DBM Logistics/BRS Express

If you are looking for a position in Akron, Ohio, these two are sister companies. They are run by a pair of siblings, and they do not treat their drivers well. They will attempt to get you to run illegal, for starters. The dispatch at DBM has not made herself familiar with the DOT laws, and she will push you to run beyond what you are supposed to. You will be out all week, not return until around ten or eleven o'clock at night on Friday, and you will be expected to leave on Sunday morning. You are not allowed to take toll roads, yet she will send you hundreds of miles out of the way with the truck loaded fairly heavily. She will expect you to split the fuel expense and insurance expense while driving her truck, and she will give you a 10-99 form at tax time. You don't get benefits with this company. If there is a problem, she will not talk to you directly. She will send her father or brother to straighten it out. And, when you leave, she will keep your last check. She will also speak in a foreign language with her relatives right in front of you so you don't know what they are saying. The father did his best to treat us well, but he couldn't negate the stuff done by his kids.

When we ran for them, we had something very serious happen with the truck that could have endangered our lives. She didn't seem to be too concerned about us. She was more worried about her truck. I did edit this comment so it wouldn't say what happened so I cannot be accused of slander, per say. If you want to know what was originally here that I took off, feel free to message me. But, whatever you do, please stay away from this company!

 

She may be physically attractive. but she's a real piece of work.

As for the truck interior being trashed, it was actually decent when we had it. We had to clean it out, but we kept it clean. We haven't worked there in quite some time, and we would never go back. It makes me wonder who trashed the inside of the truck.

 

As a matter of fact, I was for a while after that! . I have a very full head of hair, but it was really getting thin there for a while. We were actually feeling a little sick for some time after that particular experience.

 

I forgot to mention that it is forced dispatch, and you don't get a say in where you go. You will be doing a lot of New York. We would be up there two or three days per week, every week. She sent us to West Virginia a lot, too. There was also a LOT of sitting! She didn't get you out of places and on the road. We found ourselves sitting and waiting for hours. Whenever something went wrong with the truck, they blamed the driver.
