    I wholeheartedly agree that SRT is a bad company to work for. They charge drivers for everything imagineable. any trl tire below 80 psi and you wiil pay $100. also, drivers are required to pulp every pallet(free labor) Just b4 i quit, SRT did away with the HM pay. also, they have a policy when you go home for HT and your DH is over 200 miles, they can charge you. so if your home is over 200 miles from your last delivery b4 you go home, you cud be charged. also, 401k srt does not match anymore. also, if you go to the terminal for any reason during normal office hours, you must get clearance thru each deptartment b4 you are allowed to drive.(i always made a point to get logs i needed after hours or basic neccessities after hours to avoid being delayed) no matter how hard you try, you will always have missing logs and safety will always have you make new log sheets. when i quit i faxed them 18 b4 i cud get my last check. SRT also will not allow drivers to take their truck home if you live within 80 miles of the terminal. I had to commute and move in and out of truck and a tiresome burden i just got tired of. They gripe about idle time on a daily basis and will call you in for a office briefing if they see a pattern of high idle for any reason. They never understood that each person has a different tolerance level for hot/cold and nobodys the exact same. they will only reimburse for idle air if the driver meets a certain idle % that they deem appropriate.

    Gainey transportation Grand Rapids MI get a A + for being the worst carrier in the USA,
    cheat their drivers on pay miles no layover money the worst of equipment I have never seen in 20 years of driving. The claim to hire the best of the best but after your assigned a
    truck that when the cheating starts. They refuse to fix the equipment on the road even major DOT Safety items. Harvey will cheat the living crap out of your earning, when you complain they will fire you and trash your employment history DO NOT WORK FOR THIS MICKEY MOUSE OUTFIX IF YOU DO YOU WILL BE SORRY

    RoadMaster put me and my husband on a 90 day medical hold. In other words they kicked us out of school. I reminded them that I had quit my job to go to their school. They didn't care. My husband was unemployed with no money coming in. Since I quit my job, I couldn't get unemployment. With no money coming in, and the money that we had paid to stay in the area non-refundable, We were out of luck. Then RoadMasters wants to charge me and my husband $150.00 each for the three days we did go to their school. I told their collection company that I had no money and no job. They will continue to try and collect..

    OMG I think this has to be the worst trucking company yet! They do not fix their trucks, they keep employees paychecks, when whatever it is on the truck finally goes the employee pays for it. Fire people after getting hurt on the job!! I can't believe they are getting away with all of this!?!?!Unbelievable!
    Where is the JUSTICE???

    First Express Nashville, Tn.
    These people will take every dime they can, if you can get any dispatched miles. I was there for 1 year and was never happier to leave a company. Poor benefits, charge backs that will make you cry, and no miles...If you can live on 1000 to 1500 miles a week at .36 cpm. this is the job for you. After having been an employee for 6 months I was told that I had to sign a contract to get a TWIC card. They fronted the money and if you left before the year on your contact was up, they took that money from your last check. I've seen the load planners doing more work on fantasy football teams than finding loads.

    If you want to know true evil their names are Ron, Mary and Bran Brown. If there a spot for the worst of the worst trucking co. it would have to be R&M Transport in Tulsa, OK

    If you are thining of working for Miller Trucking in Tulsa, OK, please, please get it out of your mind and do not do it. You will be dispatched by Lance Cole no matter what driver manager you get, and 75% of his loads are cheap and unlawful. They will run you into the ground and then try and ruin your career with a bad dac report just because they can and they know there is nothing you can do about it. All drivers beware of Lance Cole and Miller Truck Lines.

    I was hired by LJ and laid off approx six weeks later. They were hiring all sorts of people not suited for the job such as drivers with no flatbed exp, drivers with felonies, and even drivers that had been fired from other flatbed carriers for accidents and tickets. I seriously believe that they hired the last batch of drivers just to lay them off to take the attention off of the union drivers that they got rid of in Aliquippa. L. J Kennedy would have never lowered their standards like that in the past. This was a planned move and really was an insult to the many new hirees that all had less than six months.,Frank Kennedy would turn over in his grave. L. J. Kennedy used to be a name of integerty,
    Now it is nothing more than a joke like Schieder Trucking who incidently fired the newest idiot in Kennedy higherarchy. Kennedy used to be the one trucking company that cared about its drivers. Now that they have gotten rid of some of the best drivers on the road they will surely fail.

    Yep union drivers at Aliquippa,PA Terminal were laid off and replaced with non-union drivers. They closed the Carrollton,KY Terminal and laid off all drivers living in KY,IN,KY,MI,and most of OH. The company is in bad shape and may not make it. I would stay clear of them for the near future.

    ARROW DRIVER ARROW DRIVER Sep 12, 2009 @ 6:41 am
    Beware of Arrow trucking. You will wait hours to get a repair paid for on the road and weeks to get your truck serviced at their shop. Non- preventable accidents will show up on your report when you were told that it would not. They will transmit messages on qualcom that never come true and fail to respond when a problem comes up. Mechanical problems are not fixed at branch terminals even with a D.O.T. report. Trucks are issued not completely clean and some in poor condition and broke before you even turn a tire.
    This company is in trouble when it allocates only somuch money for repairs and if your not within the budget for the day your truck will sit.
