Hi. I'm the boyfriend, that drives for Summitt Trucking, of the one who uses this name. The reason I'm typing this is that I was real impressed with Summitt at first, but after the happening of the last few weeks, I'm no longer impressed.
The week before Christmas, I accidentally clipped a control post for an electric gate. I was in a tight place and trying to make a turn through a gate and keep from getting stuck in the mud. I thought "No big deal " since it was the first incident since I started with them almost 2 years ago. I was wrong.
They put me before their"Driver Review Board", without telling me, and their disciplinary action was a"Final Warning, termination is next action if any other incidents or citations happen.
The only things that I have on my record are 1 speeding ticket, 1 warning for speeding and the incident with the control post.
Me personally , I think this was a too drastic of a measure to issue to a person with a record as good as that. I have bailed them out on several occasions. Taking loads that other drivers fell off of or that they just couldn't get covered. Loads for some of Summitt's biggest customers but that doesn't seem to matter to them. I don't think that I will be doing any more favors. You can have a good record, always on time for deliveries helping out whenever asked but they don't care. All that they see is the bad.
That's why I'm looking for another job. Maybe with a company that knows that good drivers are hard to find.
