I've Been Fired And Stuck In Dallas Texas KLLM

I Came To Kllm In June 2007. It Was An Ok Company. I Was Getting Paid For Detention, Layover. I Was Getting Ok Miles Most Of The Time. There Were Weeks Where I Wasnt Getting Miles But Every Company Has Slow Weeks. When I Wasnt Getting Miles I Was Getting Compensated For It. For Example If I Got A 500 Mile Run And It Couldnt Deliver For Two Days They Would Give Me 100$ On Top Of The Miles. Well Then 2 Months Ago I Found Out I Was Pregnant. The Story Totally Changed. I Went Home For 4 Days, I Was Parked At A Truck Stop My Dispatcher Called Me At 3:30 Told Me I Needed To Go Move My Truck Or They Were Going To Tow It Cause It Was In A No Parking Zone. So I Went Up To The Truck Stop And The Truck Had Been Towed At 1230 That Day. I Talked To The Owner, It Was A Small Truck Stop In The Country. He Told Me He Had Called Kllm Cause The Truck Had Been There For 4 Days And Thought Maybe It Was Abandoned So He Called And They Told Him Yes. So It Cost 2400$ To Get The Truck Out Of Storage (it Was In There For Two Days Cause Kllm Kept Giving Me The Wrong Paper Work To Pick The Truck Up) I Was Charged For It, 100$ A Week Was Coming Out Of My Check To Pay Them Back. Well Then I Was Getting 1500 Miles A Week Since Then, I Had Not Gotten A Check Over 200 Dollars All Of January And The Rest Of Feb. Then I Went Home On Feb 8 For My Doctors Appoitment. On Monday Morning I Was In My Truck Ready To Roll. I Sat In My Truck 5 Miles From My House For 6 Hours Before I Got A Load, It Didnt Pick Up Till Tuesday At 10am And Didnt Deliver Till Wed At 0900. It Was A Little Over 200 Miles I Think? It Was From Houston Texas To Ennis Texas, I Thought No Big Deal, They Will Get Me To Dallas Or Fort Worth And Get Me A Decent Load. No, I Got A Load That Didnt Pick Up Till 11 On The 13th, And It Picked Up In Fort Worth, And Had To Go To Albany Ms. 564 Miles. It Delivered At Walmart And If You Have Ever Delivered At Walmart You Know You Cannot Deliver Early. Well The Load Didnt Deliver Till The 14th At 1805. That After Driving Plus The Dead Head Was 30 Hours To Sit On The Load After I Got To Albany. That Is In 4 Days A Little Over 700 Miles. I Sent A Message To My Dispatch, Asking If I Could Drop This Load Off Somewhere And Get A Better Load I Needed More Mile He Told Me No To Pu Load And Roll I Told Him Am I Getting Anything Extra For This Cause That Was Ridiculus, Not Acceptable. He Told Me To Roll With The Load I Was Not Getting Paid For The Load Exxtra Cause It Was After All With Dead Head A Whole 600 Miles And That Should Be Enough. I Refused The Load And Got Fired. No Big Deal Really, It Sucks Because I Am Going To Be A Single Mother And Needed All The Money I Could Get, But Hey #### Happens Right? Well I Get To Dallas On The 13th, They Havent Gotten Me A Bus Ticket (which If They Fire You They Are Required To Give You A Bus Ticket) I Was Sleeping In My Truck Because Where Else Was I Going To Do, They Told Me They Would Find Me A Ride On Thursday Or Get Me A Bus Ticket Which I Will Be Paying For.....not That I Was Getting A Check Anyways. Well I Was Sleeping Minding My Own Buisness, I Had All My Stuff Packed And Ready To Go. Well At 4 This Morning The Night Dispatcher Was Banging On My Door Like There Was No Tommorrow, I Woke Up (by The Way Im Not A Morning Person-especially 4 Oclock In The Morning Person) Told Me I Needed To Get Out Of The Truck I Asked Him What Am I Going To The Hotel He Said No But Another Driver Needs Your Truck And Your Gonna Have To Get Out I Asked Did You Get Me A Ride To Houston Or A Bus Ticket He Said No Now Get Out Of The Truck Or Im Calling The Police, I Said Where Am I Going To Go What Am I Supposed To Do He Walked Off Well I Already Got 2 Bags Out Of My Truck, Only Aloud To Carry 10 Pounds Or Less Because Of The Baby And The Police Showed Up. The Officer Asked Me What Was Going On And I Was Like He Woke Me Up Very Rudely Told Me To Get Out Of The Truck So Another Driver Can Have My Truck The Officer Was Like Why And I Was Like Well I Got Fired And Waiting For A Bus Ticket Or Ride Home And He Was Like Ok? So I Was Getting Out Of My Truck One Bag At A Time. Then I Came In And Called The Main Office In Jackson Asking For A Bus Ticket Or Something Cause This Was Ridiculus Being Kicked Out Of My Truck At 4 In The Morning Have No Ride Home And They Told Me Not There Problem I Could Call Someone At 730 In The Morning. So Thats Where Im At I Am Sitting Here Waiting For A Ride Home After Being Fired!!!

 

Sorry Im Not Going To Be Getting Workers Compensation, I Am Over Weight My Blood Pressure Is Eleveted And The Doctor Doesnt Want Me To Strain Over To Much. I Wasnt Fired Because I Could Lift Anything I Was Fired Because I Refused To Accept Only 700 Miles In A 4 Day Period As Being Acceptable, No I Cant Carry Alot Of Things Out Of My Truck At One Time, That Was Already After I Been Fired, Maybe If You Would Have Read The Bulletin That Was Posted You Would Have Seen That Was After The Fact.
