Beware of cliff viessman inc

Where they based at ?
....with all the tax breaks they will be getting next spring , they should be giving you guys a raise NOT cutting your wages

 

They cut driver pay or drivers used to get paid a separate amount for loading and aren't now because they aren't loading anymore?

 

It takes one person oh... 7 minutes to load a bulk tanker on a set of scale. Done Dumped. Might even be me the driver punching those beautiful buttons. Oh we cannot have that. Liability you know.

One person earning 10.00 a hour to load what? 9 trucks. HA. Look outside there is about 30 more lined. And the ones you loaded earlier today will be coming back to load.

In my time you WANTED to be preload. That means you can jump into the tractor trailer at 2 am and take off and drive. You want to be somewhere 250 miles away to be empty in a hour. Don't worry you will preload for tomorrow and your income should be adequate from delivering one load a day 250-300 miles away.

Until the plant that far away wises up and orders cement from a source much closer to them.

 

You guys should all call off sick tomorrow and see how fast they change their mind about cutting your pay checks

 

So was ours. Loading and unloading is not that big of a deal. (Until it does...) Makes it easier to add up the trips you made to where and come up with a gross pay number before deductions.

If that gross pay is anything less, you go into Human Resources or the Boss and quietly detail you were dispatched here, there and yonder to be paid this, that and there. use the companys own pay sheet for this.

Show that the gross pay is lower in your pay check and ask for a comcheck to you for the difference. Or a explaination. Document that carefully. Name, dates, times to the minute who said what etc. Heck you all have video these days. Even audio recording. That's plenty.

 

....Good to know the labor laws in your state. Most wage agreements are law binding. Either verbal or written.

So when they lowered your wages did they send out a letter and have all you guys sign the new agreement ?

 

I write my hourly pay on a sticky note and put it in my trip packet at the end of the week. It’s good to be trusted (honor system).

p.s. and, the boss doesn’t even get too uptight over my cape (as long as I put the high vis vest over it).
