Complaint Review: BEECH FREIGHT SYSTEMS - FREIGHT SYSTEMS - USXPRESS - NORTH LITTLE ROCK Arkansas

Well, I say there is good and bad with all companies out there.If all were happy with everything, lawyers would be out of work.

I am hoping this company ends up being one of the better choices we make.With the way freight is  we all need to just realize that this is not the 80's and there are 7.5 MILLION truckers out there right now and we all need to get along and do our job.I for one would be REAL mad if someone just left my truck or load sitting without telling nobody otherwise.If u got mad at your husband you wouldnt leave your infant at home alone and just take off would you?Well look at it like this...that freight was someones"baby" maybe their whole company depended on your load being there and when you ABANDONED it( which you CLEARLY ADMITTED TO DOING)that made them look as a company who isn't reliable.So yeah, I'm thinking they had every right to put that on your DAC report,I know I wouldn't want a person who can't accept the responsibility to finish something they began.That was unprofessional on your partAnd I am sure there are several options for a Dr. appointment unless it was a cardiologist, then maybe U shouldn't be behind the wheel of a 80,000 lb vehicle anyway!

I wonder what the other side of this story is, because my experience with Freight Systems Inc. is only positive. I have been here for 7 months and I find it hard to believe that this company has ruined this lady's career. We are in the trucking business; there will always be disagreements between drivers, office, and shop. But this company is concerned about their drivers' safety and they have a thing where they know the drivers name and not just their number. Andevery Wednesdaythey buy lunch for everyone and talk about ways to improve. I hope that lady'sreport doesn't deter drivers/shop/office from applying. It certainly isn't a "Ripoff".

I drove for Freight Systems Inc in 2006 and had a great experience there. I reluctantly left there to drive local in the barnett shale and did very well there also until the October Surprise hit us and, well you all know how it has been since then. I agree with Owner Operators response. You should not have a Me VS Them mentality when it comes to your company. We all are responsible for getting the job done and to have unrealistic expectations as a driver will only generate friction and perpetuate negative bickering. One missed doctors appointment does not mean it is proof that the whole company is BAD! The fact that it was an appointment means that it was not an emergency, so for this to have ultimately resulted in your leaving the company shows your lack of ability to be a true professional that can work with others to find solutions to simple problems.There are bad companies out there, but in my opinion this is not one of them. I am a 13 year veteran of the road and out of all the companies I have ever worked for, this is one that I am glad to go back to and that is exactly what I am going to do.

Hello, my name is James and I would like to comment on the report against Beech Systems. I have driven for US Express since 1990 and have spent eight years of that as an owner operator both through Beech and US Xpress. One of the pit falls of being a driver of a big truck is that you can't expect to be where and when you want to be all the time. This not just a job people, it's a lifestyle. Think of a truck as a ship and you're her captain out over the open seas. Your gone for weeks even months at a time, always in danger from delays or worse from mother nature. If your out of hours then your out of hours, but you need to make sure your giving yourself fair value for that time and not just wasting it to give yourself leisure time. When you accept an assignment, it is your duty to follow it through. Under the definition of abandonment, the dictionary says the following: halt something in progress: to stop doing something before it is completed, usually because of difficulty or danger -Encarta World English Dictionary Although you didn't park the truck and her load off some dirt path, you still abandoned the load and your duty you agreed upon. A truly responsible individual completes their assignments and ends their employment through the appropriate means.
