Link America .BAD

Read your lease agreement.
Most state they can hold your final and reserve for 45 days.
Just to make sure you have no outstanding claims etc.

Reread your lease then go after them.

Road tax, they can pull that up by the end of the week.

Will show your miles ran in each state and amount of fuel bought for each state.

Make sure you have proof that all their stuff got turned in. Door signs plates if theirs etc.
Good luck

 

knowing LinkAmerica they put off purchasing Tags for the Owner Operators as long as they can. I ran on a temp for almost 6 months. My wife was a Recruiter for Washita and when it became Link the safety department were always having to file for extra temp. cab cards until they recieved the money from the Corporate Offices in Tulsa. Those people have no clue as to what they are doing. So they probably have not paid it yet. I did hear a rumor that they were holding drivers trips because they were having money problems.. Now that is just a rumor so I don't know for sure. My wife and I loved working for Washita but hated working for Link. Never could get through on the phones. No one would call you back. But according to them they never got the messages.

 

I worked for Washita/ LinkAmerica before I got laid off. We were losing drivers left and right after Link came in took over. The reason you have drivers calling you every day is because you have ads in every major newspaper on on every website in the country. Your driver retention is terrible! You have to advertise relentlessly to keep replacing drivers because they don't stay after they find out how you operate. so.. don't try to sugar coat your company because it is no better than any other big operation out there! They do not care about the drivers! Simple as that.

 

Is there anything good about links america . WOW!!

 

This is why if I am driven to quit a company, I don't give notice. I go home, clean out my truck, call them up, tell them exactly what I think of them, and deliver the truck back to their closest peice of property. As far as the last paycheck goes, if I'm at this point, there isn't enough in the last paycheck to worry about anyway. The only reason I've ever voluntarily left a company without another job already lined up has been such piss-poor miles that I was actually losing money out on the road.

 

I hate to say it but this is probably the best way to do it. I've done it in the past. Just do your best to line up another job before ripping them a new a-hole.

 

Do my best everytime. Doesn't always work out. Sometimes, the crap you gotta put up with just isn't worth it. And there is a certain amount of satisfaction in the soul when it comes to (graphically) explaining a companies shortcomings. The sad thing is that before the economy tanked, most of the companies I left under less than optimal circumstances would have been thrilled to take me back. Not now, unfortunately, but I have three minor (minor? yeah right, no such thing) backing accidents on my DAC. Yeah, I'm pretty much screwed. Still trying, though.

 

If there is anyone out there upset with link america please contact me as soon as possible! if they put the screws to you lets put the screws to them!

where did they take all those trucks in tulsa? do they have abig storage lot in Tulsa, there's no room at corporate head quarters! any idea as to where they keep there trucks!

D/H, an o/o, called Link a couple weeks ago about working there. Recruiter, having been told he was an o/o, said to come on in (Lakeland, FL) on the following Mon for orientation. Went as scheduled, they were a bit surprised he was there. Hmmm! Spent the day in class, night and the next am was told that the home office said no to hiring o/o's. What a waste of time! Luckily the next day he got on somewhere else and so far, better. Got on a company outside of FL. We'll see how they are in the longer run, too soon to tell. Link America could've saved us the fuel and time with a simple answer on the phone to begin with, but then that makes too much sense. Errr!
