Fischer trucking, Operated by Owner Alan Fischer, Head dispatched by Buck Kroeger with Patricia Roberts in safety and Ed Bated as Recruiter is one of the biggest illegal companies that I have ever driven for in my life. They tell you do what you have to to get the load there on time. Here is a small portion of how they are. If you are out of your 70 hours, they will tell you to go from Atlanta Georgia to Bruce Mississipi and then drop the load in California within 3 days. Another, if you have 4 hours left and have to go 700 miles, all you have to do is call Patty in safety and ask her to make a fuel stop disappear. If you have a truck that is not so safe to drive, they will tell you , after this run we will get it in, then when you are done, you hear , just one more and then there is this urgent load that needs to go back across the country. I have the names of the most so called trusted illegal drivers they have. I have my own dates, hours, experience as well as what other drivers were doing and how. But yet, when D.O.T comes in, they get off, I would like to know how it is D.O.T. allows a company like this to give bribes and get away from all this illegal running. the last 3 day sweep of 2009 had fischer trucking number 1 in violations, number 1. how messed up does a company have to be so they are number 1. lets also not forget the late great driver Jeff Darling, Who , while running illegal for Fischer was fatally Killed in a truck accident due to running illegal for fischer trucking. I know exactly where he was and where he was heading and how the loose leaf logs are used to keep Fischer drivers rolling. I have made a number of calls to the DOT hotline regarding the accident of Jeff and how they need to investigate it and it went uninvestigated. Jeff was a good man for the short time I had known him, but since he knew the consequences of telling fischer you are tired and need a break, he needed his position to support his family and knew if he stated that, to the bottom of the barrel he would go. Someday, DOT will investigate this company with workers who dont need to take bribes and will do something about this before yet another driver or a member of your ( the reader ) own family would get killed by the hands of a fischer driver who needs to run illegal in order to keep his job. Note to DOT if you read this, How many more have to die before you step in and do something about this company. Forget the innocent people who cant run that way anymore and try to get another job, then fischer goes to dac and csa 2010 and runs you down so you cant go anywhere else. |
