Transam trucking-no good

All drivers pay for there truck. Driver or lease owner.I usually found if a company lays a driver around they have a problem with that driver and want him to quite. That way they don't have to pay unemployment.
I'm not saying that's you but it happens friend.
I know Johnny and he's always been a straight shooter. Did you ever go in and set down and talk with him? I go way back with him to National Carriers.

also hear that the "money guy" there would like to run the company without truckers!!! Now how could that be possible. He apparently doesn't like truckers

I can see you have never talked to the man or you wouldn't say that about him.I can see why you no longer work there.

 

Zedanny,
My mate and I teamed and we never met Johnny once.
We drove all over and even got the top gun award. Then when I got sick, and had to be hospitalized, I was let go, and so was my insurance,while I was in the hospital. So you tell me, What kind of company is Transam? Turns out I have Cancer, and they could care less. Johnny only comes to the office in the mornings and then only stays about 45 minutes. We saw this when we were there. And that was when he wasn't on one of his vacations, or cruises. When I asked him why they had done this to me over the phone, he said "Tax Reasons".... So tell me is he such a good guy??? Maybe in the past, but not now. When a company will do this to someone, they are sorry in the worst way.... I have since had to go on Cobra insurance which costs 3 times as what I was paying as an employee, or as Redwings says just a driver in the seat. Now with me not working, it is hard to come up with that kind of money. And battling cancer is not easy either. The Chemo makes you feel like you want to die. It would have been nice to still have a job and insurance that I didn't have to pay so much for, but they were ruthless!!!!!! That is a FACT. Oh yeah, they offered my job back as a trainee when I get well. Just the fact that they did what they did to me, I would never go back to work for them. My opinion is just this, Transam has people that do not care about their truckers. Otherwise, they would not have did what they did to me!!! Does this open your eyes just a bit. If not, then I could tell you more. However, I prefer not to. You figure it out.

 

Hey it sounds like you can sue them . Take them to court . Sorry about the Cancer.
You may be right when a company get so be the owner looses control .
If you have all your medical records and check stubs and you were off on medical leave. Sue them. I have a Grand daughter that's on cimo 5 times a week.23 year's old.

 

My view on Trans Am is this, they did not hire me. Therefore, they are one of the most mismanaged companies in America and you would be stupid to work for them. However, because they did not hire me I now make $18,000 per year more then I would have working with them. So, I am thankful. The recuiter I worked with there was hot. Too bad I am short fat and ugly.

Any job that gets you started down the road to this Profession is going to be hard. No one owes you anything. Work hard and dont run over anything. Oh, and if you are hauling meat for Trans Am and lets say a case of Porterhouse steaks just happens to fall of your truck, I am will to pay cash. Note to Law enforcement.....this is not an offer to commit or induce any other one to commit a crime. This is simply a test.

ya know T/A used to be a #### good company,Looks like Johnny and Trudy have backed way out into semi retirement and let that No good Russell Ruin i mean Run the company to bad so sad.

 

RUN, RUN RUN, dont wate your time with Trans AM. When I was talking with my recruter I told her I want to be a company driver she said no problem. I arrived back here in Rockwall on 3/30/09 for my testing out Thats when they started pressuring me to go lease. After 2.5 days of telling them No they then told me I would have 30 day wait for a company truck. So here sit playing their game.
I have also heard that there goal is to have 80% lease drivers that they can have pay for there trucks.

 

They will fall by 2011.........

 

When did they start testing out in Rockwall? Did my orientation there but all testing out was done in Olathe, KS. Only time I was asked about leasing was a general question to the class. Chose not to go and still will not go since stupid is not written on my forehead and had to wait for 6 days to get my 1st truck. Getting the 2nd truck, 2 months later, was worse. Had to wait for 2 1/2 weeks that time.
