H&R Transport

hi;
i worked for h and r for 4 years, and i loved it its angreat company with good people. i came over from holland so it was totally new for me and mine wife, but they did taking care of us, show me how everything worked in there industry, i can say its complete different then here in europe. now after 4 years and 2 kids born in canada we went back to europebecause mine wife wanted it, if i was alone i am sure i still drovefor h and r!

 

You have to do what the wife wants!

 

YEP, Happy Wife = Happy Life...........

 

My motto has always been, "Work Smart, Not Hard".

 

Tried that today but nobody would chain up my truck so had to do it myself.

 

That was probably the "smart" thing to do considering the circumstances.

 

After ten years driving trucks i applied at h and r and they called me for road test. I came in and did my best pretrip. The safety guy looked at me and said - Thats it??? There is no need for a road test ...
I was literally crawling in mud checking slack adjusters for half hour just to hear this ?! Screw them. The buddy of mine who went there the next day failed too. It was 4 years ago

 

again for me it was a good companie, in the beginning i took al the trips never say no, hours of service? thats up to me, i came to canada to make some money, after we got kids i wanted dedicated runs up and down from lethbridge to california, sunday morning gone and thirsday or friday back an d 2 days home, it was al possible. however i have seen alot of european drivers who came to canada and wanted to copie the bussines from europe to north america, you cant do that, the same as we have problems now here in europe with cheap east european drivers, if you decide to make a living in a new country do it with open minds forget the past. in every bussines you have smart and good people but also stupid and badpeople.

 

Run, don't walk away from them. They can't keep drivers and have a revloving door of retention. You don't make the miles that they promise, they pay no wait time and treat the drivers like crap. So desperate for drivers that they are recruiting overseas.
