I believe that! I worked for a company that paid .40/mile or $800.00 guaranteed if you weren't dispatched a min of 2000 miles per week. They eliminated the "guarantee" and then systematically got rid of most of the drivers that would qualify for it. They now pay new hires .34/mile, no guarantee. Most weeks drivers average less that 1500 miles. Don't work for Mcleod!!!

Theres got to be a way to beat companies that do this i would immediatly contact a lawyer the moment the company does this and get it all legal so you've got proof of all these actions either that or keep a diary it get all notorized again as proof . yeah based on what you've said is true i'd be staying clear of Florelli for sure if you want a good honest company to work for try LW Miller in Logan Ut i never ever had a issue with them regarding pays and no you don't have to live in Ut we had one driver based in Missouri .
Anyways wish you well in your persuit for justice .

This company is a joke and this is one of three I didn't last more than a month with. I hired on through TLC in 2004 and the company was screwed up from the moment I got there. It's offices were in a Barn and this crazy chick named Aaron, my dispatcher started insulting me the moment we met. They give you routes to use and it's crazy out of route miles to avoid scales and tolls. I did three trips to the East coast for them. Wasn't allowed to use the IN, OH, or PA turnpike. They fought me to the point I refused to run unless they would pay NJ turnpike because I didn't want to run on side roads in Jersey because the cops hassle you and 4 wheelers cut you off. I froze my butt off because they used a fulel optimizer and were strict about it. I feared running out of fuel so I didn't idle and it was winter. I got real sick there and when I started adding up the miles I drove via thier routes V/S the miles I was getting paid I got out of thier truck. I don't regret it either, it was 16% or higher in unpaid miles because of the scale/toll avoiding and fuel routing. All the companies that TLC staffs for are cheaters and cheap. TLC does the payroll and HR for Florilli and they are the ones who mess it up and some people like it and other have big problems. OH yeah in my final settlement from TLC the NJ turnpike refund they promised me was witheld and listed as unauthroized toll.

When you pay household movers guide a driver should be allowed to take the shortest route to delivery. You guys back then gave me routes based on fuel stops and avoiding tolls/scales. The reason several companies pay practical miles now is because they lost in class action suits for what you guys do. Sooner or later a group of people you guys rip off are going to get a lawyer and a class action up, just ask Swift, CRETE who pays practical miles because they lost a suit doing what you do.
Requiring a driver to take routes hundreds of miles out of route to avoid a scale because your either over weight or have bad equipment is reason enough to shut you guys down. Doing it to save $10 in fuel while screwing the driver out of $40 in out of route miles is reason enough for no one to work for you. You never been to NJ, your probally that mouthy chick Aaron whom everyone knew and hated I talked to. The roads are the most route restricted in the country and built 50 years before 53ft trailers. You guys are just willing to steal from your drivers via forcing longer than needed routes on them and compromise the public saftey for a few more cents on the profit margin. This 2010 is going to put companies like you out and good bye!!
Lastly, your not a driver, what are you doing on here? All those companies you listed as examples require driver to drive the SHORTEST routes, even if it is a Toll road. You guys don't by your own ommission.
