If any of you are thinking about going to Gainey I strongly advice you not to,unless u wanna drive and not get paid for all the trips you do.Heres what happened to me.First off they charged me with a road service call.They took $440.00 out of my check to pay for their repair bill.Gainey does not pay for all tolls even if your logs match,they do not pay for all the loads u weigh.Ater I quit Gainey is when I relized they have'nt been paying me for all the trips i do.They didnt pay me for at least 1 trip a week maybe more.In the course of the 7 months i drove for them, thats alot of trips I didnt get paid for.See u can look at the pay on the qualcomm but thats all it has is the pay.It doesnt say the reimbursements or trips.Gainey knows theyre stealing from the drivers so they have it set up that way so the drivers cant see how much money Gainey has stolen from them till they get home and look at the check stubs.If the DOT gives Gainey a ticket.u the driver has to pay for it.A driver had to go to Manhatton ,an officer gave gainey a $1200.00 ticket but the driver had to pay for it.they gave me a 75.00 ticket to give to gainey and i had to pay for it. if u have a breakdown other then the terminal chances r you get stuck with the bill even if it isnt your fault bcause as gainey sees it,the driver is always at fault no matter what.Gainey has got bad equipment and dont want to get anything fixed unless its done at a terminal.because Gainey charged me to fix their trk im now sueing them and when ever i go past a weigh station in a semi or car,i am stopping and asking them to pull every Gainey in for a full DOT inspection and asking them to contact every DOT nationwide.Also Gainey did not give me a final check.they said he wanted to wait to make sure i return the trk and ill get the check next week so here it is a week later and no check.so im sueing gainey for the 440.00 for no check and for all the trips they didnt pay me.Im hoping all you that is reading this will spread the word and please reconsider going to Gainey.No driver should have to go thru what I went thru.Gainey is making money otherwise he wouldnt be in the trucking business,so then why steal from the company drivers to support his trucks,his selfish self and those idiots in the corporate offices.did i mention if u idle your truck and its above 30% Gainey will charge you for that extra fuel used.but knowing them theyll charge u with a full tank.they dont care if youre in the blazing heat over 100 degree temps dont idle no matter what theyll fire u after a couple warnings what theyll tell u is buy a fan.I have drove for many companies,but Gainey by far is THE WORSE COM[PANY I HAVE EVER DROVE FOR and i wouldnt wish this company on my worst enemy not to mention the disrespect u get.Please help me spread the word on how bad this company is.make copies of this and give them to every trk driver u see. thank u and happy travels to u all

Good Luck be Safe and Welcome to the Forum

Just curious. You say you drove for many companies yet you only list three years experience. Just how many companies have you driven for in three years?

I was asked how many companies have I drove for in the 3 yrs of driving , I drove for 7 companies 4 while i was in training and once i got qualified I drove for 3 companies.werner 2 yrs cfi 4 months and then went back to werner because I missed my dispatcher. If gainey wouldnt have wrongfully taken money out of my check id still be there.but i wont drive for a company and not get paid for all the trps i do,not get paid for all my tolls and i wont pay for their trk repairs.i was getting the miles and i should have taken home over 800.00 a week but because they didnt pay me for all the miles i drove most my checks were under 400.00 and i never made a check over 600.00. Folks if this happened to me itll happen to u.u may start gainey and say this isnt a bad company but when u start seeing your checks and the miles u drive dont add up to your checks youll be a little bit angry. if you dont believe what im saying just ask another Gainey driver.

It looks like you were smart enough to keep records and hopefully you can get the money owed you. I always called my wife after my settlement sheet arrived and went through things at that point. Once in awhile a trip was missed. Sometimes they missed a reimbursement or two. I would get that info to my DM and was paid the next week. Of course, I wasn't driving for Gainey, I was driving for Swift. Hope it works out.

They have been calling me every day almost waiting for me to start with them no or yes??

This is a ironic situation. When I was with Werner I got a ticket made out to Werner Enterprise. They fought me for month wanting me to pay for the ticket. I told them my name is not on the ticket and it would be an easy day in court for me, if it came to that. I finally had to ask were they wanted their truck parked before I quit. They sent me a check the next day.

How could you miss them paying for runs every month for 7 months? I don't buy this whole story.

There is ALWAYS more to the story.
Pat: Dont you keep track of your trips on pen and paper? MT miles and LDD miles for each trip? When you bring up your pay data over the QC, didnt you notice there was a trip missing? Why did it take you 7 months to notice this? Do you keep track of your expenses for each trip? Tolls, weight, ect. Do you call payroll and ask how much taxes was taken out of your weekly check?
