personnel records for their own personal gains, on a power trip " I'm the boss and you're nothing attitude.
Do not work for this company

I worked for a Nevada company, Paragon Assoc. they forced us to drive trucks with defective brakes,no permits, no insurance(I found this out after they folded up). They hired new people even when they were going under. Promised benefits but added so many conditions that noone qualified. Owned by little rich kid with daddy's money. Daddy pulled the plug. Everyone got screwed.

Worked for JB Hunt for 6 months and they are supposed to be king of safety well one day i had a safety issue with my trailer in the yard so i called dispatch they said it will be ok just pull the load well i refused to and they fired me.

JB HUNT IS A BAD COMPANY PERIOD

CRST has got to be the worst company ever!!!! My friend and I decided to go with crst because they had a program that would allow her to train me. She has two years exp. and I have none. they did hire us. as time went on, they paid me a flat $400.00 a week. As for my friend? they paid her half the miles...they split her miles with themselves!!!!!!!!!!! Again, as time went on they lowered her cents per miles earned. I really don't know how they get away with this!!! They are flat out stealing from her. They do not maintain their equipment, they do not reimburse. They owe me over 600.00 in reimb. I really don't think I'm ever going to see this. I also understand that if you go to school through them, they will nickel and dime you to death. If you had a car, apt. and cell phone, kiss them good-bye. You are contracted to them for eight months and you are broke all the time.

Thanks Robert...

I once work for a small outfit D&M transportation Hauling old muscle cars all over the country... I loved the job but I would be on the road for weeks at a time and not get paid because the owner wasnt making enough money to pay for expences on the trucks like fuel tolls and payments to pay his drivers after.... I for some reason put up with it for a little while.. collecting what I could when the boss had it.. then when my son was born and i was at the hospital my son in ICU I was told that I had to go to CT to deliver a car asap! Told the boss that I wasnt leaving my son who wasnt more than a few hours old to go on the road.. but i did offer to contact someone else to drive for me that already drove on an as needed basis.. he told me i was selfish and needed to put my job before my family... well needles to say I told Him to get his truck off my property in the next few hours or it would be towed as an abboned vehicle trailer and all as well as the $50,000 car that was loaded and I never went back and never will

I worked for CFI and ran out of hours to drive and they pushed me for a 15 mile load and when I refused to take the load the fired me. Now I am having a hard time finding a job because they put a bunch of crap on my DEC report thx CFI They are the worst comany to drive for unless you want to get screwed over.

You can sue them for that. I sued a company that i worked for because they fired me for a safety violation and they pretty much violated there own handbook. I refused a load due to a safety problem and they said take the load or you are fired so i refused it due to the nature of the problem and yes they fired me. If you were in the right find a lawyer that only gets paid if you win.
I did and i got like hundred thousand dollors out of it.
Dont let them screw you fellow driver reverse it and screw them.
Email me if u wish. Jbess63091@yahoo.com

I just want a job. I have a CDL But no Experiance. and of course 6 felony's but all of them years ago. Arrow almost gave me a job. but there recruiter messed up and I heard they are not that good and I was willing to work for them any way. I have told people I will work for half the price and still no one will give me a chance. what a waist of money I put into truck driving school. any one have a suggestion email me at rickbozora@yahoo.com

If your willing to go over the road then Swift or Jb hunt or schneider might hire you. Try for a small Ma and pap trucking company. Jb Junt scre... me and now i cant find a job because they are black balling me i cant even get a factory job.
I know how u feel dude i feel your pain!!

Later

Yea Thanks Man I have been rejected by all of them except JB Hunt said I need 6 weeks OTR. I will try a small fleet close to home. Maybe I will just buy my own truck and drive around town for 6 weeks. lol.

U need to get your time in with a company but just becareful working for jb hunt because they can make your life a living he.. so the best way to go is do loads that others wont do and make good with the boss. Sorry you are having problems but dont feel bad because i am to. NOOOO dont buy your own truck because fuel is to high for that you would suffer even more. Keep trying and dont lose hope and be honest up front.

