Doug Andrus Distributing

Just be patient they will come.

 

If I quit a OTR company everytime I broke the cookie cutter rules that govern OTR trucking, I would probably have 20 companies in the last 10yrs on my resume instead of 2.
As a solo driver it's kinda hard to break HOS rules since the logs are integrated with the ECM & have a battery back-up. Once you confirm they can't be changed. Does Andrus have a different system then what I'm aware of? So when off the training truck you were still worried you couldn't be Dudley Do Right?
The safety dept at most OTR companies are like hot dogs. Its all about presentation not the actual content of the product. And even Dudley Do Right would break the law if he was a OTR trucker.

 

Quick update on this post. This driver did turn his logs over the DOT. We received a visit with an auditor that was here almost a full week for over 8 hours a day. We passed with flying colors. The comment made to this driver about all of the drivers we have that are have driven over 500,000 safe miles or more was accurate. Most veteran drivers know that drivers don't stay with companies that act like this driver claimed we acted. Bash if you want but our safety scores are excellent and our retention is well above average.

 

Nice to see a rebutle.

 

Thanks, was going to include the entire email with this guy. We had nothing but nice things to say about him, and apologized big time that it didn't work out. Wished him well. This driver is probably a really good one. Ours was his first OTR job out of CDL school. His trainer has been a trainer for us for many years and has so many good trainee reviews that he is one of our best. I have no idea what happened between these guys and it's too bad it went south. I hope this driver has a great career.

 

CB has an off switch. Drive the limit and eff him.

 

Aftet the old man retired/died?? and the boys took over it all kinda went to hell... Or so I have heard. I know alot of people that have driven there over the years, most say they wont work there now that the boys are running the show.

 

from what I’ve seen the people who drive for that company are idiots. Almost had one tried to take the nose off my truck because he had to get to the love’s fuel island before everyone else.
