Celadon Trucking/Quality equipment Bait & switch indianapolis Indiana

Truckers beware! Celadon trucking is scamming drivers/lease purchase operators. Recruiting dept tells prospective company drivers/lease purchase drivers to come on up to Indy, yet they have no trucks. No company trucks, or lease purchase trucks. They have quit dealing with Quality Equipment (which Celadon Group owns.)

You get to orientation and you were told that you would pick out your truck the first day. Now you go to orientation and then afterwards are told there are no trucks available at the Indy location and you must go out and recover trucks for them. Same for company drivers. Celadon has no company trucks at their corporate headquarters, company drivers are placed on a bus and sent as far away as Laredo Tx to get a truck. Thats 45 hours by bus.

Celadon's stocks have tanked, they are being sued by their investors. This is a company in complete turmoil and I see no chance of this company ever surviving. There are company drivers that have been sitting weeks in Indy waiting on their trucks to come out of the maintenance shop. Staying in a dorm facility that used to be a womens detention center.

They put you in a dorm room that is 8 ft X 10ft, 2 single beds and two wooden closets. You have to share this room with another person. There are no toilets, sinks or showers in the dorm rooms. So drivers must go to a common restroom to shower, shave, or use the toilet.

Celadon recruiters knew three weeks ago that they were about to pull the plug on Quality Equipment, yet they kept telling perspective employees that everything was good. One week after they pulled the plug on Quality Equipment, the recruiters were still telling people that they could come to Indy and pick out a Quality Equipment truck. Celadon keeps hiring company drivers, bringing them to Indy and they have no trucks for them.

Celadon and Quality estimates are that there are several hundred trucks (company and lease units) sitting throughout the united states. Why are so many company drivers and lease purchase drivers, quiting and dumping their trucks?
