    How about this for company that just doesnt care about tbeir drivers...after sitting in their yard for five days while my truck was in a dealers shop for "recalls"....i get a ride to pick up my trruck. I gathered my "stuff" but for got the contents of my fridge that i salvaged from the fridge in my truck five days earlier...company would not allow me to return to terminal 21 miles away!! After 5 days in their terminal, drivers can imagine how much money i now had on me....and $$$$ worth of food is 21 miles away!!! Nice outfit! Promisez are made and they dangle that carrot out there for you but you will never atch it! Like so many, they dont car e...just get some drivers thru "orientation" next week...

    You sat 5 days??????????????????Did they even pay you for layover pay?Did you ask them about borrowing another trk?I would have after the first day.It's not fair to drivers to just sit and sit.See companies like this get subsidy money thanks to us so why should they care who sits and for how long.I think you'd be wise to just head home and find a company with miles or at least don't sit so much.What did you do for that 5 days?

    usually companies do things like this to starve out a lazy or unmotivated driver. not saying your lazy driver.

    Isn't this the company that was going out of business and the town of Seward NE came to their rescue so that the citizens wouldn't lose their jobs?

    No idea, but if so, that is pretty cool, IMHO. Local saving local.

    Yep same seward. Its not cool actually they wouldve been better off letting that company go out of business. They aint dont nothing for years so whats the point of saving that company. Hell their yard was nothing but a 6ft tall gated fence with a bunch of beat up 53 vans and beat up tractors sitting there last time i drove by in sept. Was a hell hold 20 years ago and its a hell hole now imho!
