    I rolled 170,000 miles in 1 yr. (6 months team - the only time I got a paycheck) and only had 4 days off all year.

    Only got a $29 check after rolling 2900 miles in one week! I went nearly 6 weeks without a paycheck (I got $100 draw for food)

    Had to pay them to haul their freight, 14 cpm at first, as a "Level 3 Pro" I worked it down to 10 cpm

    Mormon owned, thieves - owners kids have 7-9 million dollar homes!

    Trucks are nice, refers are maintained but I never worked so hard for so little!

    I turned my truck in with new tires and clean - yet they still stole over $3,000 from my maintenance account which had $6,000 in it.

    Had to team and change dispatchers to get more miles

    Stay away!!!

    That's what happens when you don't do a complete research on a company before applying.

    That could have been us a year ago if my hubby had been a stubborn-cuss and gotten his way.

    They charged YOU .14cpm for the use of their trailers and dispatchers???
    I learn something new everyday on TTR.

    Not to rub salt in your wounds, but how bad off are you with Fed Taxes, if you don't mind sharing a range?

    If they are paying you $1.00 a mile before fuel surcharge, then backcharging you for $0.14 your true rate is in the $0.86 cents per mile range. Your truck probably costs about $1.00 per mile to operate so you can see it was taking all of your fuel surcharge to pay the fuel and some of the linehaul to pay the fuel and overhead leaving you with almost nothing.

    They didn't steal anything. You signed the contract. Bet you'll read that stuff next time, won't you.....

    Grandma would say taking advantage of someone and taking money from them is stealing.

    While I totally agree with you, the fact is that when you have a contract in front of you, read it. The first order of any businessman is to automatically assume that the other is trying to #### him out of his money and vice-versa. And in this case that's exactly what they did. I hate CRE with a passion, I would never work there, even when I was new in trucking I read their deal and even then I knew it was bad. But a contract is a contract and once you sign it, you've agreed to their terms. Now to the part of the OP and working a year with no pay, that's just insanity.
