    1 horrible dispatcher, yelled at me for calling him after safety and driver liason told me to call him. The dispatcher refused to help us get into our trucks, notify us about the platform HOS, tell us what the address was to pickup trucks which they lied and said they had trucks for us in Little Rock. I called safety which I was instructed to do and they kept saying..call the dispatcher. The dispatcher refused to call back. They had us go on MICROSOFT meeting to meet the lying dispatcher on Tuesday afternoon. They lied and said they trucks for us at Little Rock. They had over 70 trucks at the terminal. Only their "pets" got a truck at terminal. Pets means the ones that acted the worse in class and admitted they could not pass hair follicle test. They refused to provide hotels or fuel to pick up trucks. The dispatcher said we were not going to reimbursement for fuel to drive to pick up the trucks. Sent us out at 4pm to recover trucks and the dispatcher refused to call us and give us details we needed to travel or the location of the recovery. Half the class had to recover trucks. 17 previous drivers walked out this week and left the trucks at KY terminal. They had nice trucks and gave us the worse trucks. The dispatcher was horrible. They refused to properly train us on Geotab in orientation. They said "the computer is broken and we can't show you how to use it. No hands on allowed to train HOS or how to enter trailers and shipment info. It got worse. Half the class went to the bar got drunk day before we were to get our trucks. This caused the entire class to be kept at the hotel for an entire day to let them sober up. They lied to us and said our drug screen tests were not in yet. The alcoholic driverz got the best trucks at the terminal. They made the nonalcoholic clean drug screen driverz like me go pickup a truck out of state. They had us drive to Savanna GA, Maryland, Allentown PA Alabama etc when they had trucks there. Drivers doing anything they wanted to do and nothing happened. One walked into my drug screen testing session stood in the middle of the testing room. The nurse had my urine in his hands about to pour it in the container. The bad driver claimed he was looking for his drivers license he had lost. He didn't knock just busted in! He sat in the class and laughed. He then proceeded to stalk me every day..everywhere i went he showed up typed crap on his cell phone and sat there stalkingand laughing. They gave him a brand new truck in Little Rock, had me drive to KY to recover a truck in less than 24 hours. This stalking crap..1 day yogurt, 2 day yogurt, normal cups of breakfast bar yogurt at any hotel bb..3 day they stole all the yogurt I was eating on the breakfast bar and told the staff not to let me have any yogurt.
    The drivers were gang members and kept disrupting the class. Acting psycho screaming about going to Steven's Transport in a TLI truck to get HER GLASSES she left there. Psycho drivers they hired screaming about too many cameras in the class. They gave us the worse trucks. The platform computer system cloud shutdown our Comdata system. We could not fuel up and leave. AFTER the computer crashed and I was going to be stranded in a racist town Owensboro KY no fuel ...the terminal nobody is working on the trucks. I requested new airlines and they told me we have three mechanics you have to wait ..while they sat around eating pizza.The orientation was horrible. They had cheat sheets and refused to give them to the entire class and made us waste time going in their offices to get them.

    As much elaboration as there was there, I felt like there is still more needed....

    I went to Owensboro, KY once. Delivered to Coca-Cola there. They were very nice to me. They even called me "sir," as opposed to the N-word, or any other derogatory term.

    In all seriousness, I need to clarify for the sake of those reading this post, are you talking about Transco Lines Inc based in Russellville, AR? That TLI?
     
    TB John, Numb, Concorde and 1 other person Thank this.

    Once again, slavery was abolished in 1863. You have the right to get up and walk out, if things are as bad as you portray them.

    This was your clue to find a different company to drive for... No company worth thier salt has 17 drivers walk out in 1 week.

    Never had any troubles with anyone in Owensboro, i’ve sent drivers all over there never said anything to me about not going back because something happened.
    Maybe there’s a recurring problem here…?
     
    JolliRoger and Concorde Thank this.

    Exactly 2 years ago, you had a very similar experience at Heartland Express. That means that in July 22, 2026, you will do another big write up. Who will it be then? Crete? JB Hunt?AmazonPrime?

    never heard a driver like it there to be honest. That said I really don't understand what he wrote to point as to why he hated it bad trucks? or am i missing something cheat sheets? idk as for stevens I know they a bad company would never switch to go there but there is always someone who can manage stay any company terrible or not rather its a Chicago company or something else me personally unless your paid 100% of your time at work you are being screwed over that's just me.
