Link America .BAD

You should not have to hire any lawyer!!! The state should handle this for you. Get back with them. And don't take any guff off of them or your former employer. Get pizzed. They are used to screwing folks and you have to be just as willing to stick it to them anyway possible.

 

Thank you for the tip. I contacted Link America and spoke with a recruiter. I was transferred to another then another. It seems that the recruiters cant even get their things together. I appreciate this site and all that give their insight to these rotten companies. I will continue to search for a better co. Thanks again

 

yeah they own lane freight and washita freight out of oklahoma city and a few others

 

sounds like washita freight they do this kind of crap

 

Hi all..I actually work for Link America and I'm really sorry to hear that this driver had frustration with our company...A couple of quick points...We are NOT down to 95 drivers as this driver states, We actually have 1,100 drivers and we are adding to that total every single day and having to buy new trucks to keep up with the demand. We do NOT have 100 trucks waiting to be fixed, needing to be fixed or anything close to that. We have 2 in the bay right now and I know of NO trucks currently needing to be repaired that are not in the process of being repaired. We actually DO care about our drivers and their safety. All we ask is that you let us know if you're having problems with your truck so we can find a solution. We do have obligations to our customers to get the freight there, just like any industry, and we try to get it there if at all possible. Without the customers, the drivers would not have jobs....If we lose customers, then drivers lose miles and money and then you start hearing complaints about that! While I do feel bad that this driver had a bad experience with us, I could line up dozens of drivers that would say the exact opposite. As far as holding a check for a month? There is no reason to do that and we would only do that if there WAS a reason to. I don't mind fielding critisizm if it is well deserved. But many of the facts stated by this driver simply are not true. I should know...I work here. A former employee that feels he was wronged may not be the best person to give an objectionable opinion. There ARE two sides to every story. Just like when you have something negative on your DAC...there is another side to the story right? We don't just look at the DAC and make assumptions about that driver. We want to hear both sides. Thanks for reading, and hope you all have a great day!! Be safe!!

 

Sounds like a recruiter doing damage control to me.

 

nope....but don't need to do damage control....we've got drivers calling us every day wanting jobs...we don't do any outgoing calls or pestering people at all....one person having a bad experience doesn't mean that the company as a whole is a bad place to work...i bet every company out there has drivers that have stories about them.
