Central Transport International - Warren, Mi.

Does anyone know if Central Transport hourly/local pays 8hrs a day for 12hrs of work or do they straight hourly plus overtime? I saw something on this sight that LTL companies don't have to pay over time if you work hourly. What other LTL companies give you a hourly salary based on 8hrs and run you to death? I would like to know if Central does this. thanks for any info?

 

Yea I looked at the garbage truck thread and one guy said that they would pay him 8hrs for a 12/14 hour day and I was wanting to know if LTL does the same type of stuff thanks for the info.

 

ct is the worst company I have ever worked for I quit this morning after I received my check a deduction of my wages showed up for the hand held scanning device we use,after several calls to payroll and regional ceo it looks like I will have to take them to small claims court to get my last 2 checks I warn anyone who thinks about going to work for these crooks they consistantly were shorting my and the other drivers pay at our terminal when I hired on in Sept of last year I started as an JWA employee at least they showed you on your check stub how many hours you worked and year to date pay ct does not. you also clock in and out on the hand held scanner which doesnt work half the time I will post more on this sorry company in the future

 

Yeah TT, your story is unfortunately pretty typical. A lot of the P&D drivers out of Romulus were unhappy, but they were staying there because thanks to the depressed local economy, they had to. But it was nothing for them to run 10-12+ hour shifts, regularly, go home, get a few winks, and come back and do it again. Pretty much what us nighttime linehaul dopes were doing.

Mack, to answer your question, most of the trlrs used for P&D have roll doors, just CT has so many more road trlrs with swings on 'em.

 

Starting a night dock/driver position out of Flint. Any input from anyone good or bad?

 

Camino, I would advise you to keep a positive attitude, but prepare for the worst. Read everything that we have written here, so can have an idea of what you can expect (if things go badly).

HOWEVER, remember, everyone's experience is different. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

 

I would advise you to keep looking the combo drivers at my terminal where not being payed for all the hours they where working on the dock, talk to some of the combo drivers out of that terminal be point blank with them, also check the condition of equipment as as a nationwide DOT check is about to take place

 

Aw hell, that DOT blitz is just what the doctor ordered, at least some of their crappier equipment will HAVE to be fixed!
