Bed Bugs

I've complained about the hotels as well, and have never been asked to leave or go home. Usually the problem was fixed. Something else happened that you were sent home.

 

Yup. My take? The OP had a bad experience, and raised his/her concern to staff in a somewhat unprofessional manner.

Now, let's look at this from PTL's point of view. Perhaps the OP, in the course of his/her duties with PTL, has a bad experience with a shipper / receiver. It's likely that the OP will again raise his/her concern to the customer in a somewhat unprofessional manner.

They did what they had to do. Remember, there are plenty of driver applicants out there that CAN raise their concerns in a professional manner. Next in line, please.

 

What stopped you from just calling a cab and fixing the problem on your own in the middle of the night? Work it all out later after you calmed down? Cooties happen.

 

Probably a good idea. Lots of good information on MOST companies right here on this site.

 

You're reading too much into it.I wasn't going to accuse them just ask them and tell them this is what I heard.I don't ecspect them to take any action,be very surprised if they took my email seriously.Hope you don't get this bent out of shape on the road if you drive trk.

 

About rule #5 in trucking is not to be a complainer. Complaining on day 1 doesn't paint a good picture of your future with them. Companies have contracts with these motels. They pick the cheapest one in the area, hence problems.

Complaining to them will get you absolutely no where as they don't have an account with another motel nor will they fork out cash to every new recruit that is not happy with their room. The best thing someone can do is make the best of a bad situation. Stick you some crackers on the opposite corner of the bed and maybe they won't bother you.

If anything secretly call the local Dept of Health and they'll pull a surprise inspection on them.

I've seen worse. CRST puts 3 recruits to a room. The last one there gets a cot.