Yea I don,t have the Money to buy my own truck. I cant even afford gas in my car. I put in a application at Mavrick but they don't hire out of California, maybe you could try there. I also put in one with big dawg if you have experiance he can help. next week I will be looking for a ma and Pa company. take it easy. Rick

Just dont give up dude you will find a job. If u have yahoo messenger my id is Bumblebee3709

Later dude

Thanks I don't have Yahoo messenger if I do I don't know how to use it. I think it su... to have to go through Recruiters for jobs. I need to find a company where I can just talk to the owner up front. the recruiters are just like Human resores's they weed out people who they think will mess up. its to bad that so many others have messed up making it hard for me. when a good driver wrecks its not heard of, but when a good driver with a felony wrecks the media is all over it. oh well I will keep looking. thanks and Good luck to you to. I just got a call from Interstate trucking my felony is not old enough/ rick

How recent is your felonys. You may have to apply for other work besides trucking like factory work some factory work jobs pay good. Its been 9 months Brother since i worked remember when i told u JB Hunt will scr.. u over well they are i cant even find any jobs now. You ever heard of the DAC REPORT.
If you are in the Dac then your pretty much screwed.

Later Bro
John

Yea I think I am going to have to sale hot dogs or pull weeds. because I did a USIS DAC report check on my self, and there are 6 felony's on there. last one was 6 years ago. before that was 9 years ago, and the rest 10 and older. either way I am sick of getting rejected by all these trucking company's I am going to try BIG DAWG, IF HE CANT GET ME A JOB THEN I will look for something else. maybe you should try BIG DAWG TO. well take care and Good luck. Rick

I am in California. I started working this week as a delivery driver, but not in a big truck. a van. Deric

rick you can go to the court and try and have your record expundged

Yea thanks man, but I have 6 felony's 5 in Washington and one in california, I spoke to a lawyer and its harder to expunge that many. plus it is expensive. I already gave up on truck drivng until I can afford to buy my own truck and haul dirt then I am not worreid any more.

rick, i know where you might be abel to get a job driving. it is in missouri hauling hardwood flooring to home depot warehouses. the owner has his own trucks and pays well, but he runs you pretty hard. if you would be interested let me know. if you would like to email me directly for the rest of the information on this my email address is bad_bear_61@hotmail.com, just put in the subject your name. if you are interested we might could run team cause i have been thinking of driving for him again but i need a co-driver so let me know ok.

STAY AWAY FROM SCHNEIDER. LIE LIE LIE IS ALL THESE PEOPLE DO

Yea all them truck company's have something wrong with them. I give up looking for a trucker job. it's to much bull and all of them Lie.

I have been a driver for 20+ yrs. I have a perfect safety record, no felonies or even misdemeanors and my MVR is is practically spotless. The prob. is I had open heart surgery 6 mos. ago and i haven't been in a T.T. for over 18 mos. and not OTR for 3 yrs. I have been local for 6-7 yrs. I take a blood thinner called coumadin for my heart and pain killers for my back. Now i seem to be medically disqualified to all employers it seems. I saw with my own eyes JB hire complete idiots that couldn't drive a truck if there very existence depended on it. I went to JB and they D.Q.ed me for medical reasons. These companies hire and fire for what they see on paper and not even see what they might have in a driver. Too Dang bad for them to lose the drivers that actually know what they are doing.I hear Pizza Hut is looking for a few good drivers

Hi sorry to hear about that and with the medical problems i know how ruff it can be not working because i was fired from Jb Hunt for something that was not even my fault heck the even violated there own handbook. I took jbhunt to court over this and im still waiting for the judges final decision.
I have not been able to find a job close to a year now because jb hunt is blackballing me. All i can say is stay away from JB HUNT they will mess your life up. I was dedicated with them going out 2 times a day and i would be home daily. Good luck Brother driver!!!

