Complaint Review: Celadon Trucking Inc.

I PREFACE MY COMMENTARY BY MAKING THIS DECLARATIVE ABOUT THE COMPANY . . . . "ANY INDIVIDUAL , EITHER HE OR SHE WOULD BE WISE TO SCRUTNIZE THIS COMPANY'S BACKGROUND AND HISTORY AS TO HOW THEY HANDLE THEIR AFFAIRS OVERALL".

THIS DRIVER HAD MANY GAINFULLY EMPLOYED YEARS WITH THE COMPANY. WITH THAT BEING SAID ,

OVERALL THE COMPANY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A STEREOTYPICAL TRUCKING OUTFIT THAT HAS THE BOTTOM LINE SET AS THEIR MANDATE.  OTHERWISE , THEY WOULD FOLD UP LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPANIES HAVE IN THE PAST.  WORKING THERE COULD BE BEST DESCRIBED AS AN ADVENTURE , SOME DAYS A CAKE WALK.  OTHER DAYS , AN ABSOLUTE DYSFUNCTIONAL CIRCUS !

ONE COULD SAY IN TOTAL HONESTY THAT IT DID TRY YOUR PATIENCE TO IT'S FULLEST TO FATHOM WHAT MADE A GREAT MANY IN MANAGEMENT "TICK" !  I DO HAVE VIVID RECALL OF MANY HEATED CONFRONTATIONS WITH THE PLANNER AND FLEET MANAGER.  OVER BEING ASSIGNED LOADS LATE , THEN RUN LIKE A IDIOT TO TRY TO MAKE UP TIME , ONLY TO FIND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS WASN'T NECESSARY IN THE FIRST PLACE TO DO SO.  IN THE INDUSTRY WE CALL THAT COVERING SOMEONE ELSE'S INCOMPETANCE TO MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THEY ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING !

BOTTOM LINE , WHEN THEY PULL THAT ROUTINE FAR TOO MANY TIMES. IT BECOMES OLD AND VERY APPARENT THAT ONE MUST HAVE A GUT CHECK AS TO HOW LONG YOU'LL PUT UP WITH IT.  IN CLOSING A WORD TO THE WISE . . . .  AS I STATED PREVIOUS , MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A TREMENDOUS PATIENCE LEVEL , OTHERWISE DON'T BOTHER WITH APPLYING WITH CELADON !!
