Furniture Row Express

Rumor has it that FRE is going to start paying detention out of their pocket so drivers dont wait then get theirs back from shipper. Also no delays on layover or breakdown pay. Seems Bill got involved.

 

I heard Tennesee was a whiner but never met him. Just dont understand why he ison here whining now. Just move on

 

I finally got paid detention pay from my load that I sat in Greeley waiting on JBS for 40 hours before Felix got me switched onto a different load. I will also get detention when for the 27 hours I sat in Grand Island last week waiting on that load too. It took some doing on my part, but it has been rectified. I know there are others out there that haven't been paid for certain things. Just do what I did. In a calm matter, put together an e-mail with dates and load numbers, and be as polite as you can when addressing the issues you are having. Send it to Bill Smith so he is made aware of the circumstances. He will send your e-mail off to the appropriate people and get the ball moving. If you are angry and have a bad attitude in your e-mail, you most likely will not get the help you need to make things right.

I know Tennessee sent his email and he even posted it for us to read here. His situation did not get resolved to his satisfaction, so he left and found something different. You have to remember that. If you don't feel you are being treated fairly or cannot live with the bad outweighing the good (again, it has to be in your opinion) then you have the option to leave. I have thought about it a few times over the past couple of months. But, once I brought up the issues to the right people, enough things were taken care of to my satisfaction that I have decided to stay around. I want to see this company grow into what it has the potential to be and to be a part of that would be very nice.

 

because I can be Greg!

 

and you would whine too if you were only getting 1500 miles a week, and dont say you wouldn't because I've heard it
