Dont GO to DOMENICO

I am not sure about Colorado, but in MOST States, Victor Domenico appears to have broken at least several State Labor laws and may have broken Federal Laws as well.

For example: While sometimes an employer might lower pay, it is illegal for him to do so "retroactive" and without a valid reason.
Also, it is ILLEGAL (this is a Federal Labor Law) for an employer to PUNISH an employee for an on-the-job injury and to deduct for things that are his responsibility, such as fuel and wear-and-tear. But he is fully with-in his rights as an employer to institute a "Point" system for violating "Company Policy" or Safety Regulations.

I suggest that if he deducted from your pay in the above manner(s) you contact your State Labor Board and file a complaint immediately.

Yes, and EACH time a deduction is made, it has to be treated as a NEW deduction and must be authorized and signed for, as if this is the first time.

 

Hey that guy terminating people based on points for on the job related injuries is full of crap you need to take the written policy and send it into your stae labor department and the state his company is located in....thats horrible

 

I know this is an older thread. But saw an ad for them today and talked to them a bit. The pay seems decent for what it is buuut not sure on the insurance. If there are any "current" driver that happen to see this please let me know if they are worth working for, and if you can make a decent living.
Thank you

 

I see this is an old thread, and just came across. I have been employed with Domenico Transportation over 10yrs, and this sounds like a disgruntled past employee. Our pay has changed over the years, on an upward scale, and I believe this is to keep the company competitive, in the marketplace, with rates and turnover. There has never been a point system, driver pay has never been reduced, and deductions from our pay for, "fuel and wear and tear on a whim", are simply not true. There have been drivers who negligently damaged equipment, and were retrained on proper procedures, not terminated. I work with some of the best professional drivers at this company, and make a great living. We are assigned our own tractor, and I heard they have ordered 20 new T680 Kenworths. Great company, great equipment, great pay!!

 

I still see ads being ran off and on. Noticed now they offering 4 on 4 off schedule. And making 1400 a week. Not sure how true that is or how the insurance is. Would appreciate any first hand knowledge. I could call the office, but we all know how they'll make it sound .
