Morgan southern

Call Jim Morgan in Atlanta and tell him what's going on. He's a good guy. I'm an O/O in St Louis and there's nonsense that goes on up here too.

 

I was in the same boat years ago with another company. I was forced to refinance my truck.

Good luck

Not me personally, but others at my terminal. It wouldn't hurt to just call him and tell him that you're being looked over for work while others are running.

 

SGreer, can you tell me about Morgan Southern or anyother intermodal carriers in St. Louis? I have applications from Roadlink, and from Meyer. Rate per mile, detention, rough annual gross? Thanks, MikMichael

 

Morgan southern is a ripoff from day1....they 44% of what the load pays out but wont show you what the load pays but only tells you....after a misfortune by a new dispatcher i was given a load with the load information on a morgan southern dispatch card and the load i had paid $341....company agreed to 44% but i was told by k.m. Term mgr. That we get 44% of half the load which is still $75. The actual amount they pay is $23 without mileage pay.....i was terminated for exposing this but the reason given was for somthing enitrely different.....im putting them on blast for everyone to see and steer clear of these guys....they also require you to drive 14hrs to make a decent wage and in some case drivers drive 18hrs....morgan is as shady as they come if you need more info just reply.....OH I DIDNT MENTION THAT THIS IS A LOCAL JOB....THEY ASLO DO HARBOR WORK WHICH IS SLAVE LABOR WITH MORGAN RATES

 

i was offered a job with Andrus Transportation out of ST. George UT.....this company was awful.....their trucks are junk!....all of them....i drove for 4weeks then offered a local job at 15hr....that local job told me as soon as i quit Andrus i will be hired.....i quit.....got my TWIC card.....took the physical....drug test....and then didnt hear from them for 5 weeks....i called and called and all i got was lies and run around from the lady who hired me....finally i started working 5 weeks after physical to find out $15hr was not gonna happen but 32% of the load was what i was offered....by then i was so disgusted but needed money....i took the job hauling to the ports and quit 2months late because i sat at NYK port for 9hrs on a saturday with 1 load and only made $28.....march 2010 i ran into morgan southern and discovered they are among the worst i have driven for in terms of ripoff......i am currently not working for them as of may 28th 2010....i am tryin to get out of the trucking industry because all companies want to do nowadays is rip drivers off and use the bad economy as a means for explaining their unethical business practices....i have had the worst luck with companies in the last year and its because JBHUNT dinged my DAC so bad that all thats available to me is bottom feeder companies.....ironically I was contacted by a JBHUNT recruiter yesterday because my MVR is clean and offered a job with the same terminal who fired me for said so-called preventables......im done with trucking

 

Well I hate to say it but, The best thing to do is suck up your pride go back to JB. Then look for work elsewere. See if you get rehired you can tell other companies "If i was such a unsafe driver why did they rehire me.

Second had same thing happen with CR England, They put a abandoment on my DAC and refuesed to take it off. Although Iturned truck intio SLC yard. I allowed a relief driver put into the lease truck(BAD IDEA) and he abandoned it. (Relief Drivers are company drivers) I was not notified he abandoned it I didn't pick the driver CR was in charge of that. Anyway I sit at home hearing the same thing from big companys like you. I called OOIDA 1 hr later my DAC was clean I hasd a letter of referal from CR human resources as well as a job offer to return from them. I declined and went to O & S instead.
