My experience at holland enterprises

So what happens if you do a 3,300 mile run that just barely misses cutoff and there was nothing carried over from before?

I'm doing one right now. Delivers east coast with 06:00 appt time on cutoff Tuesday. Not sure if I can get paperwork in on time. But it's not a problem because I have 3,200 from first half of period.

 

No but you can use your phone which is about as good.

 

Yeah that's true. Comes in handy if you drop a load that is close to cutoff and not near a truck stop. I know a few companies still use TripPak! Like, come on now it's 2018..

 

I don't even worry about it. I'm at a point in my life where almost every thing I make with this company is either saved or invested and not even needed to "live"

I have no family and no financial responsibilities other than a mobile phone and storage unit .

 

I use my phone as well for paperwork unless it's one of those places that gives 30 pages of bills ! The Iphone 5 takes some darn good quality pictures

 

I get that, but what do they do about voluntary deductions such as insurance? And what if you had child support deductions? I guess they just have to remember to double-deduct next week? Do they reduce your available vacation time/pay you may have accrued and pay off of that to make up any deficiencies?

 

I have no insurance or deductions other than federal,ss,and medicare . I'm a very simple employee

 

The way it's currently being handled. (Crappy). We can't abuse it.

 

I'm supposed to load at Ken's in Marlborough Saturday afternoon. I've not been to this place before but Google reviews indicate this place sucks bad for excessive loading times (4-6 hours) and provides no on site or early arrival parking.

If I'm not loaded and in/out 3-4 hours, I'm going to have problems with 1st stop appointment time factoring in the 2 required breaks will have to get in in between with no overnight parking at the drop, either.

Any of you guys have any insight on how they treat Holland drivers as far as respecting appointment times and sensible load times?

 

I went to Ken’s twice while I was at Holland. They took an hour and a half to load me up the first time. Second time, 2 hours and 15 mins. If you’re picking up on a Saturday, I doubt they’ll take too long.
