In Reply to: OTR drivers: Are there good or great companies to work for? posted by Cetane on October 08, 2009 at 10:51:44:

My brother has been driving close to thirty years now. He started on dump trucks and then went to a flatbed hauling Aluminum rolls from northern NY to Ga. and then granite curbing back.He then went to work for a "farmer"(read commodities trader)hauling beans or fertilizer all over the Northeast and Eastern Canada,now he pulls a tanker with soybean oil for the same guy.
The only problem is the same anyone has working for an indivual, no scheduled raises, personality conflicts and so on. However as senior driver he gets the new equipment and the pick of the runs.
I ran the scales at an Army base and would hear horror stories about some companies that would keep drivers on the road by making them chase their paychecks. They would say the check is at such and such a truckstop and when the guy gets there he would be handed a note telling him he needed to grab a load and the check would be at destination b and then at c and so on.
Dispathcers are notorious liars, I can"t tell you how many drivers would show up at the base claiming to have an unload time. We did"nt make appointments, it was first come first serves or load priority that we worked on. Many times they would show up with the wrong equipment for the load we had and the company would make them cool their heels till we had one that was a fit, sometimes a couple of days.

Today's Featured Article - Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the ... [Read Article]
