thanks! i only drove for this guy for three wks with no problems. i got two checks last fri. i took the checks to his branch and was told the fund was unavalible. now he wont answer my calls.
I don't think FedEx has a standing is this but maybe they should be aware that an owner is passing bad checks to drivers. I would be looking into what legal action I could take against this guy. I would also be looking into criminal action, passing bad checks. Good luck.
They are not all like that. I would guess that most are not. There are an equal amount of bad drivers out there that do "bad things" to owners too. There is a general lack of honesty anymore. What a shame. Layoutshooter
Having the guy arrested on a bad check should be done as a last resort, but if you do take that route and after you press charges do not for any reason drop the charges. Even if he pays you in full never drop them. In Ohio if you drop the charges you are guilty of compounding a felony.
My boss once did that in Fairborn, Ohio and the Judge became so hot my boss almost ended up in jail himself. If the man pays you off before court, just let the prosicutor know that you have been paid and no longer are interested in the case. The prosicutor will probably drop the charges and that lets you off the hook.
Most Sheriff's offices have a bad check squad and they will usually call the person who wrote the check and try to get it paid. In almost all cases, a call from the Sheriff will get you the cash.
No, not really ..... because at the point they do. they are no longer "good, down to earth decent people" ....... just dishonest predators ....Look, even good "down to earth decent people" can do things that are dishonest and predatory.
