I'm full of #### ???? lmao , Ok, I have 4 other o/o's that will agree with my statement. There are numerous complaints about OAKLEY with OOIDA. They are crooked as they come. BIG JOHN you sound ignorant. MISGUIDED as well. Yes I read the contract , yes they violate the " Truth in Leasing Laws" , Yes Arkansas says EVEN Independent Contractors are included in the State Law regarding Drug tests and physicals.... EDUCATE yourself before you talk smack.... Yes the ATTNY was Oakley's. Not a truckers tale... You lasted 9 months uh ??? Sounds like a great company hahaha

OK Einstein CHECK for yourself..............

BIG JOHN said this !!
"These company's don't spend thousands and thousands of dollars to attorneys to draw up some lease that is illegal".???? ARE YOU SERIOUS ????? BIG JOHN hahahahahaha you actually think what you said here is true ???

Then please Mr. Know it all explain the many Lawsuits that OOIDA has been involved in regarding " Truth in Leasing Laws" with SEVERAL trucking Companies.... These same Companies I imagine have spent as YOU stated " thousands of dollars to have these contracts written.

Just some well known LAWSUITS against known Trucking Companies that I'm sure spent thousands of dollars to Attorneys to have their ILLEGAL contracts drawn up. As BIG JOHN said.



I'm sorry BIG JOHN , you sound naive and gullable... Trying to be sarcastic in your statement while not having a clue about Laws. Do some homework before you get on here and talk down to people. KNOW the facts. I forget , did you see my final payroll settlement??? Did you see the other 4 drivers settlement ?? Did you speak to the Arkansas Dept. of Labor ??

As for me happening to contact the same Lawyer. There is not many Attorney's with knowledge and understanding of the " Federal Truth in Leasing Laws" . I don't think you need to be a rocket scientist to call and find an Attorney that deals with our industry. Now BIG JOHN may be the type to call the first Attorney in the phone book and use him , but not me. Yes,the Attorney I finally spoke to after many different firms was the same as BRUCE OAKLEY'S Attorney. I do not need to prove myself to a know it all truck driver like BIG JOHN lmao... Who by the way worked there for ONLY 9 months.


Yes , Like I have with other Contracts I have read them and understand them. Mercer, unlike OAKLEY abides to the contract and the Federal and State Laws regarding our Contract.

here is another Lawsuit..
Seems that Oakley also violates the "Americans with Disabilities Act " as in this Lawsuit.

BIG JOHN , you said it well in this statement ~~~"I don't like to be treated as a company driver with a truck payment."

They act like the truck is theirs. Obviously they are not that great or you would still be working there.

Here is some advice BIG JOHN. Know what you are talking about and have some facts to back your argument.....Before you talk down to someone and their personal experiences..

 

Ok, Mr. loud mouth ,wish you knew it all full of hot air truck driver.
Again , feel free to contact the Arkansas Dept. of Labor and check for yourself. You do know how to use a phone ??

I see all you do is make $1.30 a mile and do as your told and you are a happy camper. WOW you can call people names , pretty impressive. I bet your college educated !! DOUBTFULL

OAKLEY rips people off , ask any of their drivers how long they worked there . They have a huge turn over rate, not from being a perfect company as you preach. Again, you no longer work there.

Now Mr. DUMB a@#. I bet you say your a 100% owner operator and Independent Contractor. When you apply for a job it asks for your 10 year job history, you do not put self employed nor INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. You list the names of the companies in which you sign your lease to. NEWS FLASH. if you are leased to a carrier,hauling under their authority, their trailer, under their dispatch, hauling for them only, you are not a 100% Independent contractor.

Illinois is pursuing and challenging Independent Contractors / employees.

Section 212.1 of the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Act requires that the drivers maintain a separate business identity by displaying their name and address on their equipment or otherwise.

It is necessary under Section 212.1 to give the independent contractor/owner-operator total freedom as to how he/she conducts his/her business separate and apart from the services they provide the Carrier. This means that a non-compete agreement will destroy independent contractor status under Section 212.1.

BIG ARROGANT JOHN, do you understand what a NON COMPETE AGREEMENT IS ???? Do your homework dumb a#$

You speak down to people who have had a bad experience with some companies. Do you have a emotional problem or any insecurities ??



you said ~~~
I am sure OOIDA has some complaints on Bruce Oakley, Inc. I would bet they have a lot of complaints that are made to them about hundreds of trucking company's but if they are Breaking the Truth in Leasing Laws how come OOIDA isn't knocking on their door with bus load of lawyers? Why don't you call Jim Johnston and ask him?~~~~~

I did call, why dont you call Johnston and ask him why they are not filing against your perfect company , you know, the one you only worked for 9 months at..

With all the BS with CSA2010. OOIDA hasn't filed against that yet ???
If a Company or individual is sued often or have complaints often, well Arrogant John what does that tell ya ??? Is it beyond your education ??

11-3-203. Medical examination as condition of employment
NOWHERE does it say Independent contractors are exempt as it does in other sections of the Arkansas Dept. of Labor regulations , as an example~~~~~~~~~

11-4-203 in regards to minimum wage and overtime.

Here you show that you contradict yourself..

First you said this ~~~~~~~~
"These company's don't spend thousands and thousands of dollars to attorneys to draw up some lease that is illegal"

Then you said this ~~~~~~~

"I am sure those companies spent thousands with attorneys, attorneys are not cheap and still decided to cheat the system and lost in court "

SO ??? Which is it ?? Must be beyond that 10nth grade education.

You also said this ~~~
"I didn't need to see your settlement it doesn't prove anything. Bruce Oakley, Inc. charged you what they said they were going to charge you, it was all on that contract you signed."

HOW in your simple little mind can you say a settlement showing factual evidence of over charging someone on something not prove anything ???
Again , must be beyond your level of education.

You said this ~~~~~`
"I don't. I have never even looked in a phone book for a lawyer, never had a reason to and if I needed one I have other sources for finding n attorney. But didn't you look in the phone book for one? "

Other sources?? How , if you live 170 miles from a City would you look for a Lawyer? Internet or phone book... Must be that simple mind we discussed earlier.


you said this ~~~~~
"I am going to nickname you "Gomer Pyle" because this is the kind of crap I hear around the trucker section in the truck stop restaurant and their is usually someone that is real loud and talking out his ###. That isn't even the same company. That is Oakley, Inc. not Bruce Oakley, Inc. Their are several company's out their that have the name Oakley, ever here of Oakley sunglasses and they are listed as Oakley, Inc. among others. What an Idiot you are. Talk about not doing your homework"

You amaze me... Simply amaze me with how such an APOLOGIST you are for Oakley. You call people names lmao. Such a big tough guy. Your a joke.
Get yourself some education, learn to respect yourself some more. Stand up for yourself and don't be so naive...

you also said ~~~
Couldn't make your payments shoot I made mine along with all my other payments. It sounds to me like you had other problems, maybe why you couldn't make your payments because in your own words they had the freight and miles.

Apparently you quit your other job because of rates ?? I think your full of ##$%. You just couldn't handle it uh ?? You sit here bad mouthing people when they have problems, but apparently you did too !!! You call people names , is it from your own personal experience ???? lmao you are a JOKE

 

John , you remind me of the truckstop truckers who say they had a bad time with a DOT Officer so you then called U.S. Marshals !! lmao You have something to say about everything , look how many posts you have on here !!! Go get a life...
