I have no experience with pgt, but it isnt uncommon for the final check to be mailed vs direct deposit
-
And they wonder why most don't give them the opportunity to put the screws to us... (Exhibit A)
-
After I had given my two weeks notice at Pepsi and was at the end of week 1 training my replacement I was informed that my last paycheck would be held up until I collected the difference from a customer who was undercharged. I politely told them that price errors in the handheld computer, while unfortunate, were not my problem. I also informed them that I was taking my final week in vacation that I was owed and that if I was shorted one red cent I'd talk to a lawyer.. I was paid no problem.
If they had balked I was ready to threaten to turn them in to the DOT because 3 of us were operating outside the 150 mile radius for the shorthaul logbook exemption. -
Funny how that gets their attention. Once I left an agent and they owed me $6,000 and gave them a week to pay,finally I called the C.E.O at the time and left a vmail asking him if I needed to call his "accounts" for my final payment. $ was on my com data card within 20 minutes. Lol
They will only get away with,what you let them. -
You quit because you were away from home for 5 weeks? My god, next time do your homework before you drive Over The Road. They don't call it OTR for no reason.
Airborne Thanks this. -
Oh come on man!! 5 weeks IS ENOUGH!!!
vhughes Thanks this. -
not to offend anyone here
but as for myself ? i will do 4 or 5 weeks out at a time
period
if they dont like it ? i dont care
heheheheheeh
trucking companies are in desperate straits for drivers
they have no choice but to deal with drivers like me
clean mvr , no csa , no drugs , no criminal record
i dont give a rats ### what they like or dont like
they have no problem trying to screw me every chance they get
and i have no problem doing the same to them
heheheheheheheAirborne Thanks this. -
REALLY? Why? Maybe this example listed right here? I would do the same as the rest of these guys!
I once worked for a guy and his dad they both ran it, but he told me he had to inventory my company own property, I said what would that be? 2 shirts? They were on the seat of the truck, now send me my last check FedEx or I will turn you in for not pay SSI and all the other stuff you get away with not paying, I had a check the next day by USPS!.
I to don't trust these guys! They don't trust us why should we trust them?
Drive safe! -
if you have a problem being out on the road for more than a month at a time, then you shouldn't drive OTR. That's my point. Get yourself something in LTL or regional if you need to be home more often.
