Well sparkles, I now see that this forum is run by W/G and that no matter what I say or any other surface person posts, they will not be believed. This is what happened at "CDC"-Metro.....Its not the first time we took a cdc load from metro, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc went off without a problem. When we showed up to this last 1, the lead man that runs the cdc show came outside and greeted us and saw me and shook my hand and gave me a half hug and also hugged my wife, why???, cuz we had done a very good job for him and he liked us....alot!!! We got-r-done!!! Well, i didnt see him greet anyone else this way and got eagle stare's for it from the w/g's there. We had gone over and introduced ourselves and got even more looks when we said we were surface fleet. Now, we were all alotted 30mins to go to the truckstop, and the snitch couple, rooster and his wife "rat" with the supersleeper took everbody's name's and cell #'s and we were to let them know where and when we left. We had asked for directions and were given the wrong ones and we got lost looking for this truckstop. Next thing ya know, wg calls and wonders where we are, we told them at the truckstop and we got lost. The dispatcher tells us that "rat" called them and said that we had just left without telling anyone and nobody knew where we were. So when we got back to the lot, as soon as we parked, we got another call about having cats in the truck, we knew we couldnt bring them when we signed the forms and left them at home. I got out of the truck and went up to rat and chicken and asked why they called wg and lied, they denied it. After they left, another wg came to our truck and told us what was going on...Chicken and rat were trying to get rid of us so the other wgs who showed up late could have our load, because they were pissed that surface fleet were there and that the customer really liked us. Everyday they tried to get rid of us by calling and making crap up and other wg's told us about it. I was even wondering when gail came out and made us trk 1 for the first group and said that we were staying, I didnt catch on till the end. We then kept to ourselves and chose not to be social with them, why talk to 2face jerks. We utilized to portapoties and when we needed the number 2 toilie we went to the truckstop. We even emptied our trash at the trkstp, and called in when we left so wg would know where we were and dispatch said we could stay gone longer than 30 mins as long as we carried the cel. Everytime we got back we just stayed in the truck and to ourselves and only talked to a few people, I like to socialize, but the wife was ticked off at all of them and stayed in the truck. Then nxt thing ya know, we were taken off the load and wg didnt have the balls to say why, we found out later that we accused of throwning our trash out of them window, and urine, and because we would talk to the snitches or as they say "socialize" with them, that we didnt belong there because we wern't wg. They even called in on a solo wg because their friends were turned away, you would know him, he has 9 trucks with fdccwg. They even called on 2 other surface guys for having a dirty truck, and 1 couple for having a dog, he was unaware of the no pet policy on cdc runs, he dropped it of at his mother-in-laws and came back. So bubba, if ya think that they were right to call and lie, then yer no better than them. In fact, there are 2 other supertrucks that have cool wg's in them, the Henline couple and the Blankinship fellow, we are even friendly with alot of "d" unit wg's, but the few apples that fell from the chicken tree like rooster,and his wife rat, her best friend who was kissing her booty, sue and her hubby, and the other part of their click, like their friend the facilitator can kiss our butts!!! We had bought extra equiptment to haul special loads, like blankets, extra straps, and bars,...etc In a year and a half, we had never had a problem with anyone, we treat all the customers with respect, not kissing their butts, and they treat us great when we return with "NO" complaints!!! And one day when we are o.o.s., we will be getting ahold of that customer and letting the truth be told and we will be showing him the pictures of what really went on and let him know the truth of that situation and see what happens...As they say, "the truth shall set you free." We are born again christians, and we prayed for the strength to forgive and we are somewhat over it. GOD will punish them for us and he will!!!!


Ya'all take it easy and God Bless You and your family and may your trucks stay safe and not break down. May we see ya on the road and maybe we'll do lunch, you'll know us when ya meet us....

maybe they are just all uptight because of the nasty fleet owners they work for.

these people own their truck. they have been with fdcc and roberts express and are good friends with certain people in the "rubber(white) glove" office. we were told that wg pampers their drivers and that the pretty much get away with whatever they want. if i could, i would attach a pic of them and their croonies, sitting in their pow-wow......and by the way, we are going over to landstar to possibly haul ammo/explosives, which pays a whole lot more that rubber glove pays......

I feel really sorry for you.

#####-off for a month and a half because you ran into a jerk.

Now you are going to cut off your nose to spite your face, and quit the best company in the expedite business.

I guess the jerks won, didn't they? Think about it.

If you want to be successful in this business, you need to learn to roll with the punches a little more.

Before you start spitting back at me, I just want you to know this advice comes from my own experience.

Here are my random thoughts.....

Forget it, it just isn’t worth posting a reply.

I have been tossing this idea around in my head and now I think I am going to go to Hollywood and pitch the idea of a "Dallas" style show about Fedex WGers. ATeam would be the JR Ewing character.

