I was a Driver for the Blackwell division of Combined Transport, during my time there I witenessed several alarming idications this company is being run as a full blown cult in the very messure as you would expect as nothing less than classic "mental, emotional, abuse". I knew in the first week of my employment the GM Tony Keller is clearly the mastermind behind his "unholy endeavor to "save people" was not in any way the workings of a "properly and professionally" operating trucking company. I have heard him speak in his "roundtable/brainwashing" meetings for which he has every Wenesday night and Saturday morings to drill into by "preaching" he is there for you as the "customer" he will help you with any problem or dispute you may have, he was clear when he said "you can call me dad". ( FB- Combined TransportLogistics Group, Inc) Tony Keller also has his office help attend to these meetings to provide the "false facade" everyone who works there is completly at the "customers" service.
Here is how it really is.. Tony Keller believes he is "saving people" he is very open and clear on the facts he knows "NOTHING" of trucks, or trucking companies, he has never worked for any before, however, this is his "MINISTRY". He welcomes you to "The Family". However he will go out of his way to "EXCOMMUNICATE/TERMINATE" you without ever conducting any investigation or holding any meeting for which he makes the promise to do if you the "customer" have formally requested. If you have somehow shown this man you are a threat or not willing to be a full member of "the family" you are ignored and removed immediatly with no futher due. In my case I was terminated on a Saturday afternoon, and informed on the following Monday I was deemed "not" Combined Transport "material". I asked what I had done and from there Melissa Dockery told me I had "excessive complaints from a mechanic in their shop "Chris" who had made the claim I was calling him and engaging in "sexual advances in the converstations. I sent an email to Tony Keller expressing my great need to have this investigated. I requsted the proof and the reason behind this mans claims. I was ignored and this was reported on my work record, Heide VanDyke went onto add "theft and deception" without showing or proving what and where she obtained this information to support her claimes of steeling and lying, Kandie Spencer who runs the shop for Combined Transport created a story of a conversation that NEVER took place between she and I, this was followed by Rhonda Krasznavolgyi "lead dispatch who added "spreading rumors". I never seen anything like this before in my 30 years of working in the industry. It is my legal right under any "sexual harrasment charge to be properly investigated and allow me the right to clear my name. Instead this company will make it virtually impossible to be hired any where after you have been "REMOVED" from "the family."
This is apperantly routine for this company, 3 weeks later another female driver was terminated and the "sexual advances" claim was used as well with one little twist, she could return after 90 days once she learned her lesson. She never did anything either. Tony Keller is under the impression he is above everyone including the laws of this country for which are in place to protect us from people like him, and his "true followers". He has also decided to "invent a new PTSD called "driver abuse syndrom". Who is he kidding? this is clearly a tactic to recruit new "customers". What I seen was profound given the fact most of the "customers" are people who are not hireable or high risk with most trucking companies. I personally have evidence to support this and to make matters more interesting, this particular "driver/customer" has a DUI on his record from driving a truck after leaving a bar. I have a voice mail from him and he is clearly intoxicated, and sitting behind the wheel of a Blackwell truck, he has sent me text messages admitting to being "hammerd". Tony Keller is aware of this "customer" instead of helping him and getting this man in detox, Tony Keller keeps him behind the wheel.
Tony Keller is specific on the "type of people he wants in his family. People he can control, people he "saved". For a mere 35 cents a mile you can almost rest asure you will either be greatful for the "invitation" to be a part of the family or for 35 cents a mile you are treated farless than what you are truly worth. To sit back and see how Tony Keller truly is, is simple, Call him "Dad", Jim Jones said the same thing. "the Family", Charles Manson had one as well. This not a trucking company!!!!!!
What makes it jarring is it owned by Mike Card.. This owner has either allowed his GM to run his family name in the ground and clearly has no RESPECT for his drivers past and present. OR, he is completly unaware of the truth on just how excatly his company is being run. Trucking companies are not abusive. There is no such thing as Driver abuse syndrom. If at all possible avoid employment with Combined Transport until Tony Keller is removed along with his loyal followers. Trucking compainies across this country follow Mike Card, so how could they ever think to trust Mike Card when he has this going on as well allowing Tony Keller to call his fellow trucking companies abusers. Tony Keller is a full blown narcissitic psychopath. Tony Keller's "close personal friend" Ward Eister, has called him the "Anitchrist". I never conducted myself in any misconduct for which I was accused of, I live my life in my daughter eyes, it matters to me what she sees. I personally believe Tony Keller has Mike Card distracted with projects of building a gated community/compound, that Mike Card is not entirly aware of how excatly Tony Keller is running his company. I also believe Mike Card is unware of who excatly Tony Keller is, let alone what he is...
