Hiner Transport ORIENTATION RIP OFF -DEFECTIVE TRUCK AND VAN Huntington, Indiana

I attended Hiner Transport orientation a few weeks ago.  Here is some information I think will help you if you decide to attend their orientation also.

First of all there is no way in or out of Huntington Indiana either by bus or taxi.  I used my own vehicle to get there but ***I was never reimbursed for gas expenses.

After completing the orientation I was issued one of the worst trucks I have ever seen.  They did not have qual-com but a system called **'people net' which was inoperable in the truck I was issued.  The glass on the front was broken and it had internal non-working parts.

The truck had an **automatic transmission which are in all of their trucks.  The truck would not move more than a few feet before stalling out.

I was told to pick up a specific trailer in their yard.  When I finally found it, it had a huge hole in it.  I went into the office to tell my dispatcher Shawn Greene about the trailer (I had to walk in because 'people net' was not working) he just shrugged his shoulders.  I also mentioned the fact that the truck and 'people net' were not up to DOT standards and were inoperable.

I got the brush of from both Shane Sanderson (safety trainer) and my dispatcher Shawn Matson.

Because I refused to operate a truck that was obviously a safety hazard, I just walked away after returning company property.

During the orientation class Shane Sanderson announced to the whole class that one of the driver's had failed the drug test.  I was surprised to hear that this guy had failed the drug test. He was a nice young African American who did not even smoke.  He seemed very well spoken and well groomed.  I don't think that they had the right to tell the whole class something so personal, if it was even true!

If you are considering employment with this company, I would suggest that you try somewhere else.
