Company wants me to take a pay decrease

Id bet its company wide. Its a broker company so they get those desperate fools to pull it for $1/mile, why keep you guys around at $.68 and only leave $.32 for the truck? Makes them more money to make the drivers quit, sell off the truck before the prices go down, then just pull the "thats all ive got in it" scam and find a sucker to pull it for cheaper.

 

WTF is this BS?!?!?
Seriously,has your employer lost their d a m n minds??
Something is seriously screwed up if they’re planning to DECREASE PAY!

I don’t even think Celadon did that before they went belly up!!

I actually did a double take looking at that!

 

So I did a little Google-## and found that there are two pay structures at KamWay. One is with benefits the other is without benefits. For a starting driver with is $0.56cpm and without is $0.61 which coincides with your cutoff picture.

From your cutoff picture and following text I’m going to assume you get benefits and were properly told about the change and are now trolling.

As I am actively looking for a new company I am finding this pay structure more and more in the left three states. The politics have driven companies to shed costs and what better way is there than to pay the employees less while claiming you had a choice on more pay or medical for you and your family.

Be thankful you are not in Oregon. They now require everyone to pay 1% of their paychecks to the state to pay for their coworkers 12 week PAID maternity leave.

 

Perfectly legal, don’t like it, don’t sign it and move on, but be aware more companies will have to resort to this to stay in business.

I knew when companies started raising company driver pay through the roof during the pandemic, they would have to pay the piper down the road when rates normalized.

 

It’s absolutely legal, but sure wouldn’t make me feel very confident about the future viability of the company. Cutting pay is a panic move…

 

This is a bad sign, time to plan your exit.

Saw multiple reports of trucking companies shutting down/not paying drivers etc recently, if there was a sign yours could be next this is it.

 

Say I'm not signing anything until I see signed contracts of my dispatcher and CEO of company getting pay cuts!!!
