No break down pay
No cash advances for OTR drivers
Out of route fueling at AAA terminals without pay for the extra mileage
No advance vacation time
Fuel islands designed for LTL trucks without 53 footers
Most terminals have no access, or on duty mechanics at night
Terrible road service (answering machine at Dothan shop)
No respect for drivers off time
Drivers I have met who have left there say they never realized how bad it was there(no driver respect), until they left and went to work for another company.  |
That is exactly the way it was when I exited the place. Worked there 10 years never looked back. So they have not changed it seems. The worst was sitting broke down somewhere all night because they were to cheap to get road service. A blowout ruined many a night for aaa cooper driver`s or asscorted other problem`s. Not to mention 16 or more hour layover`s.
Those who are still there need to get out before it is to late there is better co`s out there to work for alot better.
