Hiner Transport
Orientation rip off -defective truck and van

I attended Hiner Transport orientation a few weeks ago. Here is some information I think will help you if you decide to attend their orientation also.
First of all there is no way in or out of Huntington Indiana either by bus or taxi. I used my own vehicle to get there but *I was never reimbursed for gas expenses.
After completing the orientation I was issued one of the worst trucks I have ever seen. They did not have qual-com but a system called *'people net' which was inoperable in the truck I was issued. The glass on the front was broken and it had internal non-working parts.
The truck had an *automatic transmission which are in all of their trucks. The truck would not move more than a few feet before stalling out.
I was told to pick up a specific trailer in their yard. When I finally found it, it had a huge hole in it. I went into the office to tell my dispatcher Shawn Greene about the trailer (I had to walk in because 'people net' was not working) he just shrugged his shoulders. I also mentioned the fact that the truck and 'people net' were not up to DOT standards and were inoperable.
I got the brush of from both Shane Sanderson (safety trainer) and my dispatcher Shawn Matson.
Because I refused to operate a truck that was obviously a safety hazard, I just walked away after returning company property.
During the orientation class Shane Sanderson announced to the whole class that one of the driver's had failed the drug test. I was surprised to hear that this guy had failed the drug test. He was a nice young African American who did not even smoke. He seemed very well spoken and well groomed. I don't think that they had the right to tell the whole class something so personal, if it was even true!
If you are considering employment with this company, I would suggest that you try somewhere else.
