    Manager called, they have local rules that if you go into Amazon facility with street DOT you pay fine 10000$. But they didn’t count human factors, believe sometimes after long way I forget everything, and here we have to put 2 times and put back 2 times street dot. So that time I really forget and go into with street dot. So now I have pay fine 10000$ for my mistake. My question is can they fine drivers like that because last time I had violation and officer put oos, fail was on trailer of Amazon and company charged from me 1150$ for it. Is it legal? A lot of drivers work on this company and agree with it

    They can do whatever you agreed to in the contract you signed to go to work there. If you’re not trolling you’ve already been given steps to take to rectify your situation.

    Did you understand what everyone is telling you about how you should be on a W2 instead of the 1099, because you are an employee but 1099s are for contractors? None of what they are doing is legal. Tell them to Goeth Intercourse Thyself.

    Don’t block them and don’t respond. Keep all texts phone calls and emails as evidence…just in case.

    Six back quiet.

    Again; ignore what the company told you and don't sign for registered mail. Don't talk to anyone on the phone either.
    Start job hunting and get back to work. This time go with a W-2 company.
    Try Western Express.
    Home - Western Express
    Submit the short application on the opening page.

    You will be asked why you were fired, so say the company gave you a stack of DOT numbers and you used the wrong one. You didn't know a driver is responsible for swapping DOT numbers on trucks several times a day.

    No, it’s not legal.
    Plus they misclassified you as non comany driver so they pay NO taxes you have to pay everything.
