Class action lawsuit filed against May Trucking

That sounds like the same guy at weekend Breakdown?

 

Please check out the Class Action Lawsuit filed against May Trucking Inc..

 

ok here goes guys..The Lawyer said that May told her that the drivers have an option of getting a room instead of Idleing..never heard May nention that.

 

You have to be told that you can get a room instead of idling? Is it not common sense that you could get a room? May is not going to pay for it if that is what you are trying to get at.

You have every opportunity to research a company, ask before you go what policies are and even at orientation to not sign the paperwork that specifically states what the idle policy is.

I do not agree with their policy. I see why they do it though, but I still do not agree.

 

I believe they changed it thanks to me

 

you have always had the option of getting a room, on your dime

I'm with Efon, I don't agree with the policy, but I understand it, and I have no problem playing by their rules.

 

does anyone know what has happened to the case in Cali? I am looking to sue them as well. I have been injured and they are playing games with me. I have been followed,harrassed, my family as well.

Most of these posters failed to understand that this suit was not about what is happening in the industry as far as pay and how you are payed. But it was a suit brought against May for violating CA labor laws.

Just because a company puts forms in front of you to sign, it does not absolve them from following the law.

When drivers mention the payroll on comdata, I as a former May driver remember being told in orientation that they had direct deposit to avoid the comdata charges. They did not have direct deposit, they had manual deposit where they sent the money to the card and I had to deposit it into my bank account.

They also charged you twice what they paid you for not idling and no where during my orientation at May did they disclose that you would have around 3% idle time charged to you when you did not idle. I know because I went a whole week of no idle and still had idle time charged because their was no grace period before the idle clock started.

They had a policy of detention after 4 hours but would only pay it if they could collect it from their customer. They also expected drivers to pay out of pocket to wash their company equipment.

Now since May is a shifty shoddy company that only hobos on wheels or greenhorns want to work at, I still think only the training wage and the instrument of payment of payroll have any legs to stand on. OTR carriers have exempt status on most labor issues.

I have also had May tell me their mileage pay compensation is not just for driving, but for all work performed.

Any driver that is not in the two categories i listed above should know as soon as they step on the yard at Brooks, that it is a no frills operation and as a driver you will have to bust your ### to even have a chance at BF pay. Back burner shpr loads to back burner customers. I mean when I started working there I could not believe some of the dp schds. I mean they would have you do 3 one hundred milers 1 day and the next they would give you 2 days to run a 300 miler. Their loads where a joke. Paper products to grocery whses and nursery loads no one else wanted. Still can't believe I lasted 6 mo's at that outfit. If you can run, May will bore you to death. If you like sitting on docks and shooting the breeze with other May drivers about your kick ### 60mph ride, then you will like it. It's also a great place for the new driver because the del schds certainly don't push you to drive more then part time. And the homeless will have a cot to sleep on and make enough money to get the 3 piece meal at KFC and a occasional video when they throw it in the discount bin at the pilot.

 

Working for May, and 2 months in the training program. Geez! How did this guy get THIS far in life is beyond me.
