Its the company that has no respect for you as an employee(contractor).
The dispatchers in Canada are not the decision-makers, they are just conveyors of what's being handed down to them from Indianapolis, so if you are ever in need of anything the broken phone will not get you very far.
Prepared to be on the road for a long time with no hometime if you want to make any money, prepare to wait for reloads for days.
Also, they don't pay PC Miler Practical like everybody else - they pay shortest, which is already 10-12% off your paycheck.
They also run a lot of mexican loads from Laredo to points in the US.
It's a grey area under US law, so if you are ever in trouble with american authorities over this, the company will not help you. -
Thanks for the reply
It was my understanding that they do a lot of Laredo and you answered my top questions. I don't mind being out for weeks on end but it does bother me if I'm sitting out there waiting for a load back. -
yes waiting in laredo can be roughet there after you and u have hrs to run and u still waite
-
What's more to it is, that -- after all that waiting -- you receive a load, look at the paperwork and realize, that the load has been sitting there for 2 days.
I'm not exagerating - it's more a rule than exception.
