Hi all....... man this company is really going down the drain. Well Darryl calls last night to tell me that he won't be in til late tonight. He was getting unloaded in Waterloo, Iowa and he was supposed to be in Effingham, IL by 3pm...... well he didn't get unloaded til 1:45 or so and it's an hour and a half - two hour drive there, so he gets to sit all night....... oh what fun! NOT! So then this morning he gets up around 5am or so, kinda overslept, got to the place to get reloaded and no one is there! They don't show up til 8am and there is one truck on the dock, and one in front of him. So he ended up sitting about 15 hours or so......... Well with most trucking companies they pay you for sitting, well NOT this company! They consider you sitting as part of the job! NOT!!!! So when he talked to Warren today and asked him to be paid for the sitting, cause he ended up sitting last night, and he will sit tonight, Warren said " What, I consider that part of the job, and we don't have to pay you for that!" Needless to say Darryl was quite pissed off............ He has to sit tonight, because AWG wants the load delivered tomorrow morning at 5am so Darryl gets to sit over night yet again, and will they pay him, NO! He should get about $210.00 just for sitting! He is supposed to get paid $10.00 an hour that he sits, after 2 hours........ well that's about $130 or so.......... then sitting tonight depending on when he is gonna get to the yard and then over to AWG! So yeah I would be a little pissed off as well........ that is $210 that are not getting paid for him sitting and doing the job that he was hired to do. In the past they used to pay all the stuff that they don't anymore, yet they can take trips to Las Vegas anytime they feel like it, but they can't pay their drivers what they are supposed to be getting paid, and cut their per diem down to minimal, and not pay lay over, and I bet they won't be able to do Christmas Bonus, or even any of the other Holiday's that they should be getting! So along with them not being able to for parts for the trucks, or keeping up on the trailors or just the maintance on the trucks, much less a ticket, they have the driver's pay for their mistakes, and IT'S NOT RIGHT!!!!!!!!! I guess I am still frustrated at this company more then I thought, LOL.............. I have a reason to be, they are screwing us out of money that we should be getting, and we aren't! Well I hope that you have a great rest of the night, and a good Friday! Take care, Hugs
