Seward motor freight ! stay away ! Mega carrier

Why would you think they should pay for the driver’s funeral?

Send the body home? That’s probably because they pull dry vans. Now, if they were a reefer outfit, they’d have probably taken care of that.

 

Since when is it a trucking company’s obligation to send the body home and pay for the funeral? The amount of stupid in that post is mind boggling. Drivers die all the time in their trucks, it happens. But it’s not a company’s responsibility to handle that. Depending on the cause of death will determine who removes the body from the cab. Either a funeral home will do it or a coroner. Any next of kin is notified and they arrange the transportation of the body and burial arrangements. C’mon man. Are trucking companies in the funeral business too now? You got on your eyeglasses but you’re still not seeing things clearly

 

I only expected us mere mortals to be commenting on this thread.

 

Think joeyeyeglasses is a troll..hes on utube making stupid comments also. Dont think he has a life. Lives in his mommas basement!?

 

Tenneco automotive used to have plants in Seward and cozad nebr .
About 10 years ago those plants closed and moved to Mexico and they were SMFs bread and butter ...they have struggled every since .
Lozier used to be good freight that paid excellent detension time every time but now it's all brokered thru ch Robinson so it's nothing to write home about .
Another freight loss that kicked sewards arse was the closure of qubecore in Lincoln which moved to chicago .
Having Werner in they're backyard doesent help either .
They good days of dry van work around Omaha died quite a while ago with Werner , FCC and Crete scooping up what's left .
So OP if you live in Omaha and are a real truck driver who wants miles and home time call Wn Morehouse .

 

I disagree. If a OTR company requires you to be in the care of their equipment & dictates what you can or can't do on the road during your off time. Then they should also be responsible to pay any cost associated with getting you back to the city you left from dead or alive.
When I started driving you could do what you wanted on your time off as long as you did your job. But now days a company driver is on the job from the time he gets into the truck till he gets back.
They should pay to get that driver home & I don't think anyone expects them to pay for the funeral .
