    Worked for these idiots for 2 seasons, they will screw you over when ever they get the chance.They do not tell you in advance how much you are making per load, they run you past the 16 hours HOS rules and when you break down on the side of the hiway at 12am they dont asnwer the phone!
    They will expect you to work 20 hours a day 7 days a week and when you call in sick cause you need sleep, Val will fire you over the phone cause you didnt give him a notice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    How the #### do you give them a notice when you just left there sick and sleepless????????????????????????
    Avoid this crappy little company like the plague, only peeps working there have multiple DUI'S or the lamers like me that didnt have any past experiance and didnt know any better!
    Last loads I had from them took me 700 miles a day, 16+ hours and they only paid me $200 a day for this crap!

    That is very typical of "Intra" Ca carriers operating under the 100 air mile rule. Been there, done that, especially aggregates. They don't get it. What do you tell a cop when you are inspected during your 17th hour? 3 am start times and 9 pm end times are normal. Hey, but your home every night,right? :kermit:

    I also just found out that the 112 hour ag exemption is for 7 days, not 8 days like Val and Wendell claim!
    They do not know or are making you go over your hours!
    16 hours a day X 7 days = 112 but 16 hours a day x 8 is way over!
    They fired me on my 8th day of 16 hours straight, LOL I was legally entitled to a break anyway!
    Lets see if these peeople try to fight me for unemployment!

    I went alot further then 100 air miles, walnut grove, ca to three rocks ca, look it up. and this is Agriculture hauling, they think rules dont apply but they still do, just the old rules and I think it should be changed.
    16 hours on and 8 hours off but having to drive 1 hour each way everyday to work.

    No we get paid more he just got mad because he got fired for not wanting to work. We only go about 450 to 500 miles not 700 hundred!

    The people in the office used to frustrate the hell out of me. When I hauled pears, I had to get them graded down at their yard off of Twin Cities. I'd walk in the office and they would look up and continue their conversations for a minute or two rather than get busy on the #### paperwork. They got all day to bs with themselves.

    So take your logbook to the DOT or OSHA if you have a legitimate complaint. but before you do consider who the driver that did do what you said and with the logbook, you are admitting to doing many illegal things. The company can say that you misrepresented your hours to them and they, on your wishes gave you one more turn each day.

    Do you think that the LEO's don't know what they are doing...and have been doing for decades? Get real...you will just be hanging yourself out to dry!

    and don't go bragging about your over hours to any company you want to drive for...they will check with Perez and you won't get work since YOU can't follow the rules.
