I applied for a job with Hogan transportation and while applying I was talking to the secretary about my concerns because I never operated a refeer unit and the secretary assured me they would train me and when they called me I spoke to Tabitha in safety and told her my concerns as well and I was reinsured that I would recieve the proper training. On my first day of training with a young lady name Kim she explained that I should watch the temperature and after getting unloaded I should turn the unit off because that's what they wanted us to do, so as we picked up the second load the truck broke down and that was the end of the training several hours on the side waiting for a tow truck. The next day they sent me out on my own and so I did everything I was told in that short time and way the second week on the job the send me to drop a load and pick a backhaul at Signature food when I arrive there my unit is off they take the paper work tells me to go outside and they will bring the paper so I did that, finally the shipper comes outside shows me the weight that's all and I adjust the tandems now I get to the reciever and they take the paper work and they don't ask anything so I leave 2 days later I get a call about the trailer and they asked did you know that you was hauling frozing goods I replied no because your never told me, then I learned the unit should of been set at -10 temp. But once again I didn't know cause they loaded a off trailer and never said a word. Now I'm saying wow they told me that they deliver frozing but come back dry so shut the unit off, now I got fired because Charles says you signed the bill and couldn't understand that hauling dry products the only thing we do is look at the weight and slide the tandems and keep trucking everything is FAK. Charles said did you not know about the company and I told him no I was never giving orientation or proper training just doing what I was told to do and he really didn't care about none of that. Anyway I started seeking employment else where and no they are slandering my name saying I misuse the equipment and didn't comply with policy rules, not recommended for rehire so I ask if I wasn't giving orientation about the company what policy rules did I break and if I did what I was told shut down the unit, How did I misuse epuipment? These statements are false and all I've been asking for is papers showing training, orientation and a exiting letter.
