Kelle's (Dick Simon's kid)

When I was at Central I heard a smiliar story about Jerry Moyce having warranty issues with Freightliner and thats when he bought Volvos!

 

Yep in the new logo, the skunk has sunglasses.
I think they cannot use the old logo due to the bankruptcy and trade mark issues.

 

Jerry Moyes bought VOLVO trucks as a result of SWIFT landing the contract for delivering the new VOLVO trucks from the factory to the dealers. It was a shgoirt lived contract.

 

Glad I brought back good memories for you. The old man never messed around, his word was always worth something. Hubby and I got our start there, also. Sometimes I wish we had stayed with him, Dick always treated his drivers right.

 

AHAHAHAHA If Kelle's treated their customers the same way they do with their drivers, they'd be out of business! I worked for these bozos for about two months back in the summer of 2010. My truck had a cooling problem and it finally broke down in Rawlins Wyoming. Kelle's shop manager wanted me to drive the truck back to SLC while it continued shutting down while driving. I argued with these idiots for several hours that the truck would shut down after the yellow triangle light on the dashboard would light up. They finally gave me permission to move the truck over to a Cummin dealer in the same town. Unfortunately, the dealer couldn't repair the truck because they were about to close up shop for the weekend. I was in Rawlins for a week before my truck was fixed. When I got back to Kelle's terminal in SLC, I gave Kelle's wife my motel bill so they could reimburse me for my unplanned stay. Kelle's wife said they would not reimburse me at all. I quit that day right after she said that to me. On Kelle's sign posted in front of their building it reads"WE TREAT OUR DRIVERS RIGHT!" What a BUNCH OF BULLSH!T they try peddling. In my eyes Kelle's DON'T TREAT THEIR DRIVERS RIGHT PERIOD.

Kelle is not Dick's brother it is his son...but kelle is the biggest reason Dick simon is no longer a company, a deal with freightliner went bad and kelle didn't pay the insurance bill I worked for Dick from 1987 on a better boss you couldn't find the sons the worst of the worst...when dick tried to retire kelle kept all the companies incoming checks and put them in his own personal account, when he turned control over to the boys they had all their friends put into executive positions and none had any trucking experience let alone business for this and many reasons they had to bankrupt for those of us that knew the Road Pirate Dick Simon we remember his as a kind owner that made it his business to lookout for his drivers...too bad his idiot sons didn't inherit his values.

 

everybody had warranty issues with freightliner...they wouldn't honor half of the stuff on the ####'d trucks that broke and the rest they did you still had to pay part of the bill...

 

oh man that sounds so good

 

by any chance did simon have a walmart dc in monroe ga?
