Genesis Transportation/Penn Tank Lines

I searched high, and low about this company and couldn't find any resource.

Here I will start a thread pertaining a flatbed company by the name of Genesis Transportation located in PA.

I found this job looking through the craigslist website. I called in on about last month they sent me a application to my email which in fact I filled out, and sent back with what ever documents where needed for employment.

Before sending out my application I wanted to know the good, and bad about working with this company, since I couldn't find anything related in/on the forums I had to ask them, which you know 98% of companies give you the pretty side, than when signing on to them you find out the ugly side.

The question I always ask when getting hired would be the orientation, training, pay rate, home time, and so on.... The conversation I had with one of the employers, how would I get to, and from the facility? the answer they gave me from the beginning was that they would pay my way to get there, and also pay for lodging. I said great sounds good. The pay rate wasn't bad either from what they told me 160 a day for training starting at 46cpm..... I was very anxious about getting this job that when they even asked me to fax them over a abstract report I went out of my way took a whole day off from work that I will not get paid for to make sure I got this abstract.


It took me weeks not days but weeks to send them all the information that was needed for verification, and also for them to finish the process to verify me.

Everything seem to be fine until I got a call today from them this morning. Asking if I was to be able to get to their company from where I live, mind you I live about 3 hours away. I stated on this conversation, ''I thought you guys where going to pay my way to get there, and pay for my hotel?''
The person on the other end, Megan was her name said ''NO''! (Who is this Megan anyways I thought to myself) you have to find your own way from there to here, I said ummm ''OK'' I find my way over there, where am I going to stay at? She further stated that I wouldn't be staying any where I would be going back home after the road test?

So the Recruiter got on the phone with a attitude problem I think his name is Fred asked "don't you have a car" I was thinking to myself ''WTF?'' he said they normally don't pay for any transportation to, and from their facility and I would have to waste my own gas money to get there, or pay for my own rental. He started to raise his voice at me stating ''I thought you drove trucks??!!'' when you come work for us your going to travel... Yea ok I am going to travel but from your expense not for free!!!!!!!!

I said hold up for a second before I filled out this application I was told a different story now I am going to have to waste my gas, and time lose another day on my current job, and not get paid for it to take a driving test 3 hours away!!! come back here, and waste more gas, and not be guaranteed a job?

I just hung up on them. I got a call back from the dispatcher stating they where not going to go further with my application since I hung up the phone rudely........ Ummm duh? That was giving you the hint I wouldn't want to work with a company that couldn't afford to pay the applicants way to, and from there when it is a total inconvenience, and on-top of that lied to from the get-go. How much more bu11sh1t do I smell here? I went ahead and Hung up before he could even finish his idiotic conversation with me.

This is my experience with this company, and luckily I didn't further go on with their little fiasco. Seems to me they don't know where their head, and butt is at.

So off to the drawing board I look further on for a new JOB. I look it at this way things happen for a reason, and go for what your gut instinct tells you.

How would I even trust these people or put my life in their hands if something would to happen with the truck while I am away or if I got injured with their attitude from what I could tell they wouldn't give a flying **** what would happen to me! so in that case I wouldn't give a flying **** back, take that job and shove it up you know where. With the credentials I have it will be easy for me to get a job, these people swear up, and down about themselves that they where the last company on earth, and us applicants would have to put up with this little kiddie bu11sh1t. Be truthful from the beginning you idiots.

 

Did you not read through my post? I mean if I was promised what was said from the beginning I wouldn't have a problem.

So your going to drive 3 hours away skip a day from your employer, lose pay, and if you don't get hired you lost a day of work plus gas, and tolls. I guess you have been doing it all wrong since most employers do pay for a way for you to get out to them since your a candidate as a potential employee. It's not like its a hop skip and a jump. Should I have paid for my abstract, and took that day off from work, or should have the company done that themselves?

There is no cry baby in my thread it's actual facts. You made up a ridiculous statement which is fine since its your opinion on how you seek (see) things but as far as I know when something is said from the beginning how it is going to be done, I expect it to be that way not changed around, and act dumb founded when the day comes.

Judging from your character you seem like you work for a bottom feeder (recruiter) so I am not going to pay to much attention to your post. Have a good night. Ohhh before I go anyone can put up how many years you have been trucking on the little trucker icon on the right side of the screen doesn't mean you actually have those years in you.

Another thing can you elaborate about this company? or is it that you found nothing to do after munching away from those Twinkies that you had to run in here, and defend a company you know nothing of? This is based off my opinion just like yours.

 

Exactly, they stated that the position I was going to be hired for (trained) which would be flatbed, would have orientation involved so if I would have pass the road test I would stay in a hotel, but today I was told differently... That I would have to find my own way to get to them waste my own gas, my own toll, and not be compensated so what you think about them apples? I can find a local job pulling dry, and get paid the same amount they are paying, and stay local, but since I want the experience in flatbed that is why I was looking for a employer willing to take me in. This is why I applied for this job. If I would have known from the begging that I was going to drive those 3 hours and had to pay my own way to get to them then I would had all that time from when I first applied with this company to have everything planned out.

They tell me can you get to us tomorrow? I said what do you mean get to you tomorrow? Remember I am still hired with a different employer, and I would have to give my employer a week notice before I make any moves. Anyone running a company should know this, why would they ask idiotic questions? I told them can we make it Monday they stated ok so how your going to get out to us? they knew exactly what was said to me from the begging why would they switch up the whole story on how are you going to get to us? It was 2 people that told me that they would get me out there with out me having to put any effort into it. I am just pissed off that I had to fax all these papers, do a buncha emails, get my own abstract lost a day of pay, and was lied too. Anyways I wont be going to them just wanted to share my thoughts about this company and how they operate. I would be scared to work for somebody like this that doesn't have everything already planned out.

 

Your right about that, that is why I avoid companies that sell you this beautiful vision on how everything is so perfect, and the pay is so extravagant. Just tell me the flat out truth wdf I don't want to be wasting mine or your time it's just plain retarded (excuse my language).

Don't you see why I hung up, and he had the nerve to call me back to tell me I will not be employed by them um yea because your too cheap to even get me out there. Why would they ask if I had a car? I mean I could have one car and me and my wife use it so that would leave me with no car because I have kids so if there is a emergency what will she do? anyways companies like this don't think 3 steps ahead its just backwards.

 

No problem thanks for the consult.
