CRINY, is that the company up in Kinderhook, NY?
Yeah, you are So right! Wow.. Some of their dispatchers can be so rude it is incredible!
Never mind warning people about not taking insurance shops.. warn them about taking a shop in the winter season, if your area is in a place where they get SNOWSTORMS! They will literally put your very life in danger, by insisting you stay at a place and FINISH the shop, even though you may well end up having to drive thru a bad SNOWSTORM up a bad windy mountain road!!
If you do not do the job, or you cannot complete the shop, or check, then they will not only NOT pay you, after you worked for the entire day, and paid out a bunch of your OWN money to do the check, but they will kick you out of their system, rendering you unable to work for them again EVER!
Even if you have worked for them for years.
CRINY, is NOT a good place to work, if you get the wrong dispatcher, that is for sure!
You know.. now i really see why is it so hard for some of these companies to keep shoppers, if they are being mistreated. That makes so much sense..
Course you do not know.. unless someone is BRAVE enough on this forum and come out and say so.. And YES, I WILL say BRAVE cuz dee shops herself was bashing me on one of MY threads I started for complaining about CRI also!

Well, dee shops. now i understand why you are going on people;s thread and start picking on them, like you did to me, for asking for where one can find jobs!
You got LOTS Of places you can work! That is not true of everywhere in the mainland however.
I lived in Hawaii for a long time. Not everyone is STUPID and cannot write well like you claim.. Isn;t Punahou school there. that is a private school and well thought of...
