    Bad company… other than operating 100% off the load board more importantly they used my last 2 weeks paychecks to upgrade their trucks. I put a two week notice in and returned everything they gave me as expected. They forgot to take me off their shop account so I saw the invoice where they bought and installed multiple new driver seats with my money.

    Multiple new driver's seats? They must have owed you quite a bit of money. Thanks for the heads-up.
    They have any other problems new drivers might want to know about?

    $3800 to be exact and yes one other thing is that they will book loads for drivers knowing the appointment won’t be made but try and say it will be ok . If Driver gets hit with late delivery or pickup fee it comes out their check and plus a little extra which the company and dispatchers split. Also they never want to show driver any rate confirmation .
     
    mjd4277 Thanks this.

    Sounds typical for a bad employer. How long did you work for them?

    Unfortunately 1 year , money was decent the first 6 months but went downhill once summer came around . Kept giving them chances but in the end I left wishing I would have quit way sooner.

    as you kept giving them chances, did your gut feeling tell you to run from them?

    If your gut feeling tells you something is going on that shouldn’t be happening then more than likely it is…
