    7 days in. Not getting home til sat morning now. GF just LOVES that. Thanks for the late load time on this pu. Back out on monday to deliver the thing. APPLIED for and was HIRED for a 6/3. Assigned board was a 12/2? WTF?

    NO tuition reimbursement on this check. DBL had NO CLUE i was supposed to get it. Feeling a bit ripped off right about now. Didnt get detention pay or all of it or something is amiss.
    How is it you can see your pay stub from ADP BEFORE you can see your settlement on crossroads?
    Trained on WF during road training. BACK to having to do mac system on my own before going to WF who knows when.


    Welcome to the REAL SNI.

    hot and sweaty rant over. going to go take a shower.

    oh, I was misinformed, misremembered, living on wishful thinking, or any combo of the above.

    feel much better after getting the road stink off me. Plus DBL and I had a little chat. feet are now on much more realistic ground.

    Its all a learning curve anyway. I could have set myself up a bit better financially before jumping into this.


    If grandpa doesn't mind , I think I'll borrow that.

    Get used to having to complain about detention pay. Once you complain they start putting it on the check. Apparently, they see if you know you're supposed to get detention and see if you complain before they pay it. I don't have any problems anymore since complaining about it enough.

    In regards to tuition reimb, talk to you DBL and if necessary, go one step above them. You should get 150 per month.

    In regards to ADP reporting vs crossroads, not sure what you are talking about. Crossroads doesn't show pay info, the link for pay statements directs you to the ADP link.

    Again, freight sucks right now. Keep that in mind if you get late p/u's or have to sit around for deliveries. It is very annoying but it is what it is. Hopefully it'll improve by the end of Feb or March, and if not by then, April should definitely improve.

    LOL I never even look at those settlement statements. Just did though, and it looks like the only thing that appears on those were cash advances and $30 training pay for taking the workflow class.

    FYI, the tuition reimbursement doesn't appear on the settlement statement, nor does it appear on your actual pay statement. For me they direct deposit the tuition reimb monthly and it's a completely separate transaction from payroll. Keep a look out on your bank statement to see if you are getting it. They also send you a message on crossroads stating that the tuition reimb was paid out.

    I know some companies I worked for you didn't get paid detention until the company got paid. Sometimes I got it right away, sometimes 3-4 weeks away. Sometimes screwed. Just keep up with it in a book.
    Most big companies have a detention person. If you don't get answers from your dispatcher after trying, go straight to the source.
     
    mickeyrat Thanks this.
