Does this sound fair????

Because in Chicagoland there aren't any unemployed drivers and it may take weeks to find someone half decent.

 

Ahh I see, from what I read on here chicago has such a bad rep and the first thing I can think is 1099.

 

I could quit this job and have another just like this one within 6 minutes.I kid you not.

 

Most of them let you choose 1099 or w2.The truth is that some are better some are worse.I don't think that driving for any mega would be any better.Here I get paid what was agreed to,I am not short changed on miles,nobody can force me to do something I don't want to do (sure they will be nagging).At this point I am not being interviewed for a job,I interview them.The problem is that they all will promise you pie in the sky and you taking chances with your 2 weeks pay.So far I been paid in every place I worked but I have an issue with 2 of them charging me some questionable from my POV charges.

 

Would you mind sharing those hidden charges your company wants you to pay.

 

Does this sound fair?
.... Ummm well " NO "
this is a bad joke, right?

 

Look for a better job

 

The charges at company I work for now are not hidden.What I have issue with is they want you to pay company tickets (my biggest issue is with my $750 bridge law ticket they took from my pay ,the ticket was written on company name not my name so I don't think.I should pay it)
They will take $150 for failed inspection (but give you $150 for passed one)
$100 for not making delivery (I am home every weekend and most often deliveries are scheduled for Monday but I don't think it's fair to require me to come to work just to make delivery I don't get paid for.They argue it's included in mileage pay).
The other one it was my first job and when I quit he took money from my pay saying that broker charged him for late delivery.True it was late but because lights in his trailer stopped working and besides I never agreed to pay any late delivery charges,I don't care what his deal with broker was).
Then he took lumpers fee saying that I gave him receipt too late.Also charged me for 2 lost load locks which I left at some warehause.Total $500.
All this was BS(except load locks),he made it up because he was mad I quit.It's not enough to take him to small claims court because as a corpo I have to have a lawyer (ridiculous,isn't it!?).
On the other hand since it was my first job I:
1.Caused an accident and damaged truck.
2.Broke 2 corners on Volvo.
3.Ripped off 1 trailer doors (just this was $250.)
He never took any money from me for that (partially because at the time of accident I was on W2.He wanted $1500 but I told him to get lost.)
So, for the peace of mind I kind of treat it as if we were even.But I still consider taking him to court whenever I remember my loss!

 

Geez sounds pretty hectic. I hope you everything works out for you.

 

Meant everything works out for you.
