Worst company you ever worked for?

Mine was more of a "this close!!!". Redgo/DoneRight, Hamilton, MT. Close call, but I saw the light just in time.

 

Don’t forget the metal detectors you had to pass through to speak to the recruiters & Human Resources!

 

TFS....worked there for a week. Small company don't even think they're in business anymore. Said it was a home daily position out of Binghamton NY.......i was home 1x throughout the week.

 

I think there are probably a lot of places worse than Swift. I would quickly nominate SRT, and I was only there a week.

 

I don't miss Josh

I don't miss dispatch losing their temper for any reason or no reason and yelling a bunch of profanities.

I don't miss being told I can't run on recap hours

I don't miss not being allowed to split my sleeper break.

I don't miss all the other heavy-handed micro managing. (Were you there when the big "No Chrome Shop Radios" sign was up?)

I'm sure I've forgotten a bunch of stuff, Lord knows I've tried to forget I ever heard of the place.

 

I wasn’t there for the chrome radio sign. But honestly I liked josh. He never did me wrong. He had me running spi loads one week all in Cali, and added a few hundred to my check because he knew it didn’t pay much but he needed it ran.
As for logs, I reset every weekend anyways. Split sleeper wasn’t a thing for me then anyways, for the fact that I never ran a true 10 hour break. It was always a 3-6 hour nap, then grab a fresh loose leaf page and let’s go. I didn’t talk to them much, or be in the yard longer than to grab fuel and get a new load. I will say that I saw their new craigslist ad in the Redding craigslist yesterday, and the pay looks to be the same as when I was there in 2014-15. So that is disappointing.

Be very grateful for what you have.

 

What they do to you?

 

I saw a first today. A lowrie curtain being pulled by the old style lowrie colors truck, but it was a stand up sleeper
