Talked to a fellow today from Kennesaw Trucking (in Ga) who shares the lot with the company I work with. I asked him about his company ...he loved it...I was impressed with what he had to say about Kennesaw Trucking. as I walked away he stopped me and said... 'They are a very religious company'....you will get a prayer on the qualcomm each day weather you want it or not ! What tha !? ....why does some of these people insist on this kind of stuff? What difference does it make in the real world as to some fellows religious pretense ? Its time to stick to the bussiness of trucking... :roll: Let the drivers drive....and let the owners keep thier dellusions to their self.... Amen

Amen I'd rather have the prayer on the Qualcomm every day as opposed to my EX dispatcher sending me messages about not making U-turns or parking on the shoulder /on ramps ...Or how driver so and so was detained for 2 days at the receiver/shipper ,but he put $50.00 on his check to make up for the lost time due to his "positive attitude" Gee wow 2 days sitting and a positive attitude about not being paid well got him $50.00 dollars I bet that puts curtains on his room at moms house :wink: :lol: wow!! fifty whole dollars!!

Dont know whats going on with them but I was looking at Kennesaw as an option.

Dont know whats going on with them but I was looking at Kennesaw as an option. he said he backed into a truck at a truck stop and put a minor dent in it, he had the driver paged and he never showed up. so he left a note on the truck with name, company and truck number, when he got in they fired him for having a hit and run wreck.. again, this is what he told me, I wasnt there and I dont know anyone else who has worked there

That was my response after getting the message on my Qualcom ,and taking the time to read it...And was also part of the unprofessional use of the Qualcom my dispatcher used to terminate me ...What is really unprofessional is that my ASSCLOWN dispatcher would send that message to a driver and expect another driver to think RIGHT ON $50.00 bucks SWEET DEAL that's worth 2 days of my time as a professional driver . If my dispatcher wants to see a smile over being detained for 2 days ,and being paid FIFTY bucks I suggested he hit up a TELETHON . :lol: |
