I worked for hirschbach motor lines for almost two years, and in that time, i estimate that my revenue was over 300,000 dollars, the money i earned for the company neared 1,000,000 dollars, and my actual take-home pay was below the poverty range both years. i worked as an owner-operator, making my own tractor payments and paying for my own fuel, which cost me, but was not so much to keep me frequently below 0 dollars pay for two to nine consecutive weeks in a row. This i attribute to their shifty accounting; trips appeared in later weeks than they should have, fuel was charged very close to deadlines for new weeks, mysterious abbreviated (and unidentifiable) charges in the hundreds and thousands appeared that had nothing to do with my truck, and i was quite literally straved into taking runs on the east coast that amounted to negative pay. Also, this company does a great deal of business with tyson meat, who overload, are uncourteous, and leave the trailers filthy, which causes me to have to waste my time and money sliding axels, weighing, and getting washouts too frequently. As well as accepting non-paying loads, i also had to spend several tousand dollars a year going through tolls, which i was also forced to take- keep in mind as an owner-operator, i should always have the option of choosing my own freight- and none of this expense was refunded by the company. after i finally quit because of my comdata card being cut off by the safety department for a two day late physical, i was further screwed over- they never refunded my pet deposit, even though the truck had no damage, they charged me for a trailer repair, took out 2,000 dollard in unidentifiable charges that were not in my contract, and managed to make my total revenue and deductions that exct same amount, resulting in 0 pay. there was also an accident that had never occurred charged to me for the amount of 1000 dollars. dont work for hirschbach.

Your full of it. I lease a brand new prostar at $675/wk plus all my other expenses. I hardly ever touch any east coast and consistently bring home over $1k a week after deductions. Either you don't drive or you got off the 99 cent fuel program. Maybe you pissed off your dispatcher. Hell you can replace them also. I make good money here so you obviously did something wrong somewhere to get screwed.

I'm tossing the B.S. flag on this. $150k per year ($300 divided by 2) and still had (in his words) 2 to 9 weeks without a check? Sounds like BAD money management to me. You had run to the east coast, boo hoo. next time avoid some of the toll roads, it not that hard. A little more effort yes, but doable. (I run the northeast all the time, cant avoid them all, but you can cut the number down pretty easy) Bad trip planning on your part. Non paying loads???? really you expect us to believe that nonsense?. The physical....that is a federal thing, you must have a current medical card. You waited to long, its YOUR fault. Of course that big question is why did you wait 2 years to leave???????

This is nothing to do with being a lease operator vs. owner operator, in my opinion it is nothing more then some guy who didn't know what he was doing, bad with money and rather then look in the mirror blames the company.

He forgot to mention they have ez pass and he doesnt pay those tolls. Hell we even have a toll pass for florida oklahoma kansas and texas now. If he had to pay he just needed a receipt to get reimbursed. Just another lazy ### who likes truckstops more than miles.

Why would an o/o have to pay a pet deposit in the first place?
