Aug 30, 2021 Report

I would advise any driver to steer clear of this company. I worked for them for a week and a day. I injured my back on the Monday and told them I would stay and battle on till the end of my shift! I should have just dumped it as they have deducted money off my wages and dont think I will ever see my money for that shift I did on the second week! Should give you the option of no stars as that is what I would rate them!!
