Trans Am / Sub-Leasing for Jonathan G.= Baaaaaaaad News

Jonathan "Ricco" G. is one hell-uv-a scam artist!!! He is a leasing CONtractor for Trans Am. He sub-leases 7 trucks to us newbies, ripping us off of weekly pay, then dumping us to the curb & rips the last two weeks of pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to school in Omaha, '07 grad. top of my class, referred to Trans Am as a good starting co.
The first mo. with them went ok, money, repairs, and miles all average. (not sub ave). My problem is I was referred to Jonathan G. a month after; pays $.50cents per mile. He does tell you that you get paid the .50 after the lease pmt. for the (250k+) 'used' truck you will drive, comes out first.
What he doesn't tell you is he squeeks on most maintenance! Then lies while ripping off the top of our pay!!!
We got NO SETTLEMENT INFO about the miles we ran, the fuel consumption, costs per mile, etc. Just a check (a week after he gets paid, if youre lucky)
Example: My first week with him, I ran 1,850 miles, but dropped it after the Thurs. deadline so this trip went into the following weeks pay that was a good week of 3,500+ miles... (um lets see, 1850+3500=5,300 mi.) MyPay=??? $1,300.!!! I had to call him and ask where/ why so low pay? His response;"one trip not on there". The following week also good #
4,000 mi.= payed $1500. "Why so low pay for hi miles I asked". He consistently smiled, laughed, joked, 'conned' me into believing there were many variables that kept it low. (The smiling face thats twisting the knife in my back was "wolf in sheep skin"). After a few months of driving with this outfit (R.J. Trucking is what he calls his pirate ship co.) the miles started to go down, also the pay...$7-800.
After he realized I was keeping close and accurate records of ALL INCLUDING FUEL CONSUMPTION (yes I kept to the required ave. per load).
He says "he will drive with each of the seven drivers and pay them every cent of the team miles". Oh what a scam, I was the first victim.(I was to become recipient of his truck while he rolled from truck to truck for supposedly giving us either a) paid $400 while the driver gets a 1 wk. vacation or b) roll with us for a week+ & pay us every penny of the team driving.
After dropping off my truck at Olathe terminal and teaming with G.,
1) he had made no effort to move his things from shelves (first flag he had no intentions of moving out of the truck)
2) after my 4,000 miles week prior, I was not paid for this!
3) we rolled 5,300 mi. during this week, on Thur.eve he buys me dinner saying how blessed he is to have me. The very next morning, Fri. (pay day) he flips out/ says "I must talk to you in a public place", and fires me for a couple of b.s. charges a) renting a room charged it to T.A.(I have statement on my cr. card, this was charged to me/not T.A.) and
b) I drove (downhill) at 80mph, endangering his life. These are the only two bogus reasons he could GET ME OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, FIRED ON PAYDAY (how convenient)!!!
A blessed friend one day, a fired idiot the next day. He put me out in the rain in Virginia! I called the cops to let them know I am being wronged, they look at his registration, say that I am not on it... I must go! I did.

Now Garcia not only pays me only $912 for the 4000 mil. week... one week following, he STOPS PAYMENT on the check, puts my acct. in negative. (he did this as soon as he sent it to my bank). Now I get an email, saying he has numerous (trumped up charges of me owing him!!! I.E.; RIPPED OFF !!!!!!!!!!)
He has done this with a couple of other drivers too. They too are suing him for bogus lies/deceit and 'stealing' our monies!!!
I called the labor commish., they say "oh you were a sub-contractor??? well we can do nothing". (another base covered by this scam artist!)
I spoke to the owner of Trans Am, he acted like "oh well".
I guess these guys can blatantly rip off newbies and get away with it huh? Yes, I admit I was naive, but can these scam artists continue to operate in broad daylight without any fear of repercussions???? Someone, please help me to get my money back and stop this sort of blatant thievery from us who work hard but get shorted by sharks...
Bottom line for NEWBIES; TRANS AM COMPANY SIDE=O.K.
TRANS AM LEASE SIDE=hi lease & most get low miles.
SUB LEASE UNDER A LEASOR LIKE JONATHAN (R.J. Trucking) DO NOT DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
