super service

"Mr. Gainey" no longer owns Super Service. He put it into bankruptcy. It is now owned by an investment group. Opinions cannot be based on how it used to be. The name may be the same but it is a whole new company. It is not a bad company to work for. Believe me there are far worse. There are some dispatchers there (as well with any other companies) that are jerks and can make your life miserable, but that doesn't mean that it is a bad company. A good working relationship with a good dispatcher can make things alot more pleasant. Keep in mind that it is the dipatcher that is responsible for getting you home and getting you good miles. And if payroll screws up, and I will admit they do, then it is an employee and not Super Service that did it. But without making formal complaints about the employees that do these things than it will never change.

 

Well, click on the history.

Numbers speak for themselves.

And the numbers are getting worse !!!!!

Well and tell you there planning sucks. Unload early in the morning and set alday waiting for load.

 

Thanks to you Windcatcher.....I stopped reading this thread on the first page. I refuse to read ######## like that. Hurts my head. Form a God #### sentence for the love of Christ!!!

 

No disrespect but i wouldn't call your bf a truck driver a good driver will know his truck and will know how to work on it not ##### about it and expect someone to be there every moment to hold his hand. Obviously he dont take pride in his job because you have to clean his truck and adjusting trailer brakes is about as simple as cleaning the truck which obviously he can't do either. so my advice would be tell him to quit ######## drive the #### truck and be a real driver or go flip burgers. im 22 years old and know how to adjust trailer and tractor brakes. i drive for Super Service and i have no complaints they do pay you for orientation and as like every job they will hold back a week. for example, if you get paid once a week it will take two weeks to get your first check. if you get paid every two weeks it will take three weeks to get your first check its the way the world works. and super service has better equiptment than alot of companies. thats just my opinion it the drivers that dont want to work and want to be home every min that dont make money theres freight out there to be hauled you just got to step up and do your job!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

@ghost21
No disrespect to you "driver",but I think you're just a smart ##### kid.The job description is to drive a truck from point A to point B,I've yet to see a company that asks or somehow expects me to work on their equipment(especially for free).If you're not a certified mechanic then you have no business tinkering with the equipment.Aside from replacing a light or something minimal like that,a driver shouldn't mess with the equipment unless he/she understands fully what effects their actions will have on the equipment.If somehow you over adjust the brakes or something of that nature & it results in equipment damage,then it's your #####,& I don't even want to begin to think what might happen if your "tinkering" with the equipment results in an accident.For your sake & that of the motorists around you,Please stick to doing what's in your job description & leaving everything else to the people that get paid to do it.

P.S Lay off on the "know it all attitude"

Smart ### kid huh? well sweetheart i ###### promise you after your bf get done paying fines for brakes out of adjustment that you will learn how yes our job describtion is drive the truck but as a good trucker knows you have to protect your self and not depend on others and over adjusting brakes? if your the dumb ### that turns the 9/16 adjustment nut the wrong way far enough to cam them over then you need to go back to school to learn which way to tighten a bolt. and would you like me to give you a class on how to adjust brakes. o and btw if you look in the fed motor carrier safty reg book you know the lil green book that tells you all the federal laws in section 393.46 section 2 e it says the pushrod travel for clamp and rotochamber type actuators must have less than 80% of the rated stroke marked ON the brake chamber by the chamber manufacturer or the readjustment limit. so say your bf was coming off jelico or black mountain he loses his gear and get his brakes hot and out of adjustment. now hes left with 3 options option one piss and mone to his company and wait a day to get a service truck to do it for him. option two man up and be a driver adjust the brakes and get back home to his family with a good check or option 3 just keep driving and possbly kill people or get on hell of a fine because he isnt smart enough to relize that they are out of adjustment. so honey with all do respect someone that dont adjust brakes and doesnt maintain there truck aka there home is more dangerous than one that does!! and believe me i may be young but i can take that truck apart and put it back together again.
p.s i dont think i know it all i learn something every day unlike some people

 

"Righty tighty, lefty loosey, (and then back off half a turn..) Heck I'm union and I can still adjust my own brakes at a scale. For me I'd rather get out of there and go home..But that's JMHO..

 

How do you adjust self adjusting brakes that are out of adjustment?

 

i was gonna ask the same thing, self adjusting brakes aren't the same are they? i know the old style but not the self adjusting.
