On December 23, 2016 I was being forced to take a loaded trailer from N.Carolina to Alabama, about 400 miles, The trailer was in DOT violation and the Bills and dispatch did not match the trailer. because the driver that was assigned this trailer smashed it and then he took my load to hide his crimes!
After argusing back and with a one Paula childness (driver manager) I refused to take the load and requested the cargo be transfered to the empty trailer I had, they did not comply! she sent road service to look at the trailer because the door hinges was bent and the doors would not close! there was about 6 people there and all said the trailer was in DOT violation! it took 3 guys and two 5 foot bars to close the doors, all of them advised me that the trailer was in DOT violation not to drive it because its damaged!
Ignoring the extent of the damage Paula Childness said it was my load and I was under dispatch and I had to take it! I told her i will quit before i drive in DOT violation! so the arguement continued in email and on the phone so I quit! I live in Florida so I asked her for a load to go home, she said go dead head and take the truck back to the main terminal. so I did.
On my way back to the terminal still being in North carolina, the fuel card was shut off! I couldent get a cash advance, I just started the job tow weeks prior and I was expecting my first check after christmas.. so the company left me with no money and no fuel card! i request many times for a cash advance so i can eat but they just lied and and lied and never gave me no advance so I drove all the way back with out eating! this is how abusive this company is! they dident care if i passed out while driving!
On the way to florida I spoke to many people at the main office and the dispatch told me to take the truck home and just switch to another branch so i agreed! when I got to palm bay and parked the truck for the christmas holiday I did a pretrip inspection and noticed a water leak, the water pump went bad! I called and reported the water pump and a tom said to call him monday and he will send me to get the truck looked at.. Monday I called and was told to take the truck on tuesdays to TA on exit 147 off 95S this was 40 miles from my house, I took the truck there and then I was put in a hotel across the street, the hotel was booked for two days, on the first day I got a call from mark and he told me to take all my stuff out the truck that I was done! so I question him about the truck and he said that he had some one else to go get it! I told him im not responsible for the truck because hes telling me to leave! he said dont worry it wont go on your dac because i said for you to leave your finished!
I removed my stuff from the truck while it was in the bay and cleaned it.. I called my brother and he came and picked me up! i send a message on the qualcom that mark said to leave the truck there.. when I got home i called Greg my recruiter and told him what happened, he said soory man good luck! I said thanks take care!
