repower abuse

Company sent me to a shipper do all the loading, securement, tarping on a large pain in the a__ load. Then drive it less than a mile and wait all day for another driver. He takes the loaded trailer. I get his empty. They called this a repower. Pure BS. Never left the zip code, so no mileage pay. This pisses me off. That is all.

 

Tarping is $40 total. So I will get $20. How long do it take? Securement + tarping took 3 hours. Difficult load with variable heights and 3 tarps that we’re all frozen solid. The repower meetup is also a pain. Other driver just drops a bunch of equipment and happily hits the road.i waited all day. Not doing anything here but venting.

 

I made $20 today. One half of the tarp pay. The hard half. Untarping is easy. Ya $200 would be fair. I’m exhausted, filthy and ...still empty.

 

This is literally the first time I have ever publicly criticized my company. So let’s just say they are a well known large flatbed company. I honestly have never been this mad at them. I’m just talking here. I don’t think complaining about it to them will get me a #### thing. I just wrote a huge nasty letter to the employment services dept. took an hour. Then I read it and just deleted it. That letter was gonna get me nothing.
