KLLM Lumber Pay problem

I think you mean LUMPER pay. You better change that before everybody gets here.

 

I never had any problems with being reimbursed for lumper pay, CAT scales, etc. I had a pretty decent filing system when I drove for them - I bought one of those soft folders with different filing pockets, similar to THIS, and would keep each weeks bills, receipts, etc all paperclipped to the same cover sheet with the PO#'s. Each week the pay settlements came in, I'd check off which PO's were paid, and if one wasn't I'd be on the horn with Payroll/Billing/Dispatch immediately. As long as you keep up with that stuff and don't get pissy with payroll/billing on the phone if one isn't paid, there shouldn't be a problem with it. Just keep track of your bills/receipts/po's for each trip, and take the extra 5 minutes to verify your po's with what comes over the qualcomm for each paycheck.

The most important thing to getting reimbursements is to submit PO requests after every trip while YOUR DISPATCHER (not overnight or weekend because they are basically worthless) is on duty, otherwise it won't get taken care of. Also, set aside a day to where you routinely stop to make sure your paperwork is in order and submitted to payroll - I usually did mind on Sunday mornings since our paperwork was due Monday night, gave me time to find stuff that I hadn't submitted and find a Lowes/Pilot on the route to pull into, or write a postit down to put on my dash that I needed to submit for a PO first thing Monday morning. For the last couple of months I was always parked on Sundays anyway, so that made it convenient based on the idiots that didn't know how to keep me rolling.

It's up to you whether you want to be organized and keep track of everything, or if you want to blame everyone else and not get paid.

Southern Tire Mart bought out 95% of this company - and according to a few friends that I made while working there, that is when the bottom started to fall out and a lot of the old timers started leaving. As I said in other posts, look at how few Million Milers are left.

 

I had issues with this. I finally started making them give me express codes for a ComChek to pay for lumpers. That way it bypasses your pay completely and is paid for by the company directly.

I've been with KLLM for a year.I've never had a problem getting reimbursements for lumpers or anything else.If somebody is,they are doing something wrong.

 

Get authorization for the lumper fee from dispatch after hours,from John Cruz in OECD (outside expense control), pay for it with a com check that you register, send in Mac 56 for the expense make certin that the following info is on the receipt: name, address, telephone number, and tax ID number..scan it in ASAP. To be paid on Friday it has to be scanned in before midnight central time Monday
