    You would be wise to avoid going to work for Hirschbach Motorlines.They
    dont reimburse tolls,wont get you home for time off when you request it,
    and will take fines out of your paycheck for log violations.They expect you
    to run illegaly on your log books and thier biggest customers "Tyson " and
    "Americold" have a habit of loading freight that makes it overweight and you will frequently have to have it reloaded.Their business is to lease trucks to ignorant drivers that dont know any better and get the company
    drivers to haul the crap loads the lease drivers wont haul.I am sure they have some satisfied drivers but i did not meet to many when i worked for
    them.On a scale of "1 to 10" I give them a "2",know what i mean...

    Can you provide documentation to substantiate that they do not pay tolls? In addition, how did they communicate to you that you were expected to run "illegally". Did you DM verbally instruct you to run illegally? Please provide additional details!

    Documentation? <Insult Removed>i dont care if you
    belive anything i post on this web site or not.This companys safestat
    score speaks for itself just check it at http://safer.fmsca.dot.gov/Company Snapshot.aspx
    This is one of the worst companies i ever drove for.If you noticed i
    dont provide any personal information about myself on this website
    because i know that trucking companies read the stuff that gets
    posted here and they will try to screw you when you go try to get
    another job.I provided this information so that other truck drivers that
    are looking for a job wont waste their time on this low life company.If
    you want drive for them go for it.

    While I have heard some bad things about Hirschbach, I wonder why you are surprised that they would require you to repay a cash advance/comcheck for a logbook fine you recieved. I dont know of a company anywhere that covers a drivers logbook fines. They may try to push you to run too hard, but it is still up to you to say youcant log it. No company pays a drivers log fines.

    they really dont need to say anything,its implied..when youre w/ a company w/ a safestat score that is 90% for log related violations,maintenance etc,its a given that theyre --requiring-- their drivers to blatantly run illegally.

    This company did not pay a fine to anyone for me.I have been through
    plenty of DOT inspections in my driving carrier but i was never given a
    inspection while i was employed by Hirschbach.If your logs dont match
    the "People Net" the saftey department will fine you $150.00 for every
    violation.This is the only company i ever heard of that does this but of
    coure they dont tell you they do this until after you are hired by them.
    They did not pay any comcheck or give me any advance to cover any
    fines this is a type of punishment devised by the saftey department.If
    you dont believe me call the safety dept,at 800-228-8607 EXT#2267
    and ask Their safety director.

    Illegal! No company can deduct anything from your check unless you sign a form allowing them to do so. Even when it comes to taxes, you sign to allow a company to deduct the taxes. Now the problem is if you are willing to go to the trouble to fight this illegal act. You could contact the labor board in the state that the paycheck was issued(probably a waste of time) or you can go to small claim court to recover any money that a company has illegally taken out of your pay.
