Western Express Lawsuit

lmao....gotta make sure the rest of my old co workers know about this

 

I was told years ago OTR was exempt from this sort of thing .

Cant wait to see how it plays out

 

What was the question?

 

i started out ne reg then switched to otrdoesnt matter to me a company like western deserves anything coming to them .I personally put up with mediocre miles & pay for 9 months and i had a 2014-2015 volvo that was in the shop for 1 thing or another every week.Finally came to conclusion enough was enoughgot outta there before something happened & they were my only hope

 

Interesting, in California with their labor laws and the labor law enforcement, this might finally come to something. I have a couple of friends to call latter as well.

 

It plays out like this; the lawyers get rich and the drivers get a $50.00 coupon to shop at K-Mart.
I signed for one of those years ago and got a coupon for $5.00 and immediately threw it in the trash can where it belongs.
Another thing, if the lawyer fees exceed the award; everyone that signed on gets a lawyer bill in the mail.

 

I think the plaintiffs in question are those in probationary and OTJ training status and I doubt they have a leg to stand on as they are not officially "working" or fully employed. The federal exemption for truck drivers from overtime pay has always held up when people try this so I don't see it going anywhere ... not even a settlement.

 

Can't understand the legalese, but something about the US Marshalls Service use of silencers on their weapons.

 

This is all BS. Just ask their recruiters.

You can make a LOT of money at WE.

Muahaaaaa.
