Complaint Review: Maximum Trucking LLC. - Houston Texas

I, Rick Daniel, want to extend a sincere apology to Corinne Bovio in reference to the comments written by the Owner of Maximum Trucking.  The statements that were written were mis-informed and inflammatory at best.  Corinne Bovio was an excellent Employee who excelled in whatever she was task to perform and was instrumental in developing a wide range of policies that Maximum Trucking utilizes today. 

To clarify, Corinne never worked at an illegal gambling facility, but she did, however, work next door to one and would exclaim how she wished the authorities would do away with these types of facilities.  Being that she is a law abiding individual, she would and has been extremely trustworthy in every endeavor.

I personally enjoyed working with Corinne Bovio and would welcome the opportunity to work with her in any capacity in the future.  I wish her well for her future and would expect Corinne to key part of the success of any company that may employ her just as she was instrumental in the growth of Maximum Trucking.

Corinne Bovio, Thanks for all you've done.

Sincerely,

Rick Daniel

Senior Operations Manager

I must apologize to Corinne Bovino. I see I read the report wrong. In my rebuttal I commented that Corinne was the lying trucker. Who was pretending to be the trucker #45. It was not Corinne Bovine who tried to disrespect Maximum Trucking LLC. It is the same one an only trucker who is attempting to get under everyone skin and keep the lie he is perpetuating so everyone would believe it and cause them to second think the Maximum Trucking business.  By upsetting the balance of a good company. It would have been surprising that Corinne could or would have tried to do such a thing or say anything negative. We had wanted her to exceed, because she was loyal. I should have known it was truly a trucker #45 who had even disrespected Corinne by including her in a report he was using to disrespecting Maximum Trucking and Rick Daniel. The fact this trucker would lie and cheat to cause an air of accusations to fly around, lets me know this person would not be a good employee to work for Maximum Trucking. Maximum Trucking LLC wants only hard working, trustworthy, smart, honest, self-motivated, positive, supportive,hard working, emotionally stable people.

Each time I have had to comment on this posting or any blog about a statement that trucker #45 makes. It makes me encouraged that we only hire the best to work for Maximum Trucking. Thank God we never had a trucker #45 working for our equal opportunity company.  But we did have a Corinne Bovino.

I am the CEO of Maximum Trucking. I am the one who rehired Corinne Bovino. I know she first was working for an illegal gambling establishment. My operations manager wanted to help her. We were a new company and Corinne Bovino was hired as a dispatcher. She was not a trucker and is not a trucker. I noticed she is disrespecting truckers as she says she was trucker#45. She hated working as dispatcher and she hated working with truckers. She hated dealing with them when they came in the office or when she was to talk with them. The problems of her poor dispatching skills cost us money and she would come daily not dispatching. Our office manager hated her not having a good pay check. So she would give Corinne Bovino salary she did not deserve. She was always paid extra money. When we rehired Corinne to be an assistant to the manager. This to help train the new dispatchers she seem to like this position. She wasn't good at stepping in for the dispatchers or dispatching, but she liked being over someone. When the dispatchers were ill  Corinne would make no money. Instead Corinne cost us money by over booking with her poor dispatching skill. She worked for the company from costing money. When the offices were moved she was alerted she would have a hour drive. She still wanted to work for her set salary of $400 a week. She stopped being productive and would come to work and would not work, and not attempt to file, and of course not dispatching, which we desperately needed. Rick was her boss. But she would leave when Rick would leave. We could not pay Corinne for not working.  We made that mistake before.  Corinne Bovino knows she was lying about money we owe her. She owes Maximum Trucking LLC for all that pay she got, but didn't work for it.

The individual writing about Maximum Trucking is correct in stating that they did not receive payment.  There are reasons for every event that occurs in any business situation.  To begin, Maximum Trucking has a policy that clearly states and is signed by Owner Operators that they must comply with in-order to receive payment on loads they may carry.  First, you must sign a Lease Document that defines your position and pay agreement.  Second, if leased and you are assigned a load, at the point the load is complete, you must turn in the Bill of Lading in order to receive payment.  We, as a company, must turn in the Bill of Lading to the Broker in order to receive payment.  This person who has written this report against Maximum Trucking has failed to do both.  We do not have any documentation for even a payment agreement.  And though somehow, through a break-down that we have since corrected, he was able to take loads for Maximum Trucking, we have repeatedly ask for the Bill of Lading from this person and he refuses to supply us with these documents. Therefor, we cannot pay him monies we have not received do to his inability to turn over these documents. 

Now, to address the allegation that we are going bankrupt, we have not paid our staff, we owe a Factoring Company or that we don't have any office hours.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Maximum Trucking is well managed by a staff of Accountants, Master Brokers and Former Truckers. 

When Maximum Trucking first opened its doors they used Brokers off the internet 100% of the time.  We've always known that this was not a practice we could do for any real length of time. This practice was not a secret to any Owner Operators we had a relationship with nor is it uncommon within the Transportation Industry.  We have now acquired our own customers which translates to higher transportation volume and higher paying Freight but we still use Brokers from time-to-time for the purpose of backhaul from various locations in the U.S. that are rural. 

 The bottom line is that companies will inevitably have missteps during the first year of existence and will not be able to please everyone in all situations.  But, as companies learn and continue to grow, they will not be judged solely on what they have done good or bad but how they react, learn and grow from pitfalls and fortune along the way. Maximum Trucking is a solid company with good assets, great credit and most importantly sound integrity. 

 We regret that one person was not happy with their experience with Maximum Trucking and for that and to him we do apologize.  However, we do have a great reputation througout the Transportation Industry and in on-going relationships with numerous Owner Operators, Customers and Staff Members. 

Hi, It's your decision whether to lease to him or not, but just for you know,I worked for him for 3 weeks and didn't pay anything, and I know several people he owes money, Including dispatchers, factoring companies, drivers. His business is going bankruptcy soon, but if you want to be another victim of this guy and don't get paid go head and lease to him.
I will be very careful! Because I'm not the only one who has been scammed by him.

I've found this company on craigslist today there ad was very impressive I must say so I called them because I need better loads(long story short)so I spoke with rick the gentleman in the report he said that they have plenty of work and he seems to be ok but this report is making me nerveous .I sent him my paper work anyway and we'll see what happens next .I'll have up my guards all the way. But the bottom line is that all companies are full of s!%# in some shape or form. They say they do this and that ,no or little deadhead you get there and you are deading hundreds of miles a week,they tell you that there is plenty of work you are sitting at a truck stop for 2 days or force to deadhead home or take a load that pays .99 per mile .Its all bullshit these dispatchers/brookers are something else I cant just understand them we have a business to run just like they do. don't steal and lie to me just be honest and hopefully every thing will be allright
