    I'm thinking he's a Melton driver. He got screwed no matter what. Why was it repowered?

    The other driver could not be there on time. He was still in another city. Since I was close (but flagged to go elsewhere for bunk heater repairs), I was assigned this load. But just to secure, tarp, and drive 1 mile. So no real pay. Just a full day of BS. I understand some amount of unpaid work like securement, but this was just manipulating that policy.

    Now before the company snitches ease drop and report my violation of the “social media policy” (yes that’s right), please no asking me to name my company in this rant. I still like it there. :) Thanks.

    At least at System transport they're supposed to pay you 20 bucks to tarp that load and then $12 or $14 (forgot exactly) per hour for hourly work.

    You may want to delete some of your old posts? Or maybe you messaged me? I can't remember. Hell I can't remember what I did for work yesterday most of the time. It keeps things fresh, so that's a good thing.

    Or just delete this one. :) ..Or maybe not. If some internet policy sleuth gets mad at me for writing 99 positive things but 1 critical (yet honest) thing, well... so be it.
     
    Oxbow, Dan.S and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Well your real name is not on here so you should be ok. You are part of a bigger carrier.

    Sometimes you gotta pry money out of these places. We did a load one time, fiddled around a half a day for a load that went about 20 miles. I sent em a message asking about pay on this load. They said Oh you get "local pay" for that, which was about 50 bucks, I cant remmeber. If I handnt said something, we would have gotten stiffed.
     
    Tb0n3, Oldironfan and IluvCATS Thank this.
