Has anyone worked for Gordon Trucking or Bhandal Bros.
 

Unemployed right now, gotta get a job. Are either of these companies worth working for.?
I need to run at least 2500 a week and don't want to be out too long, anymore than 14 days is no good. I've got a family to see. Thanks for any help.

I hear Gordon is a great company to work for go over to truck.net and look up a member named Shuffler he has been with them for quite a while now and has nothing but good things to say about them, hard to get on with from what I hear, Bhandal is a joke that guy is a thief I have heard nothing but negative about them. If you want to run miles go over to Royal Express Inc. Where do you live at?

And that right there just about makes you unemployable in the trucking industry. Look for a local job driving in your area.

I live in Fresno, been doin it for 23 years, I have heard great things about GTI as well, heck I faxed over app and 2 hours later I was approved, just waiting on them to send me for drug test, but now I got another company that may want to test me, except I would drive to porterville. Thanks for the reply.

Well with Gordon I hear they'll approve you but when you get to orientation that's when the majority leave. Have you ever thought of Royal Express there in Fresno? What company in Porterville if you don't mind me asking? Good luck let us know how it goes.

big jeep worked for Gordon, but I dont think he comes here anymore

It might make it a little tougher right now, But i never stayed out more than 14 days and did pretty good.Plenty of companies out there with regional plans,probably not hiring right now but when things pick up,staying out less than 14 days is not hard to find.

Just wanted to say thanks for all of replys. Did all of my pre-employment for GTI today gotta be at oreintation on tue. When I get back i'll post.

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.
