    Ive been paid for every single load, and on time. I don't know why he hasn't been. If you still have your transflo receipts call them and dispute it.

    The customer signed and gave me the wrong bills on an 750 mile load.The customer would not pay Builders so they will not pay me. But after 2 months after I left they finally paid me for the others. Maybe you have good luck with them Mr.D but if everyone else did they wouldnt have as many quit as do. I keep in touch with drivers there, the turnover is only getting worse with the e-logs.

    I don't think builders is going to be the only one with having drivers quit because of e-logs lol.

    bsmith1680 - Ive been with them almost 8 months now, and yes, I started out as a student.

    Whatever you think, I know in three months of employment they shorted every check. I never asked to be home in but one weekend and that was for my son's birthday. I was 80 miles from home empty when they sent me to get another load after I told them I needed to be home.Disp. says we will have you on set up on an alcoa load when you empty out. Empty out at 7:30 send empty call nothing. Finally got a load 3 hrs later but my pickup was not till 3 p.m. (alcoa is not the place to be on friday trucks everywhere) . I made it home with an hour to spare.Still had to shower and shave change. Maybe you will have a better experience I know mine was god awful. You will see till you have worked a good job you dont realize a bad one, thats why most vet's run after a couple months.

    Alcoa is exactly where I hope they send me on Fridays. As the crow flies, that'll put me about 9 miles from the house! Set up to start orientation March 14th and really looking forward to it.
