I'm a retired truck driver with about nine years experience with large carriers and smaller regional outfits. This thread as to the Bhandal Brothers Trucking is why I joined this forum. As I am now free of trucking I've not the least interest in extending my association with it, especially on a bad note. But I had the misfortune of working for Bhandal Brothers for a few months in 2012 and think I ought, finally, attempt to caution any driver who might be thinking of working for them. My employment with Bhandal resulted in writing letters to the California Attorney General, the California Highway Patrol, the Hollister Police Department, California DOT, the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health. Those letters are rather long, won't fit here. (Who may want a copy are welcome to request one at
[email protected].) I've worked for both good companies (Celadon to note) and bad (Covenant and Marten, the latter especially dangerous.) But Bhandal was a nightmare in every psychotic which way from attitude, bugging (spying), confusion, dishonesty, nonsense at an adolescent level, duty hours, equipment that if it rolled that good was enough, to sociopathic driver abuse with intent. Nor was I the only. But I better cease writing this before it becomes too long, there not enough space here to describe the terrible experience that Bhandal Trucking was. As I say, I would much rather simply delete Bhandal forever from my hard drive upstairs and move onward with life, rather than drag it behind me as like a ball and chain via such as this post. But, again, I believe I should warn others as to Bhandal, that some hapless driver not get caught in that disaster. For I surely wish it had never happened to me, having no notion what I was getting into when I applied there. That done, I'll now move onward to something far more peaceful and positive.
Has anyone worked for Gordon Trucking or Bhandal Bros.
