Do not drive for Gray Transportation out of Waterloo, Iowa.

I would say it comes down to driver error, when I do my pre and post trips, I get things taken care of immediately, if its a truck issue, I call the ryder National 888 number and get it fixed no matter where I am at in the country, if its a trailer issue, I call the shop and it gets fixed. I would only assume its hook and book and then get caught on the scales. I had a lvl 2 in Minnesota and passed. It may cost me a few hours during the day to get something addressed but at the end of the week it doesn’t hurt my miles as I usually have to take a 34 after 6 days anyway.

 

There’s more to it than just vehicle maintenance. The company has numerous violations on record for speeding, in particular out of Tennessee, Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota, and Iowa. It seems that some of your associates are speed demons!

 

That is driver error and its not me

 

Jason where do you mostly run and how long have you worked for Gray?

 

That’s a weird looking Volvo

 

Short body 670 Series condo sleeper. They’re everywhere. Heck I used to drive one. Unlike the 780 models the 670 could handle 44,000+ pound bottled water loads(albeit with fuel restrictions) and still get past scale houses.

 

Would this be considered a gray area?

 

I run east, and west. I live in Davenport so I usually get drop and hooks from there going east and going west, California, Arizona, Oregon, then east I go to Richmond Va, or Benson NC, or Dunn NC, then bounce up to Syracuse Ny, taking 95 to 64 to 81. Not bad at all. Some Tennessee out of Syracuse. I have worked for them for about 2 months. I have put 22,510 miles on this truck. I started 4-19-18 and have been home for a total of 10 days. I usually run 4 weeks then take a week off.

 

I am picking up the 75” condo sleeper next Monday they have the 2019 volvos coming in, updating the fleet.

 

I am on my way to Pheonix and am at Atwood Co taking my 30 minute break. So I am a real driver not some office person
