crosby trucking

If you are there, sounds like it is time to scoot!

 

You need to realize who you are working for. Oh, I know all the Crosby family and Hunter is the only one that I would trust in an "out house with a muzzle on".

 

So...is Crosby an OK company for a newbi driver???

They came to our CDL school and honestly, I had a very favorable opinion of them and strongly considering asking them for a starting position.

The option is to go to a larger company like Schneider or USA Trucking, as far as I can tell.

Any advice welcome

 

scneider would be your best bet,out of the ones you posted.

 

i used to work for crosby... yes they will get what they can from u... if u have a good truck and want to run,,, u can make money as o/o.... as company,,,, no way.. they dont care,, i baught a truck from them and left a company i worked for 8 years.. john berry told us we had year warrenty on motor, 4 months later head went and oil cooler.. he backed out and told us 30 days.. so he got the truck back, and i went somewhere else. plus they do run u out of hours and have a bad dot rating..

 

run from crosby!!!!!!!! worse company from management wise ive ever driven for.... if they had the miles to keep you rolling then it would be a pretty decent gig but outside of that they are horrible!!! with other options in the Valley like Houff and First Fleet i dont see why guys even bother.... but sad thing about it the guys out of the Indiana Terminal gets freight out the ###... when i was there i would never hear an Indiana Driver complain...

 

Truth. 100% of it. They have absolutely ZERO respect for HOS rules, and will run you into the ground, then get pissed off if you decide to not answer your phone because you want to sleep a little. The store runs are crap, and will beat the hell out of you quickly, usually followed by a dispatch to pickup somewhere and run to a drop that guarantees you'll be up 24+ hours.

The equipment is junk, falling apart, and god forbid you ask the morons in the Mt Sidney garage to fix something.

 

No. Trust me on this.... don't do it.

 

That is absolutely the case. I left there in June of 2010. Parked the truck in the Charlotte yard, cleaned it up. It sparkled inside. MUCH cleaner than how I got it. They called me twice over the next six months trying to get me to come back. Another driver told me in July of 2010 that they started doing Marshalls store runs in downtown Chicago with NO directions to the stores?

They will not flat out ask you to massage your logs, but my third day on the job when I told Josh I was out of hours, his response was "cant you fix it?"

Talked to a driver in one of the Petes' that is still running a few months ago in Charlotte at the Peelot. He was absolutely PISSED. Said that the loads are going to the O/O's and the company drivers have been sitting.

I heard that they lost a big chunk of the Marshalls/TJ Maxx contract, is that true?
