Crappy health insurance which costs $120 or MORE per week with NO Vision. (They always blame Obama care)
You are NOT an employee driver, you are an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. No matter what the recruiter tells you, YOU ARE AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. sure you're not a 1099.... you're a K1. Which means you have to PAY $2,500 TO WORK THERE. Don't take my word for it you'll discover it on the last day of orientation. They make you sign a contract stating that you agree to pay them $2,500 total which you set up a payment plan that gets deducted from your check every week. They even video tape you reading a statement, saying you understand that you are NOT AN EMPLOYEE. THAT YOU DON'T HAVE WORKERS COMP and you are REQUIRED to pay for it yourself at $40 per week.
THEY TELL YOU that you'll get profits from the truck as a year end bonus. Which they never pay, because they claim you owe for damages to a truck or a trailer you picked up.
When you leave??? They keep any monies you paid to work there.
Don't take MY word for it, go to orientation. And watch them pull out the camera on your last day and film you reading a legal piece of paper.
I will never go back again.
WILD WEST EXPRESS??? INDEPENDENT contractors drivers.

---This is not true. Drivers may come on as a company driver or as an LLC Partner. It is entirely up to them. If you decline hiring on as a company driver and decide to join the company as an LLC partner rather than a company driver, you agree to put in up to $2500 dollars, in order to receive 25% of the profit at the end of the year when the books close. If you are fully vested and put in $2500 you WILL get it all back should you leave the compay. If you do not put in the $2500 you do not get back what you have put in, but you still get your portion of the profit sharing at the end of the year which varies upto the full 25%, depending on how much you invested. It is explained thoroughly multiple times throughout orientation so if a driver declines to be a company driver and chooses to be an LLC partner, we make sure the details are clear to the driver before they sign. If they say they understand and sign, we can't feel responsible for anything the driver didn't understand. It is VERY rare that a driver is unhappy with the LLC partnership. When they sign on, they are okay with the terms I just mentioned and they are usually super excited when they get their profit at the end of the year! Unhappy partners are usually someone who bounces from company to company and does not stay long enough to be fully vested... We try extremely hard to keep our drivers satisfied and knowledgeable about all details involving employment here.

Hmmm. ...
Damage control
....good luck with your program WWE
you've been placed on a nation wide driver's information board -
I wonder how many of his drivers have been there for ten years or longer? Expressed as a percentage it's a good way to judge a company.

If you can keep a driver 3 years he is willing to tolerate the job and the #'s look good but in my opinion driver should be compensated $20 per hour minimum for all loading/unloading and delays.
Driver retention does not appear to be a issue -
...imagine that -

Look, we know that you mean well and you're only doing what your employer needs you to do but you're insulting us.
Most of the people on TTR have been around trucking long enough to have already heard the things that you're saying and asking us to believe. We know a snow-job when we hear it and we're tired of it.
You're a recruiter. Your job is to fill seats. Don't come in here and start telling us that it's otherwise.
Give us the facts and let us make up our own minds. But don't be too dismayed if the majority of us, having been burned before, don't agree with you and call you out. -
truckerman75103 and bzinger Thank this.
