Leaves driver stranded penniless and steals a months pay

I worked for Cult Power inc out of Niles, IL for 2 months. I have been driving for 27yrs without tickets or accidents...until I got there... I was continuously pulled into scales and DOT inspection because the company is red flagged due to their safety record. I had my first ever accident in early 2015. Black ice under snow just outside of Milwaukee. I was down for a week. They put me in another truck worked for a month routed me thru to their shop because the pro star I was driving was derating and throwing codes. I was told when direct deposit was going out that their "computer" wasn't allowing the bank deposits to be made and that the owner would cut me a EFS check for partial pay. I kept calling for that check and could not get a solid answer. When I was routed thru to the shop I was told the OWNER was going to meet me there with my pay that was owed me. Instead he brought me a settlement sheet that was falsified ..had me as contract driver not a driver that I actually was. Charged me a $2000.00 deductible on the truck fined me $800.00 and said I owed THEM $1149.00 over what I had made driving OTR that was $3400.00. 3800-4000 miles a week gone for 2 months. He said they switched insurance companies and couldn't keep me. Took me to a hotel in Glendale heights, IL no money for food.....and the hotel was 15 minute walk from any nearest convenience store ...... both directions.......said if he if had a truck come in I could get a ride to Florida where I lived. I was there for 5 days. My Aunt paid for a ticket back to Florida and as a result of not being able to hire a Attorney or pay the ticket from Milwaukee they suspended my license....how can companies just steal wages and make up charges???

 

He didn't have a problem with polish/russian males who had horrid safety records...interesting
