Small claims or labor board?

Talk to a lawyer about the child support issues immediately. He can also help/refer you with the other matters better than any of us truck stop lawyers

 

my advice to you would be to take 2 aspirins and post in the morning.

 

You win in small claims you still may not collect,

 

I'm cringing reading some of this.

You should call the IRS regarding misclassification of your status. If you were an employee but your company tried to list you as a contractor, he is a tax cheat and you can get the exact details from them on how to proceed. You will probably also owe them money if he wasn't deducting it.

As for the rest...

1) unless it specified in your contract HOW the miles were to be calculated, you will be paid the same way he is paid (brokerage miles? Practical miles? Air miles) unless you got that in writing, you really have no claim to be paid for something he didn't agree to.

2) see above.

3) maybe, although most reasonable people would wonder why you didn't get the forms yourself? From their website? Call their office? Tell your employer you can't work without filling out proper tax forms? Be an adult.

4) Not required to feed you and unless you have an employee co tract stating terms for detention you have are not entitled to it. Generally there is a reason these contracts terms are written and not verbal.

5) see above. Unless our collect s meal allowance, you aren't entitled to have your meals paid. PS: Sometimes you sit for a few days waiting for a load - IT HAPPENS.

6) Wait, seriously? YOU have a court order to pay for YOUR kids and you think it might be HIS responsibility to make sure that happens? (???!!?) You could, ya know, voluntarily send them the money YOU OWE for their care.

7) see above. If you think he owes you money, that has NOTHING to do with you not paying your debtors. (In this case your children) Does your utility company care why the bill isn't paid? Can you skip rent because your pay was late or less than you thought? Sheeeeeeesh get another job!!!

I don't know the payday laws, but I'm sure you're entitled to your money and he will probably be fined for violating it (if he did) I doubt VERY much any court will make him pick up the tab for missed cat payments, rent payments, child support payments , etc etc since it's your responsibility to work and pay those. State assistance?? GET ANOTHER JOB!

 

and I highly commend you for being responsible. but frankly and in all seriousness, please speak with your attorney, and if need be, have that attorney recommend someone else, if he cannot help you.

we are not lawyers, but play one at the truck stop or on the CB radio, along with being former Navy Seals.

please refer to an experience attorney, as each persons situation can and will be so much different from yours.

I wish you well, and good luck.

 

As said, consult attorney.

 

You are entitled to claim per diem for everyday you were away from home. ( over 50$ per day refunded from taxes paid. What did you do on April 15th?
You stayed way to long but you know that now. Good luck,
