Boyd brothers transportation irs issues

I hope you told somebody. Jack at the Birmingham terminal could handle that nicely.

 

Bad Bad Boyd
In 1997 I was in orientation with this company. While outside having a smoke with others a driver for them came racing up in truck, ran inside, then police arrived. This man was never informed that is mother passed away 1 week prior by dispatch, which did not think it was important. His family had called, he was never told. The driver was arrested for threatning to kill dispatcher. The police were the one's that told us about the incedent. I quit orientation. Ten years later a collection agency is contacting me telling me I owe Boyd $2700.00. They claim I drove one of their leased trucks for one week to Tennessee. I never even got to the point of driver test drive. I did not sign any lease agreements, and paid my own expenses of getting to and from orientation. The collection agency stated I will pay this sum, they don't care whether I want to or not, does not want to do anything about this false claim from Boyd. Good luck. I would not and will not work for a company that does not think you have the right to be notified when a close relative is dying.


OK so how does all this make sense? you went to orientation twice and the same thing happened with the driver and the cops? once in 1997 and then in 2003... and Boyd ripped off both times in different ways *wow

 

sooo many things wrong with this guy, 1st boyd does road test day 1, why waste time with a drvr who can't drive, not on day 4. I've had the company contact me through customers when I was out of cell range and my wife couldn't get through to me so this story about a man having a sick mother and no contact is bull. They might have their hangups but what company doesn't. Most of the problems there come from sorry drvrs and slow frt. Well that and the Maxforce POS engine they got from international.

 

You go getem Geronimo Hope you fry their stockings

 

I haven't met a Boyd driver that didn't like em, I must only go to the happy truck stops.

 

Happy truck stops? I only seem to find the crappy truck stops!

 

I work for Boyd and stand to say. I have been in this business for 30years and have never been employed by a better company I don't believe a word os this BS they are in touch with each and every driver every day and keep you posted and up to date with info best company I ever worked for I will be right here till I retire

 

BS BS BS, I know for a fact this didnt happen, you do a road test your 1st day sir. To say you had been there 3 days w/o a road test why would they waste your time and theirs if they dont know you can or cant drive a truck?????

 

Well, friends, I have posted positive things about Boyd in the past, having worked for them for 8 years now. I'm sad to say, Things have changed. http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...nsportation-inc-clayton-al-5.html#post2878064

 

I have posted about Boyd in the past and said good things, but I have to retract everything I previously said. I've worked for them for 8 years now. The trucks are now slowed down to 60 MPH, SLOWER THAN JB HUNT! They are going to 100% elogs soon, and the new trucks have security cameras looking at the drivers. When I started there, they were a good company to work for, but it's become obvious this company is circling the drain. Boyd used to be a good deal, but the industry is changing.
From what I'm hearing, it seems a large number of companies are doing this crap. After 20 years on the road, I think it may be time to end my trucking career. This seems to be the direction the industry is going. I got into the trucking business in order to be self-directed with no supervisor looking over my shoulder all the time. It's become obvious that that way of life is coming to an end.
