Right now I feel stupid. I left and went back for a complete screwing. They terminated me because I spoke my peace. because I told them that their new idle and mpg was outrageous and there was no way anybody could do that in extreme heat. That no matter what we would loose. either die from the heat or cold or loose our jobs because of low mpgs and high idle time. Also, because their great I am terminal manager in Ga. had it out for me. Theharrassment and racist remarks he made to me and about me went untouched by corporate, when told about it. But, when I spoke out as all other drivers did, I was singled out by this Ga manager and terminated. Denied unemployment, they have told several different stories to the unemployment people and now they are grasping straws to keep my appeals going. GUESS WHAT GAINEY DOESN'T OWN THEM ANY MORE AND THE NEW COMPANY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THEY BOUGHT OUT GAINEY, LCT, AND SUPER SERVICE. IS IT NOW AGAINST THE LAW FOR THEM TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT MY UNEMPLOYMENT SINCE I HAVEN'T WORKED FOR THEM UNDER THEIR NEW OWNER? They've been bought out long enough for the equipment to have new tags and registration on them. But they attended the last appeal hearing which was less than a month ago.. Don't that sound a little discriminatory and out to get you if you were in my shoes? Help me! Need to know who bought Gainey, Super Service , and LCT. So, I can find out the date to report to the DOL. Maybe I Will be able to have the main neccessities again. Right now the only time I have internet is when I babysit for a neighbor, I eat only when I babysit, and bath then to and wash clothes. I sleep in an old house owned by some people I know who live elsewhere but let me stay there. No heat, NO electricity, do have running water and bathroom. no way to cook or heat . I lost everything because of this act of hatred and now they are still giving negative reports(blackballing) me on job references. All because they were afraid, this terminal manager would sue them. Lots of females and males of my race were discriminated against and lost their jobsbecause of this one man. God Doesn't Like Ugly In Any Form. tonight it will be 20 to 25degrees. Somehow I will b okay. Well, gotta go.

They have been sold out to another company they are not owned by gainey. Gainey, Super Service and Lct has been bought out of bankruptcy court by another company and they are not paying anybody that quit or was terminated from June 2009 til present. Good Luck

Wayzata Capital, an investment firm bought them out. Research them...Good Luck.

You have every right to know the health and well being of a company you are considering working for. As they will ask you for all your personal information I will argue they (the company) in return owe you some information relation to their financial viability and your future.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CHECK THEM OUT B4 YOU SAY YES!

This company sucks my boyfriend works for this company. The equipment is in poor condition, and not maintain good at all, servicing is not done regularly at all. as of right now he need tires and the clutch needs adjusting. his brakes are grabbing and the trailers are always needing their brakes adjusted in order to slide axles and most of the trailers in the fleet has a light or two out. If you need a tire replaced they will tell you to run it till it comes off the rim. Not only that; if you need something fixed on the tractor this is their favorite line" We'll get you by somerset KY which rarely happens. 9x's out of 10 you are on the side of the road when it fixed and then super service and the mechanic are arguing about the price and it is always higher than the original price that was wrote out so get int he practice of doing a through pre trip and post trip and notate any defect. keep a log of who you talked to about the defect and when it was fixed and anything that can be helpful if something goes wrong and you are involved in a accident due to faulty equipment. Now they want drivers to keep idle time at 35% which is company standards. which mean if there is too many freezing cold days in the winter you probably get fired for not meeting or complying with company standards. I was cleaning out my boyfriend truck back in October and there was a message on there like this if you want to keep working here get the idle time down to company standards or be termed in so many words, at the time it was 59%; in a couple of months from now it will be spring and summer which means the truck will be idling to keep cool because you will be waiting on a load which he does a lot of. There was another message bragging on a LCT(Lester Coggins) truck that was getting 9mpg which probably has a APU on it So after reading these messages I went out and bought him a 9vlt heater to try and reduce his idling time in the winter and now the batteries on the truck are weak and if left running overnight he will have to call road break down for a jump, so my next step in a camping heater that uses propane that can be purchased at Walmart for $50.00 and all he has to do is purchase the camping propane. I do this because i love him and don't want him sick and we can't afford the job loss, the economy is too bad now for him to be out of work. I am already trying out new techniques to keep him cool and comfortably in the spring and summer months will post them in early spring if i find one online. If you are planing to work for this company in the future here is a few things you should know 1 you get no pay for orientation, 2. cash advances is only 30.00 a day that sucks, 3.The Equipment is not well maintained 4. learn to adjust trailer brakes 5. Find something to chock trailer wheels in order to slide tandems because they are not maintain either and a lot of them are very old trailers all the decent ones went back due to the wachovia lawsuit from earlier last year and the current bankruptcy ongoing. Currently layed off or fired 200 drivers because they don't have the customer to support a fleet of 600 truck so about 200 truck are going back to worldwide as part of the bankruptcy order. 6. pack very light you probably quit after a month or less. 7. will have to wait 2 weeks before 1st paycheck and watch out because you will be living off cash advances regularly at this company. 8. Super Service pays mileage based on zip code to zip code so if you have a laptop and Internet connection take it with you before accepting any load check mileage via map quest and your hours to see if you can deliver it on time if not do not accept and put why. 650 miles is the most you can do in a 11hr period safely( this is based on light traffic, running at night, good weather conditions and no breakdown basically a great day and we all know they are not that often) morning, lunch, evening traffic reduces mileage mention above by 100-150 miles. Log everything as done especially fueling and loading and unloading this is how the unit is tracked so don't lie about it. 9. Fill out all info in the log book and Always keep it current up to the last duty change this company is in constant hot water with DOT so you will be pulled in quite frequently in Tenn, KY,MD. and if place out of service for log book be prepared to be fired new company policy. 10. try to steer clear of doing favors for this company and any other companies that start asking via cell phone( this is done b/cause it can't be track through company telephone lines and Qualcomm so it's like it never was asked of in the first place this method has no paper trail and it widely used and abused by trucking company Get Everything done via Qualcomm this has a paper trail and records can be subpoena by a court for evidence) if you are out of hrs park unit it's not worth the the hassle of cops, DOT, and paperwork, your licenses, and your DAC( once something is put on you DAC report is is hard to dispute and it follows you for life very rarely does a company go back and changes something on it and USIS is a very one sided company it always your word against the company and the company is always right no matter what)if you are involved in a incident or accident or placed out of service because you're the one has to answer and you will answer to somebody by yourself and super-service will not pay a ticket or stand behind you in a lawsuit or court and the judge is not going to want to hear my dispatcher /fleetmanager told me to or he called me on the cell phone and told me this or that. Lastly protect yourself get a prepaid lawyer that is familiar with DOT regulations, and check a companies safety stats just type in trucking companies safety stats in google it will tell you how to interpret it and understand it check your DAC report regularly and get inaccurate thing taken care of before you leave a company don't take the company word that it is taken care of check and verify before you leave. your DAC keep it clean because it's the key to a healthy career.
