Oh boy and the beat go on. It was okay at first, even though I started out with a truck that had a computor glitch fromk the gate and a payment due the following week. Well, I managed to get through that first two weeks. It was business and at one time I had problems with my dispatcher not giving me miles when I had available hours. Or how about loads weighing in excess of 43k and knowing the type of cmv I leased wasn't up to that kind of payload. I had a toy truck, you know, girly truck. I got a truck that was previously owned, I worked for Dart for close to 2yrs. And that left me with 1.5yrs left on the lease. Well, that's when the real crap started.
All of a sudden I'd get qual calls asking me to stop and call in to safety. Most times, I'd be sleep when I'd be told they got a call from a motorist I was doing someting wrong. And one time I was stuck in a parking lot of traffic, when qual said to call in; so I pulled off and called in. Only to be accused again of safety violations, like reading a map while driving.
When they saw that wasn't working, they switched to trying to find errors on my logs; in almost 2yrs., 1 violation and that was because the time didn't change with the D.S. T, so it was off by a hour. When that did'nt work, they started not having any loads for my bottom line. I'd enough and told them the load I was stuck on for the weekend would be my last and bring their truck back. I quit. I delivered the load on time (100%) and bought truck back to terminal and went home to recuperate.
Later, I find out I was discharged for safety reasons. Bull. HAD 1 SPEEDING TICKET, never a safety violation given to me from them or any officer for anything, yet on my DAC there it is, and other employers look over me for employment from those bald faced lies on me. Couldn't provide sign affadavits from those callin motorist. I know if I'm going to ruin some ones career, I'd want to be able to back it up with proof. I got logs that show how many days I'd sit without a load and settlementsto show how they yanked my pay. DAC SUCKS! YOUR REBUTTAL MEANS NOTHING, potential employer assume the company (ies) are truthful and you're the liar.
