10 days of total car hauling training and 0ne day of driving behind the wheel.

Update. I worked all last week for this company and traveled a few thousand mile, they had me work a 16.5 hrs last thursday and drove in from Tenn and finished out the week in columbus on Friday. Now this comapany has not paid me. The money for the week prior was suppose to hit my account yesterday. I called the owner yesterday to find out what the problem was, the guy is a flake. He acted as if it expensive to train people that don't stay on. Regardless of me staying on, they still owe me for a 65 hr work week completed. I'm going to call the OHIO department of labor, DOT about the excessive hours past 14. I never damaged a dam thing and busted my back while in training. Now these crooks aren't going to pay me what I have earned. Is this even legal for them not to pay me my last check. I'm pretty suprised by this.

 

As you said, regarless of training cost I should be paid for working all week as a " Helper" if nothing else.The trainer said he is paid an extra $25 dollars a day. They paid me $50 dollars a day while in training. During the two weeks the trainer said we were able to ship an extra 20 cars. I helped cut his load time in half. I averaged at 65 hrs a week $3.85 an hour. So, basicly they paid out $375 to the both of us and paid for a one time/night $39 dollar hotel during that 10 days. Over all paid out $414 dollars for the training.

Like I said I have not collected my last weeks check so far only week one's check. Busted my ##### for nothing. Something tells me they were paid more than $20.70 per vehicle to ship the 20 extra during that time. $20.70 x 20 =$414 dollars.

Please don't start quoting the cost to run a business to me. I have a degree in business. I am fully aware of the cost associated with running a business Ins/overhead/payroll etc. My reward for being honest about not taking their shotty equipment out on the road is no paycheck. Honesty pays.. Yea right.

I have not put their name out yet in these forums and will not if they pay me. If they choose to steal from me then I'm going to post their name here, and every CL listing I see from them will have a RE posting to let others know to beware of the company. They are out nothing. People come and go daily from trucking companies from what I'm reading here in these forums.

If I had damaged one thing during that two weeks I would not be seeking weeks two's paycheck. I earned it the hard way.

 

The owner returned my personal email to him. He claims I will be paid by next week. I hope they do the right thing and compensate me for the work week completed. We will see. If they pay me I will remove this posting. I don't like to bad mouth anyone. It's all about character in life.

 

The company did pay me for my last week of work. It took till today and signing some papers to get it. They did the right thing in the end. For that I am thankful.
