Anyone here driving otr for American Furniture Warehouse?

I used to drive for them. Not a bad outfit expect to take your ten and get moving. Haul outta golden to southeast. Travis is in dispatch and Braxton was also. Mike Is a prick boss.

 

Pretty much you run out. And you get 32 hours at home +- drive time. They only usually gave us resets out 6-7 home 1. Still at 38 cents though I’d take my chances wth a different outfit. If you ever run into a guy named Gary P aka silky lips and Carl aka strawberry cowboy those are two cool dudes.

 

I never got 2 full days at home in 6 months.
They used to start guys out @ .37 I got .38
I ended up leaving because I broke down 9 times in 6 months. I spent 8 days in Memphis broke down during Christmas not under a load and asked if I could fly home to be with family Mike said no. My truck was a freight liner with around 800 thousand miles on it. It had dog hair everywhere and was nasty I asked them multiple times if I could get it detailed, at the place next store in Thornton nope wouldn’t let me. Also the last few runs I got out of Orion rugs in SC. You’d get there with about 2 hours left of of driving time. They would make you sit in the warehouse and count each and every rug they put on the truck (700+) or they wouldn’t load you. No joke. I asked Braxton and Travis about if I was going to get paid for this. Nope. I asked Mike Dowel to which he said Nope. So after a few weeks of having to sleep in the loading dock, being out of hours and that stupid security guard who couldn’t seem to remember me waking me up each time at #### midnight to tell me to move I had enough. Told Mike I was done. “I wish I had those kind of load times when I was running” is what he said. I told him “yeah mike because you’ve just drove for this company and no one else your clueless.” So he tried to dick me around a little at the end. Life isn’t oh so grand for Mikey Poo he is driving Uber’s on the side to make ends meet. Serves him right.
Good luck there, mean that truly. But if you aren’t a yes man to Mike you’ll be short lived. Him and his stupid effing yellow shirt.

 

Usually was running from Georgia or Mississippi or alcova Tennessee out to South Carolina we had set load days with Orion then

 

Yeah buddy you think what you want.
I drove for them over 2 years ago.
Things might have changed.
So don’t go blasting me about how I was the problem.

 

On top of your little quote.
You haven’t broke down on the road for 8+ days with them. Over Christmas.
Haven’t experienced Mikes little phone calls asking why You filled up with 78 gallons instead of 75.
Ran through Arizona and NM with no AC in dead of summer because Mike didn’t want to have AC fixed in the Arizona Terminal.

Listen dude I’m overly joyed your having a great experience but many many drivers haven’t. So keep your little comments to yourself until you get some time in there.
