    Employer STEALS my last two checks. Who do I contact?

    Please advise this driver on which govt. agency he can contact to report an employer/contractor that he drove for and after quitting said contractor failed to pay this driver his last two weeks of work. In other words, he stole my money! Since I don't live in Michigan, where the contractor lives...

    Is TRI-STATE RUNNING or are they SITTING like MOST Carriers?

    My point exactly, if many of the company's operating today are only hiring people to work less than a 40 hour week just so they can avoid paying benefits then the least they can do is pay their workers not only a living wage but enough so that they may cover their own medical/dental/vision...

    Good call Mr. Dynamite, you read between the lines. Call it a mid-life crisis. On a more positive note, I finally learned my lesson, albeit the hard way. Still, I need those miles to drag my sorry *** out of the financial hole I dug for myself.

    Sorry Ontario, I don't have a wife to help me through the slow times and I can't go home and sit it out for two weeks like you are doing right now.

    Is TRI-STATE RUNNING or are they SITTING like MOST Carriers?

    Not my current carrier, they provide me with enough time. However, they can't seem to win a bid if their life depended on it. My previous carrier would send me from Laredo to Detroit and ask me to get the load to the consignee ASAP, without much more than a 4 hour space for sleep and refueling...

    Is TRI-STATE RUNNING or are they SITTING like MOST Carriers?

    I work for a fleet owner and the week before Christmas 2012 I earned $1,500.00 take home. Unfortunately, this has been the most I have ever made and it's been downhill ever since. In fact, I am now down to 1 load per week and I am starting to question my own sanity for hanging on as long as I...

    Thank you for sharing this information, it is quite helpful and lets me know not to turn in that direction. Mr. Xiggi shares the same knowledge in a connected thread so it must be valid.

    Is TRI-STATE RUNNING or are they SITTING like MOST Carriers?

    I drove a straight for a owner but found that without a partner we were sitting more often than not. If one does not have a partner who resides with them or relatively close by the situation generally does not work. The man I briefly partnered with wanted to go home every three weeks. Naturally...

    Loyalty? ROFLMAO! Loyalty you say? Will loyalty make your house payment? Will loyalty put food on your table or make your car payment? Will loyalty take care of your credit card payments or the monthly alarm system I must use to give me some semblence of security while I am away from my home...

    Freedom Is Not Free I watched the flag pass by one day. It fluttered in the breeze. A young Marine saluted it, and then he stood at ease. I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud, He'd stand out in any crowd. I thought how many men like him Had fallen through the years. How many...

    Is TRI-STATE RUNNING or are they SITTING like MOST Carriers?

    Oh please, you mean you have not driven all day and night for 24 to 28 hours straight, sometimes without rest, sometimes with only a 3-4 hour nap? Let's be real here, I'm talking about van & sprinter drivers, not straight truck drivers who have electronic and/or paper logs to deal with. Why do...

    A question for Load1....

    Load 1 Adminstration/Dispatch recently sent out a long and clearly worded directive explaining that they expect all of their drivers to use the QC and to quit calling dispatch to inquire about loads. "If we have a load we will contact you." In the past 12 days I have run one short load...
