Report
Hell no don't do it. This company is nothing but a bunch of biggots and liars. They don't pay per diem if you work out of town it is straight pay no overtime, no insurance unless you pay for it and it is horrible insurance. They required you to come to mandatory safety meetings on your time and dime. They don't give a damn about their driver's, yell at you one minute for other drivers breaking safety rules then next week the company requires you to break the rules by working 17 hours in a row without any break wouldn't even provide a porta potty for the driver's and if you went looking for a bathroom

Report
Kent trucks are flying past us (and we are going 70 mph already), spraying rocks and debris from their truck beds. While the sign on their tailgate says "stay back 200 feet", this is hard to do when they come sailing past you with rocks flying. Please find a way to be more considerate of othe travelers on the highways.
