I worked for Freightstar, about a month. My last load I hauled had 4 stops. I got to the first stop and the company rejected 4 pallets out of 10. The broker along with the dispatcher had me to take the 4 pallets along with the 3 other stops back to shipper in Wisconsin. I got back and the shipper removed everything , put the freight back into cold storage. They restacked the 4 pallets and took out about 10 cases if that many. Gave me paperwork showing everything was OK. A week later on my pay statement the owner at Freightstar charged me my whole paycheck , $2500.00 saying driver fault, damage load. And when I tried talking to dispatcher, and owner, they refuse to answer my calls. The owner won't call me about my money and dispatcher won't take my calls. EVERYBODY AT THIS COMPANY AVOIDS MY CALLS NOW. And broker and shipper says there is no claim on load. So they just figured that was a way to steal from the driver.

Whow, sounds like this crap company I'm leaving. Super Shady!..
Not much can you do when someone elsw controls your money?
I'd suggest looking elsewhere for another carier. In the future, Document everything beginning to the end. Unfortunately in this case it didn't happen. -
Hmm... imagine that. Let's count the flags here:
Chicago
Bulgarian/Macedonian Owned
1099
Did I miss any? No mention of "escrow," but I'm sure an upstanding organizations such as this wouldn't pull that stunt, right? -
Hmmm a lot of holes here....I wonder how they came to the conclusion of damaged load.
Lonesome Thanks this. -
man i worked there for almost 2 years doind dedicated florida runs, i never had any issues, only till the dedicated accounts got lost.
biggest issue was they were 1099 at the time i was there but oh well -
Sounds like you rolled the 1099 dice and came up snakeyes.
