Dillard Environmental Services / Trucking

This company is located in Byron,CA. They have had a Sexual Harassment claim which they paid $85,000.00 to settle because of the owners being involved.
And they do not pay you for all the work you do. Driver turn over rate is high. Because they run Interstate and fall under the Federal FLSA rule like any company that runs Interstate. Which means they can work you for up to 70 hours in a work week even if your not driving making money by the load or mile and not have to pay you for this time. A lot of trucking companies do this also. Before taking your next job ask the recruiter about the FLSA rule. And how much money you will lose running under that rule. They are not required by Federal law to pay you for down time under 70 hours in a work week. And if you do go over 70 hours in a work week they have to pay you Federal minimum wage or if your State has a higher wage they would pay that amount. A lot of drivers don't know this about the labor laws for trucking. Also make sure all company policys are in writing. If something happens and you have no proof of the policy you can lose wages on that also. This company Dillard Trucking has local drivers that get paid by the hour. And over the road drivers that get paid by the load. Now in the company manual it states everything for the local drivers. Such as over time paided by the company. Days off. They lay it out for the local drivers. Now for the over the road drivers nothing. It does not tell you that every week out you get 1 day off. or about the FLSA rule. What the company pays for when you break down or how many hours you have to wait loading or unloading before you get paid standby time. They do this for a reason to screw the driver and make more money for the company bottom line. So the next time you look for a driving job these are only a few things you should look for. A good trucking company has nothing to hide from their drivers. Every question should be answered by the person in charge of hiring. Remember something is wrong within the company if a recurter or dispatcher can't answer your question directly.
