Beware why? I mean you guys act like you're not being butt raped by these other outfits that you would beware of russian companies out of chicago. One way or another everyone gets raped because it is a capitalist system. The only difference is some companies will give you a little more pay for raping you than most will. Other than that its all the same lol.

Here's the difference between working for (insert mega bottom feeder here) VS working for these immigrant outfits around Chicago and California. At the mega's you might be treated like a number but at least they usually pay you on time and accurately and you are an employee so you have some legal leverage if you feel you were shafted. With these fly by night outfits you're a 1099 "sub contractor," you have no benefits, they pay if they feel like it, they pressure you to run illegally. If they don't feel like paying you there is not much you can do since according to them you were never an employee to begin with. They play by a different set of rules. Like for example they book team freight from a broker and expect the solo driver to run it. Not saying they all screw drivers but it is driver beware when even considering driving for one of them.8thnote Thanks this. -

you may be a shill, but your post sounds more credible to me than the first one
YES, i know there are "russian companies" that run wild
but the first guy knew what he was getting into and now he wants to turn states evidence
no one respects a ratpicaso Thanks this. -
Anyone notice that the "supposed " team load went from 770 miles to 850 miles? That just makes me wonder how much truth there is in OP's first post. Also changed story on 4,000 miles a week,at first it was he knew it wasn't possible . Then it was well I was a new driver and thought it might be difficult.

truckermetz and EZX1100 Thank this.

I work for ProSport, and I have never once been asked to run illegally. Furthermore, I have refused loads that would have required me to run through the night, because I simply can't stay awake through the night.
I have had nothing but good income, and respect, working for this company.Last edited by a moderator: Mar 16, 2014

You also know very little about labor laws if you think that being a contractor in any way precludes legal rights, or leverage. I have never had any benefits in trucking that I didn't pay completely for. The only difference now is that I have to obtain my coverage on my own, rather than through the company.
You don't seem very well informed about this company. You likely have no experience other than working for the mega corporate carriers. -
I tend to believe the first poster even if he is a newbie.metallifreak10, Nimrod, Shade_Tree and 2 others Thank this.
