    Never been down that road. Can't say I can relate to it.
    The reason they might request a return to work statement, when you see chiropractor is partly from you having to leave truck and get your back adjusted.
    Interesting story. Most of it seems common among all large companies, from what I read here.
    I would pursue coming to an agreement with the collection agency. They won't stop trying to collect and they will garnish your wages.
    Good luck in your next chapter.

    They said that my medical history changed when I went to the chiropractor. Which is BS because when I was seen by the chiropractor, I was going for maintenance and wellness. A chiropractor has no way to prescribe anything, do surgery, or anything else of the sort. It's like being seen by a chiropractor was going to hinder my ability to safely operate a CMV. They hop up and down on your back and send ya out the door. The safety department tried telling me that they're a Doctor. A Chiropractor is as much a doctor as a college professor that has his doctorate. It's ridiculous. I always wanted to take care of my chiropractor appointment on the weekend (on my normally scheduled day off), they just always had a problem with getting me home on time, and every, single, week, was a struggle just to make that happen.

    As far as the collections go, it has been 2 months, and I haven't heard anything yet. Ran my credit report too, and nothing there. They're wise to not pursue anything further.

    Well, one thing I left out as far as pay is concerned, I started out on their Dairyland route. It was the only route at the time that was 5 out 2 home. That worked perfect for me because I was just recently married. But still, being on that route, the options are VERY limited as far as mileage goes.

    To quote their site....

    They say $960/week.
    I'll be 100% honest with you, on average, I pulled in $400 checks. Average. My lowest was $360 for one week. The rest of the time, if I broke $500 it was an amazing week, and to celebrate, we could go get some McChickens from McDonald's as a celebratory dinner. The average mileage I would drive for the Dairyland route was about 1,000 - 1,200 miles, at .34 cpm. The pay has gone up since then, but this is what my family and I had to endure.

    I was with them a little under a year, and made 28k for the year.
    50 grand my ###.

    Smdh. Reading through your diatribe on Rohle I am left with the impression that you are an argumentative employee whom looks for all the angles to prove you are never wrong. As a new driver your attitude should be a yes sir I can get the job done and make no waves. Heck, you didn't even complete your promised miles and felt you should've been issued a spanking new truck. In conclusion, pull your manties up, shut up, and get the job done or go home.

    Quite the contrary sir, I was not an argumentative employee. I was always respectful to them, and did what I was told. I never wanted to make waves until they started in with all the camera crap, and everything in between and then made it where I had to take a stand for myself.

    I would've been more than happy to officially complete my obligated miles, but they ended that for me before I could...of course you would know that if you were able to comprehend what I wrote.

    This driver right here... this guy is why megas think they can get away with what they do. "You better just be happy you have a job, forget how good it is!"

    To OP, great write up. Really wish more folks would take the time to actually document their complaints like this rather than the 75%+ of crap that is just thrown at the proverbial wall here to see if it sticks.
