Bush Motor Express seemed to be at first the light at the end of a very dark and dingy tunnel. It turned out to be more like the light from an oncoming freight train.
I was told upon being hired by Bush that I would bring home at least $1000.00/week. Like most places that lasted for the first two weeks I drove for them. I am lucky now if I make half of that.
Throughout the last 10 months, I have also been asked multiple times to make runs without logging them in order to facilitate other runs that were over booked. I have also been asked to put a KW T600 with a sleeper and 53 foot trailer in places throughout downtown Chicago, IL. Places this truck has no business being. One place I was dispatched to refused the load due to the size of my truck/trailer and as a bonus I got stuck upon leaving. For some reason my dispatcher decided this was my fault.
Bush also likes to put band-aids on maintenance issues and then scold the driver when it causes a break down. They also deduct tolls incurred after 50.00 has been used on the I-Pass for IL Tollways. They want their freight picked up and delivered as quick as possible, but won't pay tolls for hauling their own frieght.
