Toll Reimbursements

The dedicated that i was on isn't getting their trucks turned down. They pull too much weight. How's that one grab ya?

 

I guess dedicated are special....For the most part they sure act that way!! lol

 

Gee, wish I could've got that. They sat on our yard at Lowe's for 3 days catching every truck that came thru. I pull on average 52k. Hills just suck. Even the little ones around here.

 

Yeah, the only reason though is that these guys pull quads.. The average load is between 70k-90k, they couldn't pull the hills at 62 with a 13spd. Going up north here in Michigan in the winter was really fun on the unsalted roads, almost needed to chain a few times, LOL.

 

So do you all think that the tool reimbursement issues are "company issue" or are they a "department issue?"

There is a big difference and maybe someone above "reimbursements" should be notified.

 

I don't know what I'm doing different than most of you folks, but I've not had any real serious issues getting my toll reimbursements.

Well... other than the fact that it takes about 3 weeks for me to get MY money back, and I still don't like to lend them MY money to pay THEIR tolls. Making 3 week interest-free loans is NOT why I decided to try driving for a living.

That delay does tend to chafe my hind-quarters, because they have all the info needed (I send the bills, receipts, etc. asap), and they COULD make the reimbursements in a more timely manner if they were on top of things, and perhaps had a more caring attitude toward the drivers.

I always put my name, employee # & pro #, on EACH receipt. Fill out the bottom of the expense sheet, AND leave room to make notes in the main area of each sheet (as someone else said: in LARGE letters). I note the amount of advance, total of tolls, and do the math for them in this area. I also make sure to send everything for each trip at the same time, so as not to confusicate them.

Only once have I had to call to get a toll reimbursement. On this one they claimed to have never received the expense sheet/toll receipts. I doubt that claim, as they never fussed about not receiving the bills (all were sent in same TransFlo, and # of pages sent was correct), and I'm SURE I'd have heard about missing bills. I resent the whole package, including a copy of original TransFlo receipt. I received my reimbursement the very next payday.

I think they were just testing me, to see how well I kept up with things. If so, they picked the wrong fellow. I keep pretty decent records, and I watch my pay pretty close. If I find it short, I'll whine & cry, and bi!^# & moan, until I get what is due to me.

 

TMC drivers , you can now view the tolls that TMC are reimbursing you on your check info on the driver pay section on the driver connection. They are listing them by pro-number in the Reimbursements section on the 2nd page under the load detail about half way down the stub. This is the first week I have noticed this..Its about time!!

It should be much easier to keep track what they are paying us back on or what the total used off of a com-check now.

Wow, finally a positive change for the driver(not much but guess we have to take what we can get)....didn't see that coming!!

 

how convenient, I was about to do an audit to find out how much money they stole from me in the last 2 months. thanks for the tip.

not being sarcastic, seriously thanks.

counting the days!
