Halvor Lines, Superior, WI: No longer worth it

Unfortunately, as the economy continues to slow in the demand for drivers decreases, you’re going to see more and more stories like this. We all know this industry. Trucking companies will cut back and take from drivers whatever they feel they can get away with until it’s literally a bare-bones minimum job. Most of you, including myself, should have in your mind what minimum standards are required to keep you in this industry, and when they can no longer be met, it’s probably time to jump ship. For me? I won’t live out on the road in a metal box for three weeks at a time like a caged animal for anything less than $1200 a week going into my bank account and that means after all deductions. And I expect at a minimum good healthcare benefits. If I’m not getting those two things? I’m gone.

 

I looked at their FMCSA data. Still no inspections in Canada.

Have they stopped sending their new hires there? (For no extra pay)

 

Any Halvor Lines drivers that are currently working there viewing this thread still...I'm looking to get in contact with with a few currently employed drivers. Thanks!

 

They have had a fatality attached to their crashes record- which is up to 45 now.

 

Don't mind me, Just giving this thread the bump and attention it deserves.

 

I'm surprised there isn't more fatalities with as dangerous as their trucks and drivers are.

They are really getting desperate, the "Best fleets to drive for* fraud, which everyone knows is a joke, isn't enough for them anymore. Now they want to be voted for some "Elite Fleet" garbage.
