies are forcing per diem

 

I been hear about 2 yrs the first year was great made lots of miles and got bonuses then the economy went south and so did they get this they now make use pay for our own pre pass and ez pass! $13 dollars a month out of our pockets too keep them transponders. They also have quit the 3 % company match on your 401 k contributions. they cut the speed down too 65 mph they ##### about the idle time they now charge you $100 fines for low air pressure in your tires when you come into the yard. They have a mechanic that only job there is too go around checking air pressure on tires one fellow driver was fined 100 dollars for 1 tire being 90 psi just one tire all the others were 100 psi! They keep taking a lot out of driver many have quit so am about too also but with the economy being in the crapper I don't think any other place would be any better I was going too go too Lessor till I seen some bad posts about no miles well the only good thing I can say about SRT is that I enjoy going out too the Pacific Northwest during the summer, other than that can't say much about them.

 

You sound like your a dispatcher or recruiter. 5100 miles a week is BS. If your a driver you would know you can't get that many miles in one week,I had a 70 mph truck and the best I could get was 4100 miles. I guess your one of them drivers that never wait to be unloaded or loaded. Also if your driving over hrs, if you get in a wreck SRT will throw you under the bus. Like I say your a dispatcher,recruiter or O/O. I still say 5100 miles in a week is BS.
