[@trucks-n-guns4878]

Did you make it to Hurricane?

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

Here's the God honest truth about Hurricane Express. I worked there and never got a dime out of my paychecks due to them keeping the money for tires, road use taxes and mic charges for the trucks expenses that seem to take up the rest of each transaction that ruck ever turned for a load. So you always stay needing trip money just to live off of. You know the deal Mr. Owner operator leased to a company who owns the truck to keep you broke. So you have to work even harder to stay alive and never mind trying to raise a family off the truck money too. Because there isn't any left by the time they do all the paperwork you might even own them. How about those terms to work for? Now that's the truth I worked for them and ran Truck # 1 for years. That is how long I have known them. Back when they ran for Momma Sioux out of Tontitown AR. Running to LA up to Salina and back to New Bronx, N.Y. at the Market. if there is a lawsuit I wish I could get half my money back that I earned when I was there for more than 5 years, off and on when I would help them out from time to time. It was so bad I used to have my wife do the log books for them and team their off duty drivers with on duty just to be able to log the trips they turned with a single driver on those trucks. Sometime I had to have three drivers on my truck to legal the logs for all the miles I ran for them each week. My wife made more doing log books then I did on the road. I should have stayed home doing log books for them I would have made more money. As far as Loads I got my own, because H&M bay would run you and have you loaded with LTL frozen freight. With more drops than you could do for two weeks on the road and wanted you on the opposite coast by Friday so you could load back to the east coast or west coast for the next week of running to do it all over again. So I found my own brokered loads. So I could run my own schedule. That was the only good things I had going for me on their truck. If you want to see the wife you had to take her because it would be months before you could ever think about going home. So we would live on that truck for months at a time, most of the time it was more than three months before we would even think about trying to get by the house unless you pulled some Tyson loads that were lucky to get a buck a mile for. You know the drill if you ever pulled Rocky Mountain freight before. Tysons' brokered loads. It all sucked for pay. So I would get my own deals. Eddy and Caden wouldn't even ask me what I was doing out on the road I dispatched myself on my truck I was supposedly buying from them. Which by the time you could ever pay it off it would make you broke on repairs for parts and labor unless you did the work yourself. Which I did. After all you are an owner operator leased onto them. It is your responsibility to keep your truck running and up to DOT standards or it is your ticket not theirs. And your speeding tickets if you cannot run fast enough for their dispatchers. Or pay late fees for missing appointments no one can drive as fast as their dispatchers schedule you for their deliveries. Trust me they don't care about you or your truck being legal either. I could go on but I digress. By the way, this company has been this way since day one and it will be that way till they are outlawed from the Trucking Industry by DOT and ICC. or the Federal Government somehow. Last trucking company I would ever work for in the world. What's that tell ya?
