The owner of this truck fails to drug test his drivers, fails to collect completed employment applications on drivers, his vehicles are not properly maintained which result in constant break downs out of state and leaves the drivers without fuel. I ran out of fuel in indiana and my truck was blocking the highway and the state trooper had to call him to tell him that he needed to do something because I had the road blocked for several hours. He does not comply with your requirements and has not had an annual bit test in over 2 years.
