    freightmax will rob you.you may get .19cpm all trucks are autoshift and raggedy.with no preventive maintenance.all he cares about is making that money.he doesnt care about your hos or if your left steer tire is bald.trust and believe its not about you.but i can understand that.it's his business not yours.when you drive for freightmax your putting your cdl on the line also your mvr.you will constantly get dot'd because they were audited a few months ago and got a conditional rating.unsatisfactory rating and they would have been closed down.so when you cross that scale you better have your ducks in a row,cause chances are you will get pulled around back.he doesnt have any particular place to park his trucks,he tries to use walmart parking lots to park his trucks but walmart complained,so he's constantly looking for a plce to park them.(to cheap to rent a lot) drivers quit all the time so he always has loaded trucks with c.h.robinsons freight on them sitting somewhere.no radio.a/c,heat or in some cases interior lights in the truck almost all the electrical socket have been removed to prevent you from draining his batteries.and the a/c compressor belt has been removed so a/c is out of the question. Some fridays he may call you and tell you he cant pay you this week,but he'll pay you next week.this is because there is a truck somewhere broke down and he needs your check to pay for the repairs. This is a *warning* to all cdl class a drivers,do not work for freightmax.

    This is the same guy who posted before and got it removed because he is spamming and saying the same old lies in different ways in different posts. I have been working for Freightmax since they started....and am getting paid $700-$1100 a week consistently....and get my time off too....Yes if you are just a steering wheel holder and not proactive over the road and not let the company know about problems...like for example...like steer tires...and etc...how will the company know to fix it.....but yet in this guys case how does the company find out.....he gets shut down by the DOT for a bad tire...and the DOT has to point it out to the driver....rather than the driver who is suppose to be doing pre-trip and post-trip for these things....and yes about conditional ratings....a few of the drivers didn't fill their pre-trips on the logs and the inspection...so hence the conditional rating....For drivers negligence company suffers....By the way....this guy was targeted at every scale....because he had 2 log book violations in a row....so if you are going to post something...post the whole fact....not just hide your negligence. As I simply posted before this guy worked for 6 months consistently making good miles...but as soon as he got fired...lol all these accusations....obviously no one would work or stay with a company if it had that many issues....then why did he? lol Enough said...please check my other post...i believe its a complete waste of time reading this guys posts and for all the real truck drivers out there not "steering wheel" holders we know how this business is run....and drivers like these are just simply insulting our reputation & knowledge.

    Thanks,
    TOM

    Thanks,
    Tom

    if any one doesnt believe me then go ahead work for freightmax you will get robbed.all the trucks are raggedy and in constant need of repair. I have a dedicated run from Richmond va to Landover md and last night ha ha i saw one of his trucks brokedown 3 miles north of the woodbridge scales on the nb side yea there was a driver who ran 2 log books i know him. Thats cause that was the only way he could make a living.you have to run two log books at freightmax any driver working for that clown is getting robbed.i know 2 dudes who quit and never got their final pay check then hitchhiked home.this guy tom?naw thats a bogus name,dude is tryin to stop the bleeding.so many drivers are quitting and theres a grass roots effort to shut this idiot down once and for all . Me and four other drivers from Md and Tx place ads on craigslist warning drivers of freightmax hazardous equipment. Trust and believe me when i tell you this company is gonna be placed out of service.they dont give a flyin fart about saftey,just check out there rating.shoestring operation haulin ch robinson freight real cheap crap that only some idiot from bangladesh would haul. WARNING YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

    hello again fellow truckers, time to do a little more exposure. Tom is full of it yes we did deliver loads late and as i pointed out before Tom or is it Jamil the owners son? when you pay us on time we'll deliver your freight on time. Thats just the way it is,who does that? call a driver on pay day and tell him he's not getting paid today.then when you try to call back they dont answer the phone.so yea i was late.and proud of it i got tired of freightmax being late with my pay. And as far as eating free at quiznos pfft please you deducted any sandwitch we ate from our pay. we just didnt know it then,also there used to be settelment sheets but they did away with those awhile back,not that it would've mattered, they skimmed off our pay and would make it look legal.plain and simple,freightmax is a poor company owned by people who think Americans live in wasted opulance . they believe that certain things we as Americans enjoy and take for granted are just a waste ie. going to the bp gas station in clinton md owned by a guy from India,i bought gas and wanted a cold soda but the cooler where they keep the sodas cold was'nt working.so i went across the street to the exxon also owned by a pakistani or indian or whatever.same thing he told me his cooler wasnt working.needless to say i was miffed. even though it was winter time i wanted a cold drink.as i walk outside some guy said to me "hey man there aint nothin wrong with them coolers,they just cut em off to save money on the electric bill,they think since its winter time the sodas are cold enough back there in the stock room" woooooooww. it made me think about Moe and freightmax the same ideals apply to this company.stingy beyond belief.you will stick a stick in the fuel tank to measure hoe many inches is left in the tank then he'll give you about 250.00 worth of fuel till you get to the next fuel stop.you willbe stopping and getting fuel like that till you get to your destination good luck working for freightmax.

    this is not a driver. he is the son of the guy who owns the company.trying to convince anyone who'll listen that his raggedy company is worthy of good drivers. dont be fooled.this is the son of Moe.i wonder if thats his real name.

    this guy completely losing his credibility now... truckers are already treated lowly in this industry and for guys like you....we lose our credibility and dignity even more....I'm just trying to support my company and trying to shed the both sides of the story.. Its not even worth replying to these childish rants anymore... Anyone has any questions about freigthmax and want an honest opinion about this company contact me... They are honest and hard working and I am telling you as I have been driving for them over a year and I will give you contacts for some of the current driver and you can ask yourself. Thanks.

    4 duplicate complaint posts from you at this point ...

    You would have had more credibility if you stuck to one and just the facts.

    Please don't start multiple threads about the same subject.

    Also, lets not turn this into a pissing match either.

    Thank You!!
