The strategy for drivers with those Eastern European companies that steal from drivers

How about just not working there at all?
Sounds like a better plan to me.

 

All these years I thought the whole idea behind have a job was to make money ..not spend it to get away from your job

 

Having money to get back home is called being prepared .
What if the truck breaks down ?
What if the company goes bankrupt and leaves drivers with no fuel card ?

 

I don't disagree with that ..just like you said it's called being prepared
But the way I read the OP was when you start at job at 1 of those places
Like someone else posted .. why even go for a job..That was my thinking also

 

Unfortunately they also hire from the bottom of the barrel with all the idiocy their drivers constantly exhibit.

 

sucker born every minute.

What is the issue?

If Barnum does it, its ok, but if a foreigner does it, its not? Eastern Europeans didnt invent the game. They just really good at it.

 

I am smarter and can run harder then the ones who failed mentality

 

These Eastern European companies are bad apples, it's hard enough just trying to understand them on the phone, I just departed from one about 2 weeks ago because they promised me I could run the areas that I like and come to find out they want to put me in an area I absolutely hate which is the Northeast, they promised me I could be home every other weekend, then boldly asked me on day one if I can run 800 miles a day and go home maybe once a month (lol) everything they promised me while I was at home seemed good until I got in the truck, then it's a whole different ball game everything that they promised you is out the window
