Let's begin at the hotel......
We arrived at the Super 8 and got a nonsmoking room. When we got to the room, the outdoor handle wasn't working properly. Upon entering the room, it was warm, musty and smelly. There were cigarette burn marks on the top of the white microwave, countertops and in the bathroom. The smoke detector was in the nightstand drawer. The bedsheets were old and itchy (we slept with our clothes on). The AC unit only worked on full blast. By morning, our puppy, Bailey who is 9 lbs, was curled up in my husband's armpit and shivering!
Now, we get over to the operations office for MVT....
We sit down with the HR ladies....
They wanted us to sign all of our paperwork before anything got filled in, including pay rate. We were not allowed to opt out of per diem! They force their employees to take the per diem.
Now, we go over to the terminal...
Took my drug test and went to do my pretrip. The tester rushed me through but I did notice two bad tires on the trailer. When I brought it to his attention, he said, no problem, we can change trailers.....Three trailers later......
Now we go around the building to pick up hubby. The tester did not realize he was my husband and began #####ing to him about the female driver who took to long finding a trailer she was satisfied with.
Paul did his pretrip and found that two of the back trailer lights were not sitting properly. The rings were broke. Paul managed to fix one but couldn't fix the other. Paul got grease on his hands from it so he asked to go wash his hands to he didn't get it in the truck. He was gone MAYBE 2 mins.
We had to take the truck and trailer through the service line to get the other light fixed. As we were getting ready to roll out, I had to pee. The tester said no problem so I pulled around and went inside. In the amount of time it took me to walk through the cafeteria into the bathroom, go pee, wash my hands, walk back out and say two sentences to Paul, a guy in a safety vest came and got us and said the safety director wanted to see us. (Keep in mind, we are not even employees yet)
The safety director asked what the problem was. We told her about the safety issues with the trailers and her response was, and I quote, "it's not like I am asking you to take a load"! She grilled us about 15 mins until we finally told her that MVT was not a good fit for us.
The equipment is not made for teams and we do not like the incab cameras. We were told that they are never turned on in the cab but yet as we walked out of the safety director's office, there was someone watching an incab camera!
If you look for a change of employer, please for the love of God, stay away from MVT (Mesilla Valley
