Chicago Companies

Yes. Dispatchers working from Europe. And the way they pay them is shorting the driver miles.

Example paid for miles are 700 yet the actual trip id 760. The miles they skim off goes to pay dispatch.

With google voice VOIP you can have a number anywhere in the US and be talking from anywhere in the world. Everything is over the internet.

 

Maybe drivers should demand $2000 deposit from these types of companies as condition of employment whether 1099 or not.

 

watch out is all I can say, I just tried it with a company named global sunrise, old equipment, 2 week hold back, plus they take money $200 out of your pay till you have 2000 held, and 300 for cleaning the truck if you don't stay. They don't pay. my check for the 1st month was for $516. still waiting for balance, ran 3600 miles in 3 weeks, be careful

 

What was the name of the company you worked for, if you don’t mind me asking.

 

Any company is out to take advantage of you 1099 or W2 you have to find your fit.
Company I work for does pay layover,detention, breakdowns, loaded and empty miles, hotel/flight accommodations, cash adavances.
3000 miles per week
Take home week $1500-$2200 a week
Like anything just have to find the right one that fits you

 

Between being told to abused the hell out of personal conveyance and recruiters,dispatchers that don't speak English very good. Run.
When you can't understand what the recruiter is saying it's probably not going to get any better once you get hired and to hell with 1099 jobs now that Trump has took away all deductions.
It always makes me laugh when the news talks about a driver shortage. Apparently treating people like crap and ripping them off on money they have coming a hundred different ways, insane people in the big cities, waiting to deliver loads for 2 days unpaid, in living in a truck where your dispatcher text you every 5 minutes and ask you an ETA to where you don't even have time to take a shower or grab a meal. then they wonder why no one wants to do this crap.
