One of their drivers has serious road rage issues. In a two lane passing zone, i proceeded to pass one of their trucks. I was past the second trailer, when driver turned on left hand signal. Then proceeded to turn into me. I was in the left lane, he was in the right. (There was a another car on the shoulder on the right. But in utah the shoulders are wide enough to accommodate this. This driver did not check the mirrors when making the left lane change. (In my opinion, company said he did via dash cam. So did he intentionally turn into me?)They proceeded to turn into me. Forcing me into oncoming traffic. I went around them an got over. They went back into right lane. I got over into right lane an slowed down. I wasn’t able to see any identification on the truck. So i was hoping they pass me an id get a look at it. Instead the driver proceeded to get as close to my bumper as possible an try an ram me. (In my opinion)Then the driver went around in the left lane. Then proceeded to come into my lane again. From left lane to right lane where i was. We are half on the shoulder an half in the lane at that point. Then truck went back into his lane an proceeded to pass. At which point I followed them an called the local police. Then followed them into lowes. Where i took pictures of his truck an him. Now if he would of just stopped at slowing down in the right lane i probably would of let things go. But it was because he proceeded to run me off the road a second time that i am following up on this now. I was traveling in my car with wife an 3 kids 14, 10, 4. He could of killed us pushing us into oncoming traffic the first time. An instead of realizing his mistake; he proceeded to try an kill us a second time. I myself drive a truck, so i now dam well he switched lanes without checking mirrors, or looking at them at all. (Same thing here in my opinion, company later told he did in dash cam. But yet it again then he would of seen me.) Cause if he had he would of seen us coming in the left lane. An then continuing on to pass him. Also he cut the turn going into lowes to sharp, almost took out the light pole. I understand making mistakes, but after the initial issue he proceeded to let his road rage take over an made a choice. An for all we know he choose to turn into me the first time as well. Given his repeated actions. Update**. So a rep did contact today regarding this. Which i do appreciate an they seem sincere in dealing with the matter. However what i gleamed from their drivers side of the story doesn’t sit right with me. In his version of the story he merely cut me off. So basically he lied to try an save his own arse basically; of course he would. They did verify there is dash cams in their trucks so events that happen in the future worth noting. I just wanted to clarify their driver did intentionally go into my lane an force me into oncoming traffic. (In my opinion)It feels to me while the company express remorse etc due to their driver; I feel the driver has zero remorse whatsoever.(in my opinion )I am still deciding if i want to pursue this further.

Oh K.

Many truck drivers put the lives of others on the road at high risks of death or serious injury by unsecured loads but not this company, they do a great job at making sure of proper securement of their loads! 5 stars for safety ! Takes a true professional & passionate operator to live by the these standards. Good job tramcor

We used Tramcor for their Forklift Service because we do not have a loading dock or a forklift.

In the past we have used other local carriers, but our material comes on 10' to 12' skids which are too long for most lift gates. It is also very difficult to get the skids onto the lift gate using a pallet jack because they weigh 500-1,500 pounds. The last delivery that we had from one of the other local carriers resulted in the skid falling off the lift gate from all the way up and it took us months to come to a resolution over the damage that was done to the material. It is not that the company was bad, it was that they did not have the equipment needed to deliver to our shop.

Yesterday we had our first delivery from Tramcor. The Operator parked in our lot in a way that was not blocking access for the other tenants in our building, which has been a problem, and worked very well with our receiving personnel, which also has been a problem. From the time the truck pulled up and had the skid delivered inside one of our bay doors was less than 10 minutes. This is significant because it has usually taken about 30 minutes and 4 men just to get the skid on the ground, and then we would have to break down the skid in the parking lot and hand carry all of the material into the back of the shop. This eliminated a lot of down time and now we will be able to schedule time to inventory the material that works better for our shop crew.

They also did not charge us an additional fee for paying with a purchase card, we like that.

We would recommend Tramcor to anyone who like us does not have a dock or a forklift and needs local deliveries. I have attached a couple pictures of our material delivered inside our door for reference

2/26/18 An update, we just had our second delivery, I didn't include a picture because it would be identical to our first ones. I worked with Josh and he already had all of my information ready from last time we used them.

All Jokes aside, the truck operator showed up while I was using the restroom, and was gone before I got out.

The report I was given from our staff was pretty much the same. The truck operator parked so that he wasn't blocking in all of our neighbors. Our manager in the back showed him where we wanted the bundle and he put it there, and quickly. The truck operator was polite, easy to work with, and didn't talk down to our staff.

Using Tramcor has changed the attitude of my staff when we have orders from this supplier. Most of them did not like it when we brought a shipment in to refill our inventory and understandably given our experience in the past from above and that most of the truckers were more megalomaniac than helpful.

These are just a few of the reasons my staff and I recommend Tramcor

GREAT CARRIER! Kathleen kept me updated every step of the way, and I received the BOL as soon as the load was delivered. Great people, great communication, no problems. We will be using them whenever we can!

I live by this scourge and their drivers do highly illegal things. I was almost side swiped by a driver pulling a double who illegally passed on the right shoulder under an overpass because he ran a red light and traffic was backed up. This isn't the first time this has happened and won't be the last. Would not recommend anyone use them ever.

License plate number Z0482Z6 was driving behind me about 10 minutes ago and wouldn't allow more than about 10 feet between us. Even driving between 30 and 35 mph, this idiot was so close, he had me nervous to stop at red lights.

I hope tramcor has the common sense to fire the driver for negligent and aggressive driving. Hopefully, tramcor will train their drivers better in the future.
