Don't work for them, pays nothing; raises don't keep up with inflation; and they treat their 'favorites' much better

I had one of their vehicles driving on I80 in nebraska a few days ago and the driver was texting and driving (eyes not even on the road)...I tryed to call them to get it taken care of, left a message asking to be called back. 5 days later still no call back. Glad to see texting and driving dosnt matter to them.
