Blue Arrow transportation Flex Transportation Eric Epstein 847-530-9156 Everything the recruiter said was false - just to get me up there - then hope I would just forget the lies and go to work for them Elk Grove Village Illinois
I did not deal with the company much since I never started – but the equipment I was issued would not pass inspection – the people in the company I met were nice but they are a Eastern European owned company and do things here pretty much I would imagine the way they did back home.
ERIC EPSTIEN…
Eric Epstein is their recruiter; over several weeks he lied about wages, equipment, commodities hauled and the truck I was supposed to operate for them. He told me they had all new equipment – 2019 equipment. The truck I was issued was a 2011 Cascadia with 737000 miles on it that would not pass a DOT inspection, the passenger seat was missing, there was not mattress in the bunk, the front end shook and the tires were out of balance – severely and I never went over 40mph. I told them I would not drive it and they tried putting me in an International in about the same condition.
The forward mirrors were missing but the mounts were still there. Nice way to cross over the scales – it’s like “we don’t care and we don’t take care of our equipment.
Drivers, if you are driving a truck with defects you are the one that is fined and it will be listed on your PSP. (formerly known as CSA) You inspected the truck and signed off on the log – it’s all on you.
Once I refused the International they said they could put me in a 2013 but the pay would drop 10 cents a mile. At that point I told them I would not be starting with their company.
Eric Epstein flew me up there and I had to fly myself back and pay hotel for 3 days – that’s $500 plus out of my pocket. I contacted Eric Epstein about the money I had spend to get back home but the best I got of him was “little b*tch, you stole from us – you owe us for the plan ticket up and the hotel.” I told him if he had been honest with me I never would have come up to work for them in the first place.
They are posting adds all over Florida - daily.
Bottom line is: do not believe a thing their recruiter says and expect well worn trucks.
