Aside from many payroll issues and mileage shortages, giltner kept $2162.40 when I quit. They went back two years to loads delivered and paid a long time ago and asked me to prove I delivered them. Since you leave sysco bill of ladings with the dropped trailer, you will never have many proof of deliveries. Giltner continues to lose shippers and trailers. Before I quit, one of the last good accounts was sysco drop and hooks. Now, since giltner has turned in so many of its leased trailers, there are never any empties available, so when you drop a loaded trailer, the sysco yard dog drops it at a dock the next morning. Since its now a dropped trailer, it will be the last trailer unloaded, as sysco works on live unloads first. So now the "drop and hooks" actually take longer to unload than live unloads, defeating the whole purpose of drop and hooks. Much of the rest of the freight involves waiting for many hours at the port for bananas for walmart DC deliveries at 3-4 AM, often over the weekend where you will again wait for reload 2-3 days. I had many such loads that used to be delivered easily on a friday that now giltner stretches out until a saturday 330 am delivery because giltner knows it has no reload until monday. Thats another huge shift to the downside: Many more weekend deliveries because no other trucking company wants these undesirable weekend deliveries. When your time off day arrives, after putting it in the qualcom macro weeks ago, its totally ignored. I couldnt find one happy giltner driver when I was driving.

How long did you drive for this company?

Where did you pick up your bananas? Gulfport? The one on the right I believe is Chicquita? They are slow. I only been in there twice. The one on the left is Dole. I usually got in and out pretty quick.
You don't have to prove a load you already were paid for. You should have payroll sheets with your trips listed. That's one proof. The other proof is your logbook. I would file an online complaint with your state's Dept. of Labor Wage and Hour Division. They'll go to bat for you because it's illegal for them to do that unless you signed some prehire agreement allowing them to do so. No company has free access to your paycheck. -
Correct about giltner. If you want to just drive around for practice, maybe giltner is your company. But if you want to make money and not be ripped-off, try someone else.
