    the trainers are independent contractors but they are be compensated by central to train their employees which ulitmially makes central responsable.

    all the training companys have a throw the employee away mentality. theres too many people beating their doors down to take your place.

    Central is compensated by shippers to move freight, but central is ultimately responsible for the freight. The sexual harassment was perpetrated by a non-employee. I suppose the plaintiff could say that central made them go there, but it's probably gonna come down to who has the better lawyer.

    This "non-employee" is specifically charged with training Central's employee by Central. They clearly are responsible for the actions of the trainer. They could mitigate some of that responsibility as I said, but that would have required Central to first concern themselves with the well being of their trainee and address those needs with the trainer.

    I bet there was more going on in that case than what was reported. I mean how do you get kicked off of two seperate trainer's trucks in the first place? If half the suits I've heard of are accurate we all have a raise or two coming! Wish they'd hurry we only have one day left... ;)

    As a result of the district court ruling recently that determines that centrals lease drivers are in fact employees of central refrigerated, the company is on the hook for the actions of its trainers and are ultimately responsible.

    Wow I've missed a lot. Crazy weather on 97& I5 today I saw the side of my trailer a couple times and watched a trailer blow over in front of me. The driver was ok. Not looking forward to going back in the morning, but at least I have some weight now.
    On the sexual harassment I have a friend who's trainer did a very similar thing and she got a good chunk of money. Don't know how much, but she has not worked in the last year or so.
