Beware of NAVINIX out of Downers Grove!!!

Well then.........so you dont like driving on the east coast? You drove for a real company. They sent you to NYC

 

You were a company driver? A lease/purchase driver? An owner operator? A driver for an owner operator? A driver for a lease/purchase driver? An innocent bystander? An interested third party? Selling ice cream on the sidewalk in front of the place? A reader of bathroom walls?

 

Yes. Any more questions?

 

Someone will go back and review to see if anything happened so that they can steal money from your final paycheck. Not unusual for them to take that long. When I left Volume out of Conyers, Ga., I had an incident from a few months back where I got loaded and could not slide the tandems to distribute the weight. Tried every trick I knew. Soaked the pins with WD-40. Tried twice to move them while rolling and using the hand brake. I had 44,000 on it they weren't moving because it was an old, worn out POS trailer. I called dispatch and got nothing but voice mail. Then I emailed them and got no reply. Now I had an BOL that showed the weight and when I left the facility I had to go over scales that gave me a read out, so I knew what needed to be done. Long story short, I got pulled in outside of Atlanta, and sure enough I was 2,200 over on the rears. Fine was $143. Nothing happened for months. Then when I left they pulled it out of my check on the premise that I did not go to a Pilot and use the scales. I asked them what good would that would do since I couldn't shift the tandems? No reply. I lived in Clarksville, TN. What was I going to do? Sue them for $143? Typical treatment in the industry.

 

That sounds like a personal problem to me

 

When money is stolen from me because of crappy equipment it is personal.

 

You had 100% choice to not take the load or leave part of the load to be legal....

 

The load was already on the truck. Any idea of the expense to go back to the dock and get them to remove part of the load which I SHOULD have been able to carry if we were a competent trucking company. The expense to pay them to unload so I could shift the tandems would have exceeded the cost of the fine. There have been posts on this very board about how bad their trailers are. Several drivers complained and they were in the process of getting new trailers, but I had one of the old ones. You would have had to have worked there to understand. Everything is the drivers fault at that place. The CEO is a little yuppy that married the daughter of the owner. No clue about much of anything, but can talk his way out of anything. Let me put things in perspective for you. Detention was $12 an hour. You getting the picture? They paid the local drivers in Atlanta $15 an hour and complained because they loafed.

 

Well no wonder! You were trying to slide the 5th wheels, not the tandems!
