Hirschbach Motorlines/Liars,cheats and thieves!

All the yrs ive been driving has been OTR and finally got sick of staying out a month or longer and needed a brake.I may go back OTR one of these days.Right now im liking being home every day just not liking the pay.If I find another local job ill be quitting this one but be doing the right thing and giving her a 2 weeks notice because my boss is so nice and I can't complain about anyone at the company,I get along everybody.

 

My company has a bad rep like this company does but so far all the drivers I have spoke with and many are OTR have been there for 5 yrs or longer and not one had a bad thing to say sbout them.I'm kind of like the center of attention there because im the only female local driver and there's like 30 local drivers,lol.One guy said the 9 yrs hes been there i'm the first female driver,lol.

 

That is so awesome. I know, I miss being home every night cooking, cleaning, etc. I worked as a supervisor for a security company for over 5 years until I hurt my knee. Had surgery and the doctor did a real cut up job on my knee, so I had to give that career up. But I do wish you the best of luck in finding something in your line of work.

 

Thank you much,i'll find something.Many local jobs pays hourly which would be nice.Magnum pays $15.00 an hr.So i'll try them first.

 

I started driving for Hirschbach a little over a month ago, and so far, I am very happy. I am giving the L/O a try (mainly because of the incentives) and if it doesn't work out, then I will go company. My miles aren't the greatest, but they are improving.

One thing I really like is that I can call my FM, give him my name, and he knows exactly who I am. It is nice being treated like a person instead of a truck number.

I get reimbursed for all tolls and lumpers. I get detention pay without having to say one word.

 

Hi Air Breeze, thank you, I do appreciate your apology. I do understand how you feel about a company not standing up to their promises in which they made to you. However, I do believe that there are so many companies out there that actually do that just to get you into orientation. I am very happy that you have found a good company that you believe in. I wish you the best in your endeavors.

 

I don't understand why so many drivers that lease a truck seem so happy that they are paid accessorial charges, detention, fuel offsets etc., those are not gifts from the carrier because they love you. The carriers are billing the shippers and if you are a real bona-fide lessor and not just renting a truck then you are entitled to those payments.

If the carrier is not passing that $ on to the truck then you are either being robbed, or you are just renting a truck. I know absolutely nothing about Hirshbach so this post is not a dig at them.

 

They'll tell you that you can go company. From experience, you can go company to lease, but every lease driver trying to go company gets refused. You have to hire in company.

When did they start allowing you to run toll roads? We always had to dodge them unless a rare no choice but to run one. Detention was always good. Sometimes you had to wait up to 3 weeks when they got paid and they passed it down.

One thing to watch is your per diem. They were claiming half my paycheck as per diem. Way too much! Then they don't put it on your W-2.

 

With turnover getting out of control this is actually an option.

Routing is calculated by a computer, so if it determines toll road is best for the load toll road will be taken. Any tolls that are on the route provided are reimbursed.
