    Found the FLE management troll on the board. You think you would have learned your lesson when the Teamsters in Minnesota got the back pay for the workers you screwed last time. In a just world, these owners would be in jail. Here's hoping

    Well I went and reapplied at my old job. Not the best place, but it wasn't the worst either. I'm hoping to hear Tuesday about getting rehired. I'm on hold with the U.S. Labor Dept. office closest to the LME home office. I'm not going to just roll over for anyone. If they can't help, then I'll call the U.S. Attorney in Minnesota. They can't be allowed to do this twice and just walk away.

    I feel for the drivers and office staff. They tried to skirt the system, and got caught. So much collateral damage. The good news is companies are screaming for drivers, try and keep your emotions in check and start applying. Good luck to all affected drivers.

    I think this is the 3rd one to do this in 2019. Man I'm glad I'm not OTR I would be pissed about this kind of outcome.