Just kidding.:)

You know I changed my mind; I do have something to say and no disrespect intended. I am not trying to p*** you off or stir the pot, but I guess I have some advice and no way of saying it gracefully.

After considerable thought and a miserable nights sleep, I came to the conclusion I would not hire you with this attitude.

Quitting, stalking (yes when you post pictures of someone’s home at part of anger and revenge, it can be considered stalking, a felony in some states) and just plain dumb attitude causes me to think that there is something else below the surface and the issue of grace under pressure comes to mind. I can just imagine if you had problems like this with another contractor, what happens if you worked for me and a customer was in their face about a damaged piece of freight, would I have to get my truck out of impound? I already faced this problem as an employer and have a zero toleration level for this.

After reading this post on EO and their post on another site, I am wondering if there are any problems you caused yourself. I read the post from the other site and even the replies and don’t see this as venting but rather you are trying to make a point to everyone about something we have no control over.

I find Jack Jackson’s comment on target, you let them everybody walk over you and win. You sacrificed working for a good company for what? Further more you just don’t get the simple rule in life as a Christian; you have to look beyond what happens to you in everyday life and move on (you know the ‘forgive and forget’ thing). Think about what Christianity is about and think again. Not getting religious with my reply but when you invoke any religious saying (like you signature line), there is an assumption you have some sort of religious knowledge and you use it in your everyday life. I won’t go into it any farther so not to offend others but will say this; in the last five years I have had some really terrible things happen to me and my family and as I tell my wife that I don’t worry about what happened (don’t dwell on it or even think about it) it is not worth it but I look at ways to make the situation better for us and explain to her this is what life is all about.

To tell you a little secret, if you expect to haul government freight and have a clearance on your word alone, think again. The back ground checks will include talking to your former employers and companies you contracted with and they will be asked a lot of questions and will say things you don’t like. Even though many people may say this does not happen, it does. I know the process for mid level clearances, needing a mid-level clearance as an IT contractor, but I never had to haul WMDs and would think in today’s atmosphere the checks would be rather intense. But with that said, they will interview the owner you drove for, FedEx and any other company that you drove/worked/contracted to in the past 5 or may even go back15 years and if there is ANYTHING that causes a red flag to pop up (like a bad attitude or violation of company policies), it will be a case where you don’t get your clearance and that’s all she wrote. There are no appeals or reasons given for the rejection. NOP is that you don’t get to know what was said, who they talked to or for that matter you will not even have access to your file so you will stew in your rejection.

I wish you luck in the future.

first of all, ......the house pic is of my own, yep its my house stupid, 2nd, most of my friends that were with fdcc are now with landstar. and me having a bad attitude against two faced people in the wg fleet, sure i'm allowed too. u must be one of them fools, but thats ok, you'll get yers to one day. i have a clean license and so does my wife, so landstar will hire us, whether you like it or not. and some of my other friends and other people i know of will be leaving too and i dont blame them. thats all i have to say.......oh and by the way, i have had govt clearance b4, i used to be an employee of the d.o.e. in nevada, a civilian employee, i know about the background checks, and i'm confidant that i will get cleared. now as far as being a born again christian and are values, i had let most of this go, there are more reasons to leaving fdcc than the wg thing, but those are another topic. and i dont stalk people, 1 day i will see them again in a resturant or public gathering and i will voice my opinion of them in front of their peers, then leave it alone. i think it'll be funny as hell to watch them squirm......but thats just me. here's another pic of my house.....

Greg, I made the same assumption you did on the house. Nice house, but I don't know what the point was in posting it. Just bragging, I guess.

No, he wasn't bragging. He had another pic up there, and changed it.

Ok!? I stand corrected, ....your house. I deeply apologize that I assumed it was not yours; your post didn't indicate it was yours.

Why post the picture(s) of your home? Just curious

But I still stand by what I say so I won't repeat things for other EO reader’s sanity.

I do need to just clarify a few things but first I am no fool, I don’t let things get to me. As far as being stupid, yea I agree, I wasted my time on posting a reply trying to help. Now I sound frustrated.

As far as the clearance thing, you may have been a DOE employee as I was a contractor, you still have to go through this again and still may face some problems because they do ask and it isn't like you can justify things in some cases. I am only saying this as a fellow expeditor and trying to help, not trying to yank your chain.

Oh yea, I already got mine, so please don't assume that your comments will effect me. I lived through hell for two and half years. Worst than combat, worst than anything you could ever image but I made it through. I won't say what happened or anything like that, but the event ruined many lives. I really don't think you could have handled it but that does not matter, I hope you never have to face anything like it.

I don't, as a rule, interject religious values or even remind people of any religious values in anything I write except my blog, so when I do, I do it to help. If it offended you, sorry but it may help someone else. My comments are not from a born again Christian’s point of view, I am not a born again anything, these comments come from my background and my intense religious education of many religions and cultures, including the modern Christianity movement.

I really wish you luck with Landstar
