NO Pay means PARK THE TRUCK! Don't drive for free anymore!

OK drivers it's time to take things into your own hands.

Arrow is the main reason along with several others as an example of why you need to stop driving for free! I'm talking paychecks that bounce or don't make it to your bank or card on time.

NO pay check on the day it's supposed to be there means somethings wrong in the office! If your paycheck isn't where it's supposed to be on the day and time you were told it's supposed to be there it's time to PARK THE TRUCK until it either appears in your checking account or is put on a Com Check, EFS, TCH or whatever you have. NOT a card! I know everyone of you have heard the joke "the checks in the mail!" If it isn't in CASH then you do not want it and you tell them so BUT be nice! Yep, Be COOL until they decide they aren't paying you so I'd hope you are full of fuel and just tell them OK. Say nothing else but head home! Screw the yard or shipper or receiver! Home James!

No pay on time means you are now working for FREE! Don't wind up like all those Arrow drivers working for free for several weeks and now they will never see the full pay owed to them!

If your company can not keep their accounts up to date and your check bounced give the company a choice. Pay me NOW with a check (cash) (NOT A COMPANY ACCOUNT CHECK) WITH the bounced check charges your bank charges you (this hopefully will teach said company to get a new accountant that can balance a checkbook) or I either park it where I sit or I head home on YOUR dime as, well, you didn't pay me so it really IS their dime! Load or no load! DO NOT BE BULLIED with a threat of "we'll fire you and charge you with all kinds of crap on your DAC!"

Just about everyone uses a cell and most of them have a record button on it. After sending in the quail comm message call that low life company on the cell and get it in their own voice so when you go for that next job well there's the proof that they weren't paying you. Also keep the bounced check notice from the bank or the insufficient charges slip that the fuel island will give you for added proof!Also keep every pay stub you get for your records!

Also get the phone numbers of at least 5 or more of your company drivers and if you do wind up with a bounced check or fuel card cut off when it "should" have your check on it then CALL your buddies let them know or ask if theirs is off, and they call their buddies until every driver has been notified or other information has been spread!

When the company realizes that they all of a sudden have no trucks moving with loads or under dispatch or moving in the wrong direction because they want to play free with YOUR pay then they will very quickly realize that doing whats RIGHT is the proper thing to do!

AS I said it's time all drivers stood up to these idiots that think holding your pay for an extra day or so. Pay day is pay day and not next week because "we're having problems." If they are having problems that should alert you to HEAD HOME before an Arrow happens to you!

If you go for 2 or more weeks driving for the company with no pay when you should have been paid then it's your fault!

If they can't pay then I'd give them a choice! Get me home or to the yard as you apparently are NOT doing very well and I (you) don't want to get Arrowed (New term we should start to use!) But as I said I'd head home unless your POV is at the yard

You can do this and if all of the drivers do this at the same time do you really think they'll fire everyone of you? I highly doubt it. If they do then they weren't worth driving for to begin with!

This is also a warning to watch your company. If it starts to do the same things Arrow or New Rising Fenix did like bouncing checks and no pay, cutting WAY back on maintenance especially on the road, fuel cards with no money for fuel, hard to reach on the phone, slow answers to messages sent and days sitting for loads, then you need to start to worry and maybe drop a lot of your stuff off at home and keep only enough to carry in one bag and hope you have enough money to pay a bus, plane or car rental home!

Do what you need to do to protect yourself and not that company!

Good luck
