To whom this may concern,
After working as a general manager for Surcar Transport and Services in Montreal, through self-determination I decided to renounce to this position and return to the highway as a company driver. Years of experience in the industry have taught me to work as much as possible according to the rules of the logbook. STS not only breaks the rules on a daily basis but also pushes its drivers beyond any acceptable limits- 8000 miles in thirteen consecutive days, for instance. I have complained to the ownership in the past, and in the present, about the irresponsibility of such actions only to be responded, “the trucks have to run!” As general manager I was fully responsible and liable for the actions of the company to the Department of Transportation and I was unwilling to do so. Consequently, I no longer work for STS.
At this moment I am looking to work for a company who is in the position to provide steady runnings with mileage inside of the law. A company that understands the driver’s logbook operations- I am tired of running past the hours required by the law. To date, in my twenty years of experience, I have a very clean driving record with no accidents, no cargo claims, no late arrivals, and with only two points lost not related to my job.
I am willing to move to any company who fits the profile I have described and who will provide short or long hauls. A company that is structured on a first come, first served basis, with few layovers, with drop and pickup pay or pin-to-pin, and with waiting time pay. I do not require any insurance or medical plans since I am already covered. I am looking for a company that does not send its drivers to New York City or to Chicago on a steady basis. However, I am willing to move or drive anywhere in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. I am fluent in English, French, and Spanish.
I can contribute to the company with my experience, my honesty and integrity, and with my work. I am familiar with the LINK LOGISTICS and DAT. I have never been fired from any company for wrongdoing. In the past, I was an owner-operator, so I know that the biggest handicap of this industry is trustworthiness. This is the best asset that I can offer any company.
I hope to hear soon from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best Regards,
Joseph Gomez
