Then there was the $100+ worth of equipment you had to buy. And finally the $500 bond you had to pay in at $25 a week. If you had any kind of accident they could take the bond and dip into your pay for the rest. It burned me to no end that they didnt tell me this stuff up front. Even their website says nothing about this stuff. It is the only company Ive been with that required a bond. They were heavily into hauling auto parts, and you know how things are going with that industry. All the way around best to avoid them. I stuck around a week to have something to do, and gave them their truck back.

hmm, about A.D. Transport- my friend has been working for them since last August- is really enjoying it-- running 4000+ miles a week and home about every 2 weeks( lives 30miles north of Louisville-running out of Louisville) was trying to talk me into getting on there-and I was tempted as he's really making the $$$ and keeping the wheels turning.
Not sure I agree with your statement about all their Recruiters being Liars!
Have you ever dealt with any that weren't liars?
Did you ask about the pay? before jumping on the bus? I haven't called one of their recruiters- a year before my friend went to work for them-- and was told upfront---.37cent empty .41 cent loaded. ( Right, that kinda scared me off right then).
Crete/Shaffer makes you buy about $200.00 worth of equipment-Enforcer Locks, Load Locks ( and their recruiters never mention that either) so consider yourself lucky.
Yeah, the bond is crock of crap--$500.00; worse is the signed agreement that they can "deduct" for accidental damage.
Long time ago- Companies always deducted a $400.00 deposit- but the government( I thought) made them stop-- because they didn't pay you interest on that- and having to start paying interest was too much of a bookkeeping hassel.
They just lost the Ann Taylor( California) account- 2 weeks ago, so now my buddy is worried about his "GRAVY WAGON"- They said they couldn't hire me out of Arkansas because they just lost that account-- funny thing, they told me- before they told him-- I actually got to break the bad news to him. But, the promised to keep him moving....
