Halvor Lines, Superior, WI: No longer worth it

Wait, do you work for Halvor Lines or Transport America? I can't tell.

 

I spoke with my recruiter as to why things were not at all like he said they would be. I put him on the spot, asking why my company screws drivers as bad as it does. He said, and I quote, "We don't like to call it screwing drivers, we like to call it maximizing company profits."

Yea. Right.

 

Was this at Halvor or a different company?

 

Oh no, totally different company. I just was replying to the one member who said that their company called it "running their business." Ours called it "maximizing profit."

 

I use a hybridized version of those two statements., "I run my business to maximise profits" I work my one employee (me) like my livelihood depended on him.

 

Maybe if you made your employee a little happier you might be able to find a second one.

 

Ain't gonna happen, it's my understanding Inga is out of the country.....

 

Double my employee count? I don't think that is a sustainable paradigm at this time. Of course I'd take Inga back in a heartbeat .

 

No holiday pay, no hometime pay, no sick pay, do not pay for parking, no hub miles (zip code to zip code). Driver manager told me I get a 1/2 cent raise after a year, she then told me 1 cent raise after a year. Terminal manager tells me .04 cents after a year.

I'm out from 4 to 6 weeks at a time and spend a few days home. My average miles are 1,742 per week and my average pay is $896 per week, that's gross. I don't take any insurance so my take home is about $700 a week. I don't refuse any loads and run as hard as the loads are available. Welcome to Halvor.

 

D a m n,that’s bad.
They’re giving it to you raw-time to go!
