I lost my job today.

Start with a company like Roehl. They'll micromanage every move that you make, but if you listen to what they preach to you you will learn how to run safe and legal. Take that knowledge down the road and apply it to a place where you can get more miles.

 

Christ, doesn't anyone know this is just the way things are? Companies, in any industry, will operate outside of the boundaries of the law to make money.

"Oh, what happens if your mother gets run over by one of these trucks"? Most successful companies, in any industry today, have broken 1001 laws to make money and build their business; I'm not saying it's right, I''m just saying it's just the way things are.

LMAO at Roehl teaching you how to "run"....

Just move on with your new job; people need to stop policing..

 

Dammn it driver.

 

Or they run heavy to compensate for low tonnage rates. 80,000 causes damage any extra causes more damage, avoiding tax while a popular past time is illegal and another avenue for covering for cheaper rates by pocketing it, same as cut rate or no insurance.

Well opinions are like sphincters everybody has at least one and many have two spewing crap from both.

Waiting for the cops to finally do their job and shut down lowlifes like these takes far to long.

Waiting for their actions to finally cause someone great harm is unacceptable.

Some times karma just needs a little help in leveling the scales of justice.

 

I do agree to a point, but not all heavy haulers are doing it to compensate for low rates. If it doesn't pay enough on 40k then it sure don't pay enough with 50k! I'm a firm believer in that.

As for the valve stem deal, that will only get you hurt, eventually. So really it isn't worth it and really makes you no better than this company. By doing this it will only turn them into the victim, we don't want that.

 

Personal gain my arse,,,,, 900 you suk,,,I worked for a guy like this and believe me its NO fun, this type of guy COST you money routing around scales 40 to 100 extra miles ,,,, you loose time and money. I say good rideance to DOBBS TRUCKING Cheyenne Wyoming and to this Guy toooo!

 

Oh no!

I guess I'll probably hate myself in the morning...But we'll see.

YEP! I agree....Guys like that are a drag to work for, But that's not what I was talking about.

Getting a reputation of being a snitch is what I was addressing....Nobody likes a rat except another rat!

 

Nobodies life was saved here....Nobodies life was ever in danger in this situation. 81,000 pounds? So what?

A driver without a license is the only issue that I see that's serious.
Lot's of these sleazy dump truck outfits operate like that and have for years...It's not right but it's really not hurting anyone either.
I don't condone the practice but I also know that in many cases the "Oh so respected" law enforcement community turns a blind eye to these carriers even when they know what's going on.

Dropping a dime just gets a guy a reputation that'll follow him forever and it just isn't worth it!
