interview with buffalo biodiesel tomorrow

the company i have been working for has been good to me, im not here to complain about them. dump truck is somewhat seasonal and the veteran drivers are getting what work is left. i have not worked since friday. living on unemployment is not enticing, so i guess im looking for something else at least for the winter..... maybe return to my current job in the spring. anyways i have a 9:30 am interview with buffalo biodiesel and i was wondering if anyone here worked for them or had any experience with them?

so far what i know:
class B tanker
$16-20 per hour
paid vacations after a year
local work, home daily

 

i stopped and talked with my boss just to make sure is isnt me..... i have done fine im just at the low end of the totem pole. i just needed to clear my conscious

 

absurd interview so many things felt downright wrong. they have tracking devices on all of the trucks, get caught doing 10 mph over the speed limit for 4 miles automatic termination. i dont speed but i dont need to be threatened before even accepting a job offer. he said that if you get caught taking any short cuts on a pre trip automatic termination. he went on for about 5 minutes telling me how he is going to fire me. look, i know safety is important but if your going to sit there and lecture me on how you are going to fire me, im not going to work for you. pretty simple

adding insult to injury they make you take a stupid and irrelevant "aptitude test". i said what does this test have to do with my ability to drive a truck? they said if i dont like it, leave...... i finished the test just for the sake of finishing it, but it was completely irrelevant and had nothing to do with anything. one word, dumb.

one more thing, they had me pee in a cup before even offering me a job. it was one of those cheap $20 test kits you buy at walmart. this is not normal procedure, while i dont have anything to hide, this just felt wrong. normal procedure is to be offered a job and then sent to a licensed drug test place before you hit the road. this felt completely wrong, and i dont even know if its legal for them to hand you a $20 kit and tell you to go to the bathroom BEFORE a job offer was even presented. the drug test was the type you would give your teenager if you suspected of them doing something.

the trucks are toys, barely even a class B vehicle, reminds me of a flatbed tow truck. when fully loaded they weight 33,000 lbs and they are automatic. driving one of these things is not why i got a CDL. this is not trucking.

the whole thing just smells like fish and i will not be taking a job with them.
