Call the US labor board.

Go to your local state labor board office and file something called a 'wage claim'. I've done that twice in the past and have won both times. If your state is like Utah, you'll meet with someone from your former company face-to-face at the board office with a state labor representative present. The rep will hear both sides of the story, and will decide the case based on the info both sides provide. If withholding someone's pay for no good reason is illegal, your case will be a slam dunk. If they are holding it because of some form you signed when you hired on that allows them to do that and they have a reason to do it, you may be SOL. This is where your pictures and sign-off sheet come in. You DID take pictures and had someone from the company inspect the truck and sign off on it (remember the inspection form) just before you turned in the keys, right? One guy posting here recently didn't take pictures, didn't get the official to sign the inspection form, and his outfit (England) busted him for $4500+ in damages and other claims after he turned in the truck. England busted him because they knew they could.

By the way--don't be surprised if your opposition, if they show up at the hearing, tries to sweet-talk you into taking less than what you have coming to you. Don't fall for it. Get every penny they owe you. Company insiders can tell some hum-dinger sob stories about how plaintiffs are the devil incarnate at these hearings.

It should take about ten days for the rep to decide your case, and another week or so to get your mulla, IF you win.

Yeah I drive a Swift truck
And that means one thing
It means she's slow
It's a typical company truck
It's just all show and no go

I'm gettin' passed by Yella
And even Overnite
I'm gettin' passed by ever' body in sight
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight

No, my hometown's nowhere in sight
And if you think I'm pissed off
You're right
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight


Love pissing off those trucking company insiders.

In the future, if you get in a truck that stinks, don't take it out of the yard, I did that one time and I will never do it again.