I am interested in Trucking what should I avoid in starting out?

JB HUNT AVOID AT ALL COSTS

(I hear Pizza Hut is looking for a few good drivers)

This is the field I come from stay away from franchise stores! Which is just about all of them. Unless it's a huge franchise then it might better than actually working for the direct.

IHAVE 3 CONTROLLED SUSBSTANCE VIOLATIONS ON MY RECORD FROM 7 YEARS AGO.I'AM 42 NO POINTS AGAINST MY LICENSE,NO WRECKS AND NO CARELESS OPRATIONS.THE VIOLATIONS ON MY RECORD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DRIVING.I WANT GO OTR BUT I HAVE NO EXP.I GRADUATED FROM A TECH SCHOOL WITH MY CLASS A CDL.ALL I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LAND IS DRIVING A TRIAXLE.ANY ADVISE

I got my CDL in California July 2007 that was the last time I drove was at the DMV taking the test, I have 6 felony convictions. the last one was 6 years ago. the rest of them are over 10 years old on heroin conviction in 1996. I applied for every bull spit truck company that was posted on line and all the dirt hauling company's in my town. and Big Dawg dont trust them they are full of it. then some guy said he could get me a job hauling wood floors in another state, he was full of it to.
well maybe some one will hire you if you get a hazmat, who knows. they look at whats on paper, they never take the time to know you. I am driving a bob tail, but most the time I am the passanger.

well im readin all this and now i dont feel as bad im a felon with a crime of vol when 17 old and boy do they make it hard i've been tryin to find a small ma and pop here in fla to drive for but all i get is tree company where there is drug on site and i can't do one more day in the system so if anyone know any company in fl hite back

I work around Drugs, and Drugs are every where It's almost imposable to avoid, but I also go to AA and keep a fit contact with God, SO if you are spiritual fit you can go any where and do anything. the Drugs and pot heads where I work don't bother me at all. I look at the guys and think there stupid kids.

it not about being able to work around drug its easy lay with dogs and you will get fleas i just want to drive truck when you been in trouble and get stop stupid kid putshis drug in the truck who 's is it i just like have as much control as the good Lord give me

MY SON GOT CAUGHT UP IN A PROSTITUTE STING OPERATION. NO MONEY EXCHANGED HANDS AND HE SIMPLY AGREED WITH WHAT SHE SAID TO GET HER OUT OF HIS FACE. WHEN HE LEFT HER HE WENT TO HIS COMPANY VAN THEN LEFT. THE POLICE ARRESTED HIM TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE MOTEL. HES BEEN CONVINCED TO ACCEPT ONE YEAR PROBATION. I SAY FIGHT OR DIE TRYING BUT DON'T ACCEPT ANYTHING. ONE CONCERN OF HIS IS GETTING A JOB DRIVING TRUCKS WITH A MISTIMEANER RECORD.PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEED BACK

If he has no Experiance and only a misdomeaner he will be fine.

Well if you think you have control and the lord to. you better decide on who has more control. I think it would be the good lord. And if he gives you any control then you can drive truck. All though if you are in to God, Ask God where he wants you to work. And go to it. Work for God, Because God has control over everything. And you will work where ever he wants you to work, and let me tell you you might not like the job he gives you. But you might want to be great full that he got you a job. I cant stand the job he gave me. 10.00 an hour working with a guy who stinks living in the most expensive place in California. But he said he would prosper me so maybe if I am patient he will open a better job. Good luck to you. Deric

are we we reading the same thing or not .the Lord help those who help themselves. and I'm here not to chat i'm looking for someone in the truckin business that can't point me in the rightway to drive trucks.

Have u tried a recruiter or go directly to a trucking company.
Stay away from jb hunt!!!

thank you bro bot yeah i'll need a small company or o/o

Yea I thought that to. I was looking for a job in trucking and people like to say all kinds of stuff. try JB Hunt or try this dont try that. so far all I have heard about every trucking company is bad news. but what you do instead of comming here is go look for a job. there are millions of trucking companys. you will find something. Good luck chuck.

