Calex Express....My New Home!

Go in there and tell them you don't have all day.

 

Amen... Even Walmart is better than SYSCO.

 

Yikes! What store is the DC for?

I delivered this morning and had 4 cases returned damaged. It was all good because I had called the broker from the shipping dock and got his ok on the problem. I let him know the iced down, wax boxes had already started to "pancake" (water gets into weak spots in the wax, destroys the cardboard rigidity, and the weight of the boxes on top crushes the bottom ones.) Not sure if the rejects were crushed bottom boxes or the pancaking caused shifting and the 4 fell. I hate OSD but I saw the brokers' point. 4 cases out of 6 pallets of 40ish cases each is a good payday for him.

I swept out the round sprouts and tipped the washout guy with an advance apology for the mess. The leafy bits I could not get off are going to be smelly by the time he gets to washing it out.

 

Hey did you see Calex is jumping on the lease purchase program. The company has sunk to a new level of low. Check this out.

Want to own your own Truck?

Just starting out, or been in the business and don't want the high payments on a brand new Tractor??

We now offer Well maintained 2004 Volvo Tractors, on a "lease to own" program.

Tractors have been fleet maintained since new!

NO MONEY DOWN!!!

VOLVO 780 TRACTORS, with Cummings power!

$346.00 per week for 36 months and the title is yours. Includes truck payment , liability insurance, physical damage insurance, tags, Fed tax-2290's .

GROSS AVERAGE $$ 3300.00 PER WEEK. 2004?????????? 36 months?????

 

I am sure the post will get taken down. But what fool would be so dumb to lease a total piece of junk? a 2004? now we know what kind of equipment it is. A volvo auto. 346 per week? for 3 years!? Calex has sunk to a new low. Good luck people

 

The funny thing about that is the photo. While it's indicative of the actual trucks that are being offered for lease (the low unit numbers) the photo itself is at least 2-3 years old as those are the old logos on the doors. I don't know if they go over these things and clean and fix them up for lease, but I'll be willing to bet they don't look as nice as the ones in the photo. The one I was issued as a company driver had questionable tires, a rusty, non-greased fifth wheel, bent fairings and missing trim panels, duct tape residue on the dash, a steering wheel that looked like at least one of the previous drivers had been chewing on it, and a myriad of other small issues.

I know I wouldn't want to lease and make a monthly payment for the truck I was assigned to. And the loaner truck I had to use the day my mirror got taken out by a Schneider driver was even worse.

 

this isnt new they have been doing this for a while at least 3 years that i know of ... not sure where you got this add from but that truck there hasnt been in the fleet for over 2 years.... also i know 3 guys who are leasing the truck they are in and are happy with them and make good money.... difference between here and other lease programs is calex actually wants you to make money and own the truck....
