    D P Curtis, Richfield, Ut, not a good choice, trucks aren't bad, but the owner has a very bad temper and every employee is just one bad day away from losing there job, don't expect any help from dispatch or HR when you are ordered to do something crazy or stupid. Company can't seem to see the "big picture" and just seems to be "putting out fires" all the time (mostly by demanding drivers to do crazy or illegal things)

    Bad planning on someone else's part doesn't constitute an emergency on mine.

    D P Curtis will RIP U OFF!! They consider vacation pay and safety bonus money a "reward" not earned money. So if you quit ( even with notice) they will not pay you out the money you earn for vacation or safety bonus

    No company I've ever seen will pay you vacation pay unless you physically take those days off while still on their payroll and if was specified beforehand that it was a vacation. As for the bonus, if you left before the end of the specified time period that the bonus covers, they don't owe you that, either.

    Don't know they do things in your state .. But in my state, vacation pay and bonus pay are accrued wages and the employer is required to pay them on your last day of work.. D P
    Curtis is in Utah, and although
    they promise to pay vacation pay, they will not ..

    According to the internet (yeah I know) that is incorrect, at least about the vacation pay.

    http://www.employmentlawhandbook.com/leave-laws/state-leave-laws/utah/

    "Neither Utah’s Legislature nor its courts have given any significant guidance regarding other potential vacation policy issues. They are silent regarding whether an employer may:
    establish a policy or enter into a contract denying employees payment for accrued vacation leave upon separation from employment,
    deny payment for accrued vacation to an employee upon separation from employment if its policy or contract is silent on the matter,
    require an employee to comply with specific requirements to qualify for payment of vacation leave upon separation from employment, such as giving two weeks notice or being employed as of a specific date of the year"

    I've also found nothing stating whether or not the bonuses count as accrued wages, so I don't claim anything but prior dealings with companies in another state.
