Towne Air Freight

Hey maffy i was looking at them too, let me know how its going

 

I worked for them around 2004 as a company driver, not an oo. About 5 of us got hired at the same time and roughly lasted about the same amount of time (6 weeks or less). It's been a while so it's hard to exactly remember, but they had some kind of crazy pay scheme. We were hired hourly to find out it wasn't hourly. It was some hour to mile or trip equivalency and there was some crazy procedure to actually get paid part of it hourly if you didn't get enough miles or if you were delayed or something (sorry, it was a long time ago), kind of like a draw vs commission thing in sales. It was horrible and all of us got screwed for money. I think within 6 weeks I got screwed for about $600. For me, definitely one of the worst places ever. And there was something I remember about a company called Service First from Florida. Somehow they were tied up in this, but I don't remember exactly how. Can't imagine the owner operators would be treated better. Sorry to give bad news.

It's been quite a few years since then, things may be completely different. Good luck.

 

fld thanks for the news, I'll take it anyway I can get, before I make a mistake, I have been looking and looking and waiting to find a good company to get on with. But in all reality its time for me to take control of my own destiny .. This forum has givin me a wealth of knowledge making friendships with some great people, and making me realize what I already knew and felt in my heart. It's time to do my own thing out here, it's what I know it's what I love doing so Might as well make it work for me for a change, thanks for the great info!!
