Ripped up my check in front of me!!Beware of Raider Express in Fort Worth Texas

I'm just surprised there was still a recruiter involved since at that point you were probably already an employee of the company. It should have been between you and whoever was in charge of payroll, not the recruiter. Besides that, he obviously did not have your best interests in mind.

 

You have to understand the Raider Express "Family"

 

"The Real Story"?
From what I read from both sides, I didn't see an explanation of WHY ANY employer would think that it is ok to swear, and throw a tantrum, at an employee. To me, that says it in a nutshell. If you can't use your authority with professionalism, you have lost most people's respect. Period. Regardless of whether or not this "former" employee (roadkill) was in the wrong, composure is KEY in a management position. Your response totally turned me off to your "company", which I hope is under investigation. My husband and I had a similar experience with a slob who contracts with USXpress. He used our Life Insurance payments to pay his bills, and we found out that our insurance hadn't been paid for, even though it was payroll deduct, and strictly an employee funded plan. Believe it or not, honesty is THE best policy, AND...what goes around comes around. If YOU and your company are in the wrong, Pandora's box has been opened and you will be found out. Possibly a learning curve for you and your so-called company? Who cares if the guy is a whiner! Sounds like a perfect fit! Cheers! : D

 

Just a question, does anybody under the age of 40 at that company have a neck? I mean I'm sure they are a swell bunch of guys to hang out with, do kegstands with and talk about how awesome in college they were. But come on. As for how did they find this post, I'm guessing they sit around all day long and google search their company, just like I did theirs, and I would like to thank them for adding me as their friend earlier today!

You guys are cute, but really, you shouldn't be putting pictures like that on the internet if you want to play professional!

 

If that is how this company treats it's drivers face to face, just imagine how they treat the drivers when no one is looking!

 

that one egglewhatever chick is pretty hot. ya know, the one that is my age....you think she'd go for me? i don't care if i'd have to deal with her bro-ham jock d-bag brother who is the company's cfo.

 

yeah, that Dustin guy looks like a complete tool...

 

If that was so, then why do most companies that I have worked for (only 4 companies in 30 years of trucking) not have a program that requires qualified dispatchers to go on the road and actually do the job like all the other drivers do? I tried the office job and would much rather be on the road. Offices and me just don't get along for some odd reason but I still remember enough of how to dispatch and do the computer work that i could walk in, sit down, log onto the system and get the job done if I needed to. Several of our dispatchers requested through management to be allowed to do the quaterly ride-a-long for a week. A couple of these were former drivers that could still pass a drivers physical. One bailed out at a truck stop on the driver (or so the story goes) because the regular driver SNORED! I heard this from the drivers own lips (as he was LHAO). The former driver dispatcher is also no longer employed at Arnold. So, yes, I can feel the lad's pain. I have seen it all before in other companies. Lies? We don't keep joke books for nuthin'! But, when a desk jockey is told to lie by management, well, sooner or later it will come back to bite them. Is the originall poster lieing (Lyeing, how ever it is spelled)? Don't know, don't care, nothing is changing or will change until someone with big brass ones steps in and straightens this mess we have for a transportation industry out. There are good companies and there are bad. Which is more is a good question. Hope this lad gets satisfaction though.

 

Opeth is being smart. Yes, it's very tempting, when treated like that, to stomp a mudhole in the aggressor's butt and walk it dry. But then Opeth would be in jail and have a whole mess of legal hassles. He knows he's in the right, and he's getting the law in on this. The law would be far less receptive if he'd simply stomped the guy.

I used to swing at the slightest provocation. Time was, you could get away with that. But not these days. If you want to win overall, you have to look farther ahead than the next punch. I learned that eventually.
