With the way that the US is right now, and the fact that most Pilot car operators live from load to load, with a bit saved up, it is now in our backyard to decide what we are to do in this time of turmoil. We as a group have power, we have a business that is needed by the vital transportation industry, and the energy oil, gas, wind aspects of America.
What are we to do if we apply to the SBA and they give us the runaround on assistance, have any of you PEVO’S gotten any help from the SBA? I understand that there are many in this industry who have applied just to be sitting and twiddling their thumbs waiting on something that may not happen to assist.
So what are we ready to do in this situation? We have all complained about the Wal-Mart Pilot cars taking loads for the cheapest rate there is, when it undercuts the rates that valid PEVO’S require and need.
We value the livelihood that the truckers give us, we value the truckers that are out here hauling all the freight,even the freight that we don’t es**rt, but is it enough. We go into Hot Zones, we are special in our own way, but we are not above the next citizen we stand next too. But can we allow the government namely the SBA to treat us and our business as second class, and not worthy of assistance, I say NO, but it’s not just me. All of us have a voice, and we have to exercise our voice not to be trampled out of business. There are loads, we as a group know this, but can we sustain without assistance in this business.
United Pilot Cars of America’s never puts its opinion above the opinion of the PEVO’S out running, but Now at this time we have to decide whether we get trampled on, or respected. If the Government in the form of the SBA is going to ignore the hard working men and women in this industry, then if we are going to fall, we need to take the SBA with us.
United Pilot Cars of America is now advocating that we all stand together and make a decision whether we are going to be trampled or rise up and be counted as a voice.
Your comments are appreciated, but please respect the fact this is a serious venue, and name calling, asinine comments are better served on other pages not this, we have a few days before we all feel the pinch, so let’s decide what to do.

It’s now time for all of the concerned Pilots, whether you are a Lead, Steer, Chase or Hi-Pole to take a stand on the fact that favoritism is showing it’s head In This industry. Lately My company had to be certified with a particular company to haul their product, we got the certification, and committed to 5 runs. We did 3 of them, then when we were supposed to run the 4th, I contacted the lead driver to confirm the time he would be rolling out the gate the next day, he hem hawed around then informed me that the lead steer put together the group and that neither of my vehicles were on it. Now had I just went ahead and drove to the site, and then had been told that, I would have been a whole lot more upset than I already am.
Now the company is not aware of this action, and the lead steer when he was confronted, stated I made a mistake, his mistake cost my company and drivers money! That we would have been making.
We as Pilots have to take and remember that mistakes as they are so called, hurt people and businesses, we are supposed to know what we are doing, and that means if you have had one particular company running with you, that before you just blatantly replace.them, you check to see if there is a reason to replace them.
None of us are perfect, including me, I’d never claim to be, but we should be responsible for our actions. Should the replacement that was hired be replaced! Or should the lead steer be held responsible for his actions. This is a question that really needs to be considered, when a mistake is made who pays for it?
Being responsible for your actions is the proper thing to do, in this business, when you pull a stunt like this you cost someone hundreds, if not thousands of dollars depending on the load and the length of the haul. Input on this is appreciated, and this is not a rant, this is a statement for Pilots of all areas to consider, as to how your actions can hurt others, we need to help other Pilots of all veins, not hurt them.

Looks like it is time to bring matters to light for Pilot/Escorts, and this concerns the monies we make in this industry,
This is a business, and we rely on the people who hire us to perform our duties to be honest with us. To be fair with us. now I have Lately had my vehicles hired by a great individual who does what he says, and pays when he says in the manner he said off jump street. But I have also had my vehicles hired by individuals who have went totally against what I was told when my vehicles were hired, and some of these individuals who have proven to be a bit dishonest in their dealings Are in fact Pilot Car company owners. This leaves a bad taste to the company hired, one you have drivers to pay for the work they perform, they know you are not paid by the hiring company, but they still have to be paid, and you pay them, out of company funds, but then you have to wait on the company who hired your company to pay you, if they do.
Just because a company hires you to do a good job, and you and your employees do a good job as expected, does not mean, that anyone has the right to short you, or slow walk you on your pay.
When you get hired you have the right and the expectation of being fairly compensated, and timely compensated for your experience and professionalism in your trade. To do otherwise is not right nor should it be allowed. so if a company takes and hires you, then you. Have the right to tell them your price, and the time frame for your payment, if they tell you they will pay in a certain time frame, and they don’t, then charge them extra for every day they are late, it’s fair for us to do so, since your fulfilled your obligation to the job, but they failed to fulfill their obligation To you the Pilot in making sure they paid timely and fairly for your work.

Lately It has come to this sites attention that there are some who are brokering that are not being up front with the Pilots That they are hiring, these individuals are being paid more for the services the Pilots are doing, but the broker is saying they are only getting so much from the companies. Look I understand that everyone is in business to make a dollar, but be honest with the people you are hiring, let the Pilot know that you are keeping so much out of this option, and don’t tell the Pilot that the company is only paying so much, and then later it come out that the company was actually paying more, and the broker kept the extra, plus the percentage agreed upon. We all are doing this to make a living, but honesty has its own rewards.
There are jobs out here for everyone, we as Pilots have to work together to build each other up, not to tear each other down. I have a lot of respect for many of the companies that not only have vehicles out here making money, but also help other Pilots get runs, but my respect runs out when those companies take and screw the ones they hire that are not part of “their company”, They don’t think it will come to light, but it always does. Be straight up with the Pilots you engage, or they will be the ones getting the jobs in the long run, and you will be the one in the dark.
This site supports the unity aspect of Pilot Cars, and we will continue to support such, but if you are a company that is screwing the Pilots you hire, then In the future on this site, you will be named, and your shady dealings put up front for all the pilots to see, that way good Pilots can avoid your company like the plague.
