Quality Carriers

Be very cautious when choosing this company to drive for. They are the biggest tanker company in the US. Very successful & traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Down side is that most ALL of their Terminals are affiliates that are independently owned and operate under QC jurisdiction. Most of these operations are trucking companies that failed to operate successfully on their own and are very poorly operated. They ignore most safety issues because Quality is very relaxed on enforcement and they don't give a crap about the safety of their drivers. They will attempt to give drivers sub-standard equipment and you will be required to fill out inspection reports on every trailer you pickup. You may miss a scratch or a dent and you will be charged with the damage whether you did it or not. Some of the terminals are Teamster. Be even more cautious of these because 90 percent of the new employees will work their 60 day probationary period and then be terminated so the terminal will not have to pay your pension & benefit package as promised. What they don't tell you in orientation is that you have absolutely 0 recourse if you are released after you finish your 60 day probation period. All the Terminal has to say is, "You failed your 60 days". It does not matter if you were on time for every pickup & delivery and never had a spill or were never written up for any infraction with no accidents. QC will offer you a transfer to one of their affiliates in Texas, most likely Houston because they have trouble retaining drivers there. You will average about $400 a week there.

 

I never knew what QC used to be but I can tell you that now it is a Missouri Boat Ride complete with a big bowell movement.
