Complaint Review: J&H Trucking - Andover, Kansas

Randy Paxton failed to report that he had just been hired and this was his first load that he pulled for J&H Trucking. Mr. Paxton was only a half hour to an hour down the road from picking up his load on a Friday night when the accident occurred. He was supposed to be going to Andover, KS for his orientation for new hires on this trip and then deliver this load to Nashville, TN. He states that he called a multitude of people but the most important ones, J&H Trucking (the carrier of record), he only left a message on the answering machine in the office after hours. Mr. Paxton did not call the 24 hour-Safety Hotline to report this accident so consequently J&H Trucking Safety did not know about this accident until the following morning (Saturday). By this time J&H had no way to respond to the accident, especially if he should have been given a citation, by law he would have been required to go in for a Post-Accident Drug & Alcohol test. There were no witnesses to this event, no evidence of a "car load of teenagers" that forced him off the road and no evidence of him evading said car. The only true and indisputable evidence is that the truck was gradually driven off the side of the road in which it eventually rolled onto its side. Bottom line, the driver failed to contact J&H to respond to this accident. ALL drivers are under probation for the first 30 days. He had an accident in the first hour of hauling a load for J&H Trucking. In this case he rolled a load over on his very first trip so consequently he was listed with an unsatisfactory safety record upon his release.