Try Big Dawg, they are slow to respond but they seem to say they will help people with a checkered past. but they told me to wait 10 more years.

Pizza Hut is hiring. domino's is hireing you can deliver Pizza. try helping your self then and go out and find a job. then the good lord will bless you. @$%^&*(()

Every trucking company has there quirks and problems. Unless you go over the road with jb hunt then u wont make any money. I was a dedicated driver with jb hunt and my bring home pay was 400 if i was lucky. I dont want you to make the same mistake me and others did (working for jb hunt) Jb hunt cant keep drivers because they get tired of working there butts off for alittle bit of nothing.
You do what u need to do as far as finding a job. Listen to your heart and you will be fine. Bumblebee3709

Deric G in San Mateo, California said: Yea all them truck company's have something wrong with them. I give up looking for a trucker job. it's to much bull and all of them Lie.

DON'T GIVE UP. IF TRUCKING IS YOUR PASSION THEN KEEP ON TRUCKING. EVERY JOB HAS ITS BULL . I WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND THEY HAVE TRIED THEIR BEST TO MESS ME AROUND. BUT GUESS WHAT? I'M A FIGHTER I'M STILL WORKING AT THE SAME PLACE AND IN THE SAME FIELD THEY TRIED TO THROW ME OUT OF.
KEEP ON TRUCKING AND DON'T EVER GIVE UP OR GIVE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank all you who are on the plus and dude this is way as a group we are behind lets look at imagant they stick togather and as convict we do the same nah that to much like and i've been told no before but i keep coming lord will open a door he 'll come throw

Hey thanks man I also work in the medical field. Dialysis. easy job but lots of stress.I injured my self and went to school to be a trucker. cant find a trucking job so now I am trying to get back to my old job and Have to fight with them to get back in.

I never can tell what you are trying to say man. I think the lord will open a job for you if you believe in the Lord. But let me tell you. the Lord might want you someplace you dont want to be. But it will be ok because it can be a stepping stone to a better job. God opens his doors for a reason. the GOOD LORD HAS A PLAN.

AMEN!!!

I also go to AA and keep a fit contact with God

keep the faith brother!!!!!
20 years abstinent and i'm getting sick of this game of life. i'd love to kick back with a case and a bottle, maybe a big fatty. but you know that dang alergic reaction called jail doesn't cut it. seems i keep strugglin, everyday, for 20 years. wouldn't it be cool to go have a drink with the fellas and go home. yeah right.so i say keep the faith or the demon will bite ya.

I sure feel better reading over others experiences. For a second there I felt like the only one having trouble finding a job. Im a very hard worker, nice guy have had employers say things like "MarK if I had a hundred guys Like you thered be no stoping us" and had a $20.00+ p/h job. Then one day I got a raise and decided to go out to dinner with my wife and have a few drinks since ill id do was work all the time and hardly took her out, Thought it was well deserved. one block from my house i was pulled over and charged with dui because I refused to blow. Lost my job, license and had to deal with feeling like a total failure for losing everything i had worked so hard for. A year has passed and have since received my CDL but no one will hire me after running my MVR (DUI was dropped and I was charged with reckless driving instead). I sincerally wish and pray for each one of you because I know first hand what being a good person but having bad paper feels like when you are refused/turned down. I think the best things are forums like these where we can help each other out. I live in illinois near chicago, if anyone knows where I might be able just to get my foot in the door please let me know. If i get hired Ill make sure to let you all know thanks guys for taking time to read my 2cents.

Try Arrow, they almost hired me but like every one said they did not want to meet me they looked at my past and through there stones. 6 felony's, the recruter told me hey get some experiance and try us again. Also Big Dawg is supposed to help people. Royal Express in California works with people, if you have experiance driving you should have no problem
