    VISTA TRANS HOLDING

    Chicagoland.....?

    Any other questions? And yes, I had to eat that two years ago. I'm well within my rights to talk #### about the ####cago thieves.

    They had me fill out w-2, but when paid it was 1099.

    You know how all companies do, they just tell you that's how it is or done or don't work here. All 1099's treat you like they own you. However, what you say is true-you are a contractor, not a company employee.

    That's my point. You could always stay with them, then turn them in once you get a 1099. But if it's that miserable, you might as well move on.

    @bondin

    We appreciate your feedback but would like to clarify several key facts for transparency:

    • On your very first load, you began driving and drove for over an hour, without completing a pre-trip inspection. You later stated, “I was planning to do it when I stop later. I did not know I had to do it first thing in the morning.” This occurred three days in a row, despite reminders that a pre-trip inspection must be done before driving, per FMCSA rules.

    • Your logbooks were not properly updated for five consecutive days, having incorrect or missing shipping document details. Our team had to review and correct them daily to ensure DOT compliance.

    • Our safety department spent over 45 minutes assisting you in downloading the Trucker Tools tracking app, which was required by the broker, not by our company.

    • The incident that finally led to termination was when you left a shipper without notifying dispatch or sending the BOL, which caused major issues with the broker who had a tracker in their commodity. You were unreachable for over two hours and later disrespected staff by name calling during the call. Following this protocol is an industry standard and unfortunately something we had issues with on multiple occasions.

    • Fuel locations are assigned only to secure the best company fuel discounts—routes are not controlled or dictated.

    • You were classified as a 1099 independent contractor, not a W-2 employee, and you voluntarily applied to our company online after finding our application on Indeed. You filled out a short form, we reached out via email & then you filled out the full company application. You did not sign any W2 forms.

    • All company policies mentioned are standard in the trucking industry and focused on safety, compliance, and professionalism.

    Our team treated you with respect, provided a well-maintained truck, and offered full support throughout your short time. Prior to the incident that led to termination, you told our company that our support was excellent & that you would do your very best to stay within compliance. Unfortunately, due to repeated compliance issues and unprofessional conduct, we determined it was not a good long-term fit. We strive to be as helpful as possible and treat our drivers like family, which is why all of our drivers have been with us for years. But, unfortunately things just didn’t work out in our relation with one another. Wishing you all the best in your trucking journey.
