    Not very good. Should be closer to $165,000. and the warranty is no longer valid even though the trucks are unused.

    Hi All, I am the wife of a 25 year trucker and have started helping truckers in Ontario recover money owed to them from these bad companies.

    I was tired of seeing my husband get burned over and over again. I took charge and went to the Federal Labour Board and got the money owed.

    Don't let these companies get away with any amount! Perhaps if more truckers took to going after these companies, these companies might realize the costs of having the government on their case and in some cases seizing their business accounts to recover money for its drivers (including past drivers) is not worth the headache and they may start abiding by the laws set out in the Canada Code!

    Well said. I amazes me how drivers continue to bend over and take the crap these companies make them do.

    Highland Transport. A buddy of mine worked for them. Picked up a loaded van, brought to customer to find out the whole load is shifted. Called dispatch. They told him to hand bomb everything. He refused. They said literally - to leave the truck at customer, take his #### out of truck and go home. 6 months passed he still fighting for his last pay check. All these russian outfits hold 1 month pay. So they owe him close to 5 grand. Advise for everybody here - NEVER EVER work for russian or any eastern european trucking company. They will screw you
