Buske Lines, Inc. Put false information on my Dac Report, and will not try to rectify. I have gotten in touch with usis. They will send me a Dac copy, through the snail mail. Then I have to request a Dispute Form, through the mail. This could take months. Why can't Dac make them prove thier alligations? Why can't Dac E-Mail attached Forms? What is wrong with Dac? This is very frustrating.

I didn't get that many miles and sometimes getting home was a b***h after a year.    Some weeks having only gotten 1600 miles and with my road expenses, it wasn't worth driving there.   I spent Memorial Day 2009 out with only 562 miles for 4 days from Friday at Midday thru Monday morning.     I spent the 4th of July wknd sitting all day Friday the 3rd after delivering Thursday night the 2nd.   I asked to get home over the 4th but I sat on the 4th and on the 5th for a 330 mile load that picked up on Monday.     I got home every weekend when I started and later I didn't get home at all; once was out 3 weeks and ultimately it was a fight to get home.   

If you don't like driving I-70 then don't drive there.    Mostly I drove I-70 between St. Louis and Philadelphia and back to Michigan.   You literally live on the Pennsylvania/Ohio/Indiana Turnpikes.  In the end it was difficult to get home to the St. Louis area.   Their drivers are bad but if you are good you get lumped in with the bad.    I never once in a year got pulled into a scale but I scaled every load over 35k.    The trucks are tiny and unlivable to be in but that is what they expect you to do and the automatic transmissions suck.

I started to work for Buske Lines in 1999 and continued working for Buske Lines on and off through 2007. I went through several hard times in my life during my employment with Buske Lines. The company was Great to me, always understanding to my needs when times were hard.

I had to leave Buske lines numerous times for various reasons during the 8 years, from Grandparents being sick and caring for them till they passed away, to simple burn out driving over the road and wanting a local job for a while. I always gave notice, turned in my truck at the terminal and shook everyones hand wqhen I left. Buske Lines continues to touch base with me a couple of times a year so far and has made it clear to me how important quality drivers are, they have made it clear to me the door is open if I ever decide to Drive Over the road again I have a Job with them.

While employed with Buske Lines I never had problems getting home, usually ran OTR 7-14 days. I always tried to get home every other weekend, but to my surprise I would often find myself on loads through the house with out asking, putting me home several times a month at times. My Pay was always rewarding. I averaged 2200 miles on a slow week to 3400 and 3500 miles on good weeks.

I also drove for Buske during the SC Johnson Days, I personally dont buy into it. I figure Tom Buske is a victim in this and getting a bad rap. The man has passed me in the parking lot of his Company several times and always stopped to shake my hand and acknowledge me as a Driver. He was always honest on my pay. I never had any problems getting my full pay check. But at the same times, I always did my best on my loads and taking care of the Equipment. I highly reccomend Bill Signaigo as a Dispatcher, He was one of the most upfront, Honest and Hard working people I have ever known.

I currently work as a Police Officer in my Home town. Being home with my Family every night. But if finances ever put me in a position to go back on the road, and I needed to make Big Money again.......I would go back to work for Buske Lines in a Heart Beat. If you are lazy, undependable, or just one of those people who always have an excuse, I would not reccomend Buske Lines to you, They will show you the door. But if you are a honest, hard working, dependable Driver... They will keep you busy and you will make great Money..... After all my expenses and deductions i brought home anywhere from $700 to $1200 a week Net Pay. And that is why Im able to have a local job today and be home with my Family every night......Thanks Buske Lines... Brandon ruley Harrison, Arkansas
