IRT Indian River Transport $1500 BONUS

Companies pay you to sit to guarantee a check that you can live on. If I am away from home, away from my family sitting in a truck I expect to get paid something for my time. Its the companies job to keep me moving. If they can't, I expect to be compensated. Lack of freight in the area isn't my problem. Deadhead me to the house, load me in a reasonable time frame or pay me to wait for a load.

 

Hardly. Never took a dime of government money in the 45 or so years I have been working. Can you say the same?

Companies who value employees and want to keep them have policies in place to insure they get paid. You see they hire a higher class of person who expects to be compensated for their time. My home is not my truck so if I am stuck somewhere in my truck I am working.

 

Find a better company then. Its as easy as sending you a tankwash message to your home terminal. I can't count how many times I have been deadheaded over 500 miles to the house. Superior pays around $160 per 24 hours if you babysit the truck waiting for a load. They would rather have you sit at home when freight is slow so they don't have to pay you.
