Transam trucking - lease program

Am interested in speaking to a lawyer about this leasing program, my husband thought it was the way to go and now he is hostage to the road without being able to send money home for our life. We looked at this in the beginning as "deployment" (he is a vet) and expected to not see each other right off in the beginning. We did not expect to make money for the lease only and have absolutely no money for rent or our life. I don't need a lot in life but I don't think a home, food and good health are asking to much from our employers in America.
I have read message boards all over and for Trans Am word for word it's the same year after year. How do they get away with this rip off? A land lord can't take away your lively hood, how come an employer can do that? This economy is horrible right now and no one knows when it will get better, my husband was out of work for a year before he went to school and trained to drive.
Do people realize that if the truckers don't drive for a week it will shut down America? I say it's time for a strike boys & girls, and God forbid any immigrants drive over the roads. Do you realize there is a green card program for these immigrants so they can drive? How insane , see below.... sign me, missing my hubby but proud of him too.

NOTICE MARCH 2009

We are not able to accept any new applications from truck drivers until further notice.

The reason for this is American Employers must assist American people who need employment as a first priority.

For the last 10 years, the American trucking industry has had a huge shortage of drivers.

The Global Financial Crisis occurred and many American’s who lost their jobs turned to trucking.

We will begin accepting applications for employers again as soon as possible.

###### man...you just about said it all.only part left out is they get really,really upset because you quit.just dont understand why youd want to leave them hanging while your losing your shirt.THEY get upset and make threats.THEY give you home time,as requested, on their terms and THEIR schedule(in my case 2 days late AND 200 mile deadhd)think they really liked me.Folks, if your gonna, do yourself a favor..get some k-y and prepapration-h.you'll need both. oh, and knee pads and skaters gloves.

 

and to be fair, I blame ME for doing the stupid, but I find tremendous fault in that Transam will hang you out to dry, and then have the gall to tell you it's your fault you failed.Let me tell you, eight (8) straight weeks of negative income, running the miles provided, one 4 day stretch of home time, their routes,their fuel solutions, not refusing loads, no lates or missed, and I'm to blame??they have even cut me off from printing out my settlements(didnt have a laptop)but am to be satisfied i'll get a 'history' sent with my final.right.I blame ME for leasing, but I balme Transam for the rape

 

and now for the final 'thrust'. it's gonna cost me 25 bucks for whats supposed to be accessable online.... my settlements!I'm denied access online,yet it's the only way to view(i dont have a laptop so i couldnt get the details on the road).so for me to actually see my stuff(also couldnt nav.on phone)I have to pay. Oh, one more thing,the guy in the truck on the web page isn't nor was a driver.

 

I haven't worked for Trans-Am but I do think your poll should include "hell no", "no way in hell" and "have you lost your #### mind?!?

 

I currently lease with trans am, in the past 6 months i have averaged 289.00 a week. and now with the cost of fuel i am making even less. their fuel surcharge does not keep up with the rising cost. Hopefully i will be able to leave this horrible company soon.

 

$289.00 a week to driver OTR, and have the responsibilities of ownership basically? C'mon guys quit making the same mistakes everyone else has made, I live in Florida, renowned for our bad economy, I drive local, which some will tell you has no money in it, but I have made 14,500 in my first 4 months this year, and as long as no illnesses or any unforseen problems arise, I will hit about 45,000 this year and be home every night and have the weekends off. Simply put don't give up hope out there, get out of this nightmare you guys are in and keep your head up, there still are good jobs to be found, hell I'm successful in Florida right now and that's saying a lot.

 

bail,friend,bail. just jump as far as you can. put in your 2 weeks and go. they will not let you do the 2 weeks but that'll get you out of the lease. "Run Cymba and Never look back!" Then get to your dept of labor. but first get your stuff online or they'll close the access and , get this.....they'lll charge ya 25.00 for your final and i ain't bird-turdin.
