I use to work in the Tennessee market as a driver for this company. It ain't even about the radegy trucks, equipment, no raises, none of that. For me, its about the hillbilly they got working as the driver manager. This dude is so lazy and he disappears for days at a time while his drivers are FORCED to work 12 -14 hour shifts. He shows up in the afternoon and FORCES his drivers to run errands and get trucks fixed (which is his job), while he messes off the entire day. This guy puts the ""L"" in lazy and his work rolls down hill to the drivers. When his boss comes to town, he's a different person. He runs around like a robot working till he sweats. But the minute the boss leaves, back to the couch this dude goes. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how a manager for anything can be allowed to manage so poorly and continue to get away with it. He has shown on numerous occasions his inability to manage people. He can barely run his own life and people are FORCED, everyday, to allow him to manage their time. Everything you read in these reviews are true about this company. When I worked for them, I really didn't have a problem with the other stuff as most of them were pretty dumb anyway so, it wasn't hard getting out of most of the stuff they tried to make you pay for. Communication is the key here. BLS, communicate with your drivers. Instead of slamming them all the time, ask them about the problems they have. You don't have anyone on-site watching the managers you have in place and trust me, they need to be watched too. And also, please start screening your managers better. You screen the drivers but do you screen the managers? This guy is on the 'Sex Offenders"" list for God's Sake. 2 separate counts, several years apart so, he's got a problem for sure. He should not be allowed to get in trucks and go to people homes without them knowing this about him. There are laws in place for this kinda stuff. Yet you employ him, send him around people's children and wives without them knowing about him. This is wrong. Shape up BLS. Shape up............
