GTS Transport Willowbrook IL - BEWARE!!!

This forum serves the purpose of informing other drivers of conditions of companies... you're free to attempt to defend yourself, but the truth about your setup was already stated.

Nobody spoke of you're requirement of forming a corporation until I was face to face with Olga. It is required for all of your drivers, company or otherwise.

Yes, I have been hired over the phone with a job offer letter to follow shortly thereafter.

Your bonuses for passing an inspection vs what you charge your drivers for infractions is ridiculous.(feel free to share all of the fees)

The truck you attempted to place me in had what....800k on it?..physical damage...a non-working engine brake....abs issues...and one other thing that escapes me..

You're requirement of your sub contractor ("company drivers") to establish a corporation in order to get a check from you absolves you of a lot of liability..... just as a rental car company is not held responsible should someone that rented a car caused an accident, neither is a carrier that requires their drivers to operate under a corporation..

You've allegedly been in business for all of ten years... you haven't been caught in your underhanded practices yet..... and no matter how many "walls" (per your explanation of requiring the corporations) you set up that put drivers at risk.....you'll eventually get caught.

 

I was quickly able to find a dedicated turn from Michigan to kc.... 3200 miles a week....home every weekend... .41 a mile....w2.... so I think I'm good

 

They require all of their drivers to obtain a corporation....not just o/o's. They are not the type of company that would repair all necessary repairs to make the truck dot compliant..... they had literally just "purchased" (there was a lease agreement in the truck from another carrier they had JUST signed), and claimed that it be 100% road ready..

They run paper logs, and they expect you to cook the books. The fines are more geared towards tickets than logs....despite what the owner stated. So as a refresher, if their truck is messed up somehow and is placed out of service....you pay thousands!! If you pass a full inspection, you get like $50 .... I don't call that being compensated.

A corporation is the only way to go if you're an o/o...... but being hired on as a company driver?.... it's solely to push all of the liability off of the company onto their driver at that point.......which is both illegal, and wrong.

 

If someone is going to purchase a truck, and has the down payment, then I wouldn't fault anything that they're doing. But to force a "company" driver to establish a corporation to evade taxes and/or potential lawsuits due to driver negligence.....it simply doesn't add up.
