you have an employee there by the name of Demetrious Cheney who is a truck driver at your Houston location He is a alcoholic and who stays up drinking two hours each night before it’s time for him to drive your trucks, he is endangering lives, and has been convicted several times for DWI, if he has an accident after I reported this information I have it documented that I did let you guys know he also worked for another company which was also a truck driving company that fired him for abusing cocaine
I have put in numerous applications over the last 4 years on the ODFL website for employment at the new facility in Memphis, Tennessee and haven’t got a call yet all i get is an email conformation letting me know my application has been received and it’s under review………….I was wondering is it something in my background that’s prevententing me from getting hired into the company? feel free to give me a call at (870) 636-XXXX….My name is Dedrick Birdo
I am currently an dockworker at the Rialto location, I was hired on as part time and the first day reporting me and the other people I was hired on with were told we were instead being promoted to full time status immediately, i just hit my 90 days and was looking forward to getting my full benefits, medical, dental, etc, instead i found out that a mistake was made and was never mad full time, an error was made when converting me and the others, i only found out because we all received a holiday bonus, but part timers only received half while full time received the full amount, my location is also in the middle of doing a shift bid company wide, and part timers do not get to participate, i was not on the list, so this further concerned me, after digging and talking to my assistant terminal managers, they were able to find out that a human error had occurred and they did not follow through on the process of converting me to full time properly, so now my 90 days just started, 90 days already into my employment, i do not get my back pay because i was suppose to get a raise, and holidays i worked do not get paid, also i do not get to participate in the shift bid because i had no seniority now, and all my assistant terminal managers and HR can say is, “theres nothing that can be done, it is what it is unfortunaly”, so I’m out of luck because there was an error made, not on my part, but that of HR.
I’m writing this, in concern for a former employ of yours.Jeff AdXXXX served O.D. for 21 years here in Cookeville Tn.I would hope your aware of his condition. He has a rare lung disease,and was forced into retirement,his doctors say he will not live out this year,without a double lung transplant.I hope to see a contribution on his Go Fund Me account soon.
I am a current employee of old domonion freight line inc. I have had over 30 + years of driving with awards givin to me. Any back in December I had a serious accident tractor trailer rollover putting me out of work for nearly 3 months and almost iniatialy almost dying from this there safety committee claimed it was preventable and I’m supposed to be terminated I’m still waiting to hear back from my appeal letter. It was clearly not preventable due to the fact that I had driven 270 miles without any indication of icy roads doing the regular thing a driver would always do. Checking mirrors for road spray from the tires and checking the backside of your mirrors for ice and the windshield anyway I wound up hitting ice on the road losing complete control and going off a embankment rolling over with 2 loaded trailers and no trolley brake to even try to regain control . There was also another tractor trailer facing the wrong direction in the same area.several accidents that morning . It was not a preventable accident at all being on ice and pulling 2 loaded trailers I feel like a termination is absolutely wrong.
