    Sounds like another one of those bottom feeder companies and they wonder why there is such a turnover rate.

    If they are that bad & made your husband pay all that stuff , why in the H-LL is he still working there ???? I would have cleaned my truck out after the company told me I had to pay a tow bill ! Maybe he needs a new company !!! Ok , now I read your second post & needed to say that truckstop accidents are very common & drivers running away is even more common ! IF your "Hubby" is a great driver then he needs away from this company & he needs a good lawyer , sounds like crap to me & if they are screwing him , he needs to stand tall & get his money back ! If you live in Illinois , then check into Sharkey,Core & Sisbro one company 3 divisions ! Tell him to try for Core or Sisbro as Sharkey does not pay holidays or vacations !! Good luck .....

    Larry is gone, good guy but still having alcohol problems. That's why he's gone.

    I worked for Beacon for almost two years..I was towed twice, never paid anything...I got home ever 10 to 12 days with no problems..no one ever lied to me that I know of...sounds a bit stretched to me..

    Well not sure what you mean by a stretch, but if you mean it is a lie, trust me it isint and I would have no reason to lie. I seen hubby's DAC report and all that crap is on there that Beacon did to him. Doesnt matter though because he does not work there anymore, thank God. Glad you had a good two years but as you know bad things do not always happen to everyone. I seen the bills and the paperwork where Beacon tried to have him pay for the tow bills.

    This is the worst trucking company of all I have dealt with in thirty years. They do try to charge you with every little thing. I'm not going to sit here and gripe. I just filed complaints with the labor dept. D.O.T. I'm going to let them deal with these people. Stan, Randy, Jeff, Lisa, Chris
