    I need your advise Drivers! This is about my former employer as a contractor!!!

    Ok, I signed a contract as an Independent Contractor DRIVING THEIR LEASED TRUCK(NOT LEASED TO ME BUT FROM A LEASE COMPANY TO THEM) So I was sent home for my home time after being a month out and a month with this company, I was given an ultimatum, "No more demanding emails, (nothing more then "can we pick up the pace? This slow go is killing my send home money) no more demands on where you go (we run slow and so like it or leave it) , "Or While you are on home time you can call dispatch and ask them where they want me to return the truck",
    I called dispatch and I took the truck to where I was directed, they came and got the truck and now in my final settlement they have sent me among other things a CHARGE for there expense to come and get the truck after they told me that I could finish my stay with them while I am at home if I didn't want to continue in the way they decided to run me or not.

    They would put me on a 2 day run and when I got that completed they would make me sit till they got another brokered load for cheap!! was available to run another 2 days and then sit for at least 24-36 hours for them to find another load

    There is no way they are going to be able to survive running a leased truck(AGAIN NOT MY LEASE BUT THEIRS) like this, But what is my recourse?
    They also sent me a notification of "No Trespassing" Which Ha I wouldn't go to the place of residence or place of their offices, but they seem pretty good at sending these things out, they must do it all of the time.
    They told me in a conversation that they had to go get a truck from a driver that was "stealing" from them, well they were stealing from me??? They also told me that I did not have access to my file or anything I had signed with them. Please don't flame me for anything I may have done wrong, I want to know what my rights are to get my money back, since they said I could or were aloud to turn my truck in where I was! Thank You in advance.

    I don't quite understand what is going on. Maybe if you would spell out each problem separate, we could understand a little better. If the company deducted anything from your wages that you did not sign an authoritzation for, then you have a legal case. It really sounds like you need to seek some legal advice.

    If you made logical sentences that people could follow you would get the advice you are looking for.......regretfully your original post reads as giberish.

    Agreed. Employers tend to prefer employees that exhibit solid written communication skills over those that don't. Perhaps the best course of action is that you consider this as a learning experience and move on. Time wasted pursuing the company for justice is time that would be better spent building your reputation as a driver elsewhere.

    most dont reply, because this is an on-going question, By what you posted, you where demanding where and when you wanted to go, Maybe you did?, Maybe you didnt?, but the company felt you where, You posted you where a contractor, some companies will call you that, but If you leased the truck, You should have read the contract in full, As a LEASE op., not an O/O, You have no control over the truck, If you have un-paid miles you are suppose to be paid for, look on the web page for your state about un-paid wages and how to get paid, but, all companies that lease trucks?, if they have to come and get the truck they will charge you and that will be in the contract, didnt you recieve a copy of your contract?

    Your recourse is to forget about that company and any money you think they owe you and find another job. You will be wasting your time pursuing them.

    Read it and put the punctuation in where you need it to be! I tried to redo it so it isn't such a run on.
