My Veterens Couselor found this job posting on Craigslist San Antonio and he emailed them. The next day we called and was told that I could start immediately. This Company is Based out of Elk Grove Village Ill. but they opened and office in Irving Texas. They said they would fly me to Chicago or Irving from San Antonio That was Lie #1  I ended hitching a ride with a driver who was from San Antonio and was instructed to drive me to their yard In Irving Tx. Lie #2 They don't have a yard you just park the truck and trailer in a closed down office building next to where they lease an office.  Before we even left San Antonio the driver started telling me of all the crap this company has done to him and other drivers. Dam I wish I had given this company the benefit of the doubt. That driver told me straight out that he didn't think I would put up with these crooks like he has. And the only reason he put up with them was to pay bills for his family for him it was a neccesarry Evil. He was right it only took 2 weeks and I gave my 2 weeks notice. But the owner was very upset with me for 2 reasons: My first week Icomplained that the truck needed an alignment and a tire so they payed for this at a TA tuck stop Total bill $1100.00.

Second week I told them I would take a load because of the trailer brakes not working properly which I told them the ist week. So total bill $1000.00 to fix trailer brakes. As a Veteran driver I will not drive an unsafe vehicle on the road but these people don't care they only care about getting paid for the load you deliver. Lie #3 our Equipment is new and DOT inspected. Trucks are fairly new yes but they are not maintained by their Mechanics why Because they don't have a shop or Mechanics. Get paid every week Lie #4 yea right more like every 11 days. Upon hiring on to this company the fleet manager (Randall Creamer)assured me that I would be driving on the southern part of the US. I told him I would drive from Los Angeles Ca to Florida he stated that would be available. Well that never happened so after 2 weeks of driving to Ky, Pa, and of course to Chicago to fill all the paperwork I knew I had a made a bad mistake of driving for this company. After driving for 10days I finally filled out the paperwork in Chicago. Beware read every single page that you sign. My dispatcher had a load for me and needed me out of there fast so I was to told sign here and here this is about this and that, hurry up you have a load and thank you be safe  and good by.

Well the reason the owner kept  Thousand dollars from my final pay was because I signed a form that stated that upon leaving you must give 2 weeks notice or you will be fined 1000.00 I knew nothing about it so when I gave him my 2 weeks notice and he was complaing about me that all I did was complain about the vehicle I told if he felt that way then I would leave immediately,  He said fine. I stayed in Houston for the Thanksgiving weekend thinking they would have me take a new driver to Irving and he would take over the truck. Monday he said I am to drive the truck to the so called Yard. I left the truck clean and organized compared to how Igot it. Anyway they charged me $250,00 Because Iquit in Houston and they charge a dollar a mile to return it back to the place they call a yard. I was ok with that not happy but I was happy I was done driving for them.  Well Iwaited for my final pay which was 2 weeks late and My total pay was 203.00 and on the statement (pay stub) it had deducted $1000.00 for failure to work on my 2 week notice. When I called the lady at the office she said I signed a paper that said if I didnt stay and work 2 weeks they would fine ne  $1000,00

I have had a CDL since 1981 and I know there is not a single driver in all of the United States that would quit a job knowing that they would be out of a THOUSAND Dollars if they didn't stay 2 weeks. The owners name is Dan but since he is from Russia or Bulgaria it is spelled Daiyn or something like that. You should at least told me of the circumstances but as everyone knows you needed my 1000.00 to pay for all the work that was done on your truck and Trailer. I hope Texas kicks your a*s out and never lets you or your trucks in to my home state. The Texas Labor board will knocking on your door you we will take you to court.

So fellow truckers BEWARE of G D Trucking they are changing their name to Nix Trucking They are crooks stay away you will get burned.

GD Trucking feeling the pressure already.

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, February 15, 2017

Hello Professional CDL Drivers there is a brotherhood between all of us Commerical drivers old and young and that is because we are the driving force behind the wheel that keeps this country fed and supplied with all the commodities necessary to live. Please feel free  to complain if you are ever treated unfair or if a trucking company doesn't pay you your hard earned wages. Do alot of research on a company prior to signing on. 

I am replying to the Employers rebuttal that they posted after my first complaint with RipofReports. The name of the person posting for GD Trucking is supposedly Chris. Well Chris you claim that I spent a day at the Elk Grove Village office a day. please look at my log book for that day. I was hired in Irvine Tx. I was told that they would fly me to Chicago Ill. to fill out their apllication lol. A driver by the nickname of RED was instructed to dry me to Irvine Tx. from San Antonio Tx. Before we left the truck stop in San Antonio he gave me the PRO's and CON's of this company. When I told him that I don't play games with crooks or shady trucking companies he stated I should get off and look for another job because I would not stay here long. i had bills and the holidays were close was i why i didn't get out of the truck. I should have listened to him, but because of the fleet manager Randall sounding honest and truthful I decided to give the company the benefit of the doubt. Again, I should have listened to RED. I drove for a week before i arrived in Chicago to fill out their application I was there a total of 90 minutes. Only one lady brought the paperwork to me because she was ordered by the manager to do so. While filling out my appl. my dispatcher was telling the manager I needed to get out of there because they had a load to be picked up. Tanya the lady just put the paperwork in front of me and said sign here and here never explained what I was signing just company procedures she said. My mistake was not reasding EVERYTHING on those forms. I wouldn't have a problem giving them a 2 week notice especially if a thousand dollars would be kept and not paid to me.  I did give Daiyn (owner) a 2 week notice he was shouting on the phone and saying bring my truck back to Irvine and forget the 2 week notice. I said alright and brought the truck back to there so called yard. The truck was inspected by the fleet manager and I was given 300 dollars and he said the company cherged me 250 dollars to bring the truck back because they charge a dollar a mile from my last destination. I said ok and how about my 1000 dollars from all the loads I delivered. He said they would deposit it to my banking account yea right!

Chris at the end of your rebuttal you said that "this driver can't live with that"  Finally I here the truth because Chris you said something that is true. So I will go through all the legal matters whick I already have started. There is a aying and a sign all over the roads in Texas that I'm sure everyone who has driven in Texas has seen. But in case you never have had the pleasure to visit our great state because you are in Bulgaria or wherever in the Europe, or maybe you can't leave Chicago for fear of whatever. The sign is "Don't Mess with Texas"  And Texans have they're own sign "Don't Mess with Texans OR they're Money" more to come stay tuned.  

Please go and read more reviews or complaints about this company ay trukersreportforum.com thats where you will see other truckers describe the office manager and owner by drivers who don't hold back on their opinons and language, I read curse words that even my drill seargant didn't use LMFAO!!!

#1 UPDATE Employee

Everything was explained to this driver and he has signed every policy related to GD

AUTHOR: Chris - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, February 08, 2017

I have read this review carefully many times…

I know who the driver is and why he would post something like this. We have brought this driver for orientation and he was here for a day. Everything was explained to him and he has signed every policy related to GD. He drove here for maybe a week and decided to call it quits due to an unknown reason to us. We have asked the driver to explain on why he is leaving and have explained to him once again that he needs to give a two week notice and not just leave the company when he pleases. The driver on this review has made false accusations.

If the driver made the correct steps to leave the company that he worked for none of the charges would have applied.

I feel that as a company that has been in business for many years I should not have to defend myself and explain myself to someone’s wrong doings. Any job out there that anyone has should be treated as a job and not as a job for a week or 2. And even if that is the case you can leave like a normal person without any complications. The driver above has not done so and therefore he cannot live with that.
