    Only a recommendation for you prospective drivers for Radeon Transport: Here they are not governed by DOT rules. Be ready to work from 14 to 18 hours, and many times you will prefer to sleep in the truck, because here the 10 hours between shifts do not apply; You will barely have about 4 hours to go to your house and take a nap and return to work to meet the client with the appointment time. Remember that here in Radeon Transport they usually offer to pay you a percentage of 27% of the "value" of the freight for the cargo, which you will never be able to verify that the payment you receive is the correct one since you will never see proof of the payment that really they receive for said load. You also expect that 90% or always you will be overweight, and Radeon Transport does not pay for it, therefore you will have to look for longer and tedious routes to avoid the scales at the weight control stations. And never expect to be paid for detention time, as they promise but never get paid. Also, if you are lucky they will give you a truck in good condition and without problems, because the new trucks are for the pawns that have been working for them for some time. And worst of all: Do not quit if you get bored of working for Radeon Transport, because they will look for ways and enough excuses to reduce your last paycheck to you or probably not even pay you for your last week or days of work as they did. to me. And I also advise you to keep your copies of your "Real Log Book" even if you cannot show it to the DOT in case they stop you to check your work hours, as you will always be violating the DOT rules. Always keep your other "Fake" log book to show in case of an inspection. I wish you good luck with these people if you plan to work for them! And remember that you will always be giving away your work to them.

    What's the story behind "not governed by DOT rules"?
