I worked for platinum logistics in 2016. They pulled that escrow deduction and workman’s comp deduction on me. After a few weeks I questioned them and they eventually stopped deducting the money. I only worked for them for 4 months because they were a shifty company. I reported them to the Illinois department of labor. Believe it or not I won a judgement against them. Still waiting for the money though.

He pressures me to work out side the legal limit. Some work days add up to eighteen hours. Another scam was driving eight or nine hours to a pick up, waiting nine hours for loading then he expects me to turn around and head back. It made no difference to him that I got no rest while waiting. Day time it's hot and the shipper forbids idling. Night time there is calamity in the yard that makes sleep impossible.
Still another of his BS was sending me to the site in the middle of the night, get there at two AM for a seven am appointment then asking, no telling me to start back at noon. Ten hours off duty on the log but less than five hours sack time. -
Coercion occurs when a motor carrier, shipper, receiver, or transportation intermediary threatens to withhold work from, take employment action against, or punish a driver for refusing to operate in violation of certain provisions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs) and the Federal Motor Carrier Commercial Regulations (FMCCRs). Coercion may be found to have taken place even if a violation has not occurred. An example of coercion is when a motor carrier terminates a driver for refusing to accept a load that would require the driver to violate the hours of service requirements. The following must have occurred in order for coercion to have existed:
- A motor carrier, shipper, receiver, or transportation intermediary request a driver to perform a task that would result in the driver violating certain provisions of the FMCSRs, HMRs, or the FMCCRs;
- The driver informs the motor carrier, shipper, receiver, or transportation intermediary of the violation that would occur if the task is performed, such as driving over the hours of service limits or creating unsafe driving conditions; and
- The motor carrier shipper, receiver, or transportation intermediary make a threat or take action against the driver’s employment or work opportunities to get the driver to take the load despite the regulatory violation that would occur.
Filing a Coercion Complaint with FMCSA
The Coercion Rule takes effect on January 29, 2016, at that time the FMCSA will start accepting coercion complaints from drivers.
Coercion complaints must be filed within 90 days of the alleged coercion action.
When filing your complaint, please include as much supporting information as you have, such as:
- Text messages or email exchanges between parties showing coercion attempts by a motor carrier, shipper, receiver, or transportation intermediary, as well as your responses; and
- Names of anyone who may witnessed the coercion attempt.

I would have moved on with my life the minute I found out what their program was. There many many legitimate companies. Go work for one, ask questions before you take the job.
