    I have been working for this company for 9 months. I am doing a dedicated run. It has been ok for the most part. Always calling in about moneis that are owe to me. But, as any trucker knows, this is not an abnormal issue. I received a call from my fleet manager last thursday. He told me that they were cutting my detetion pay. Siting that the company has been paying me too much money. Wow!

    Who didn't see this coming? Aren't they the ones who recently hyped their new automatic detention pay program to attract drivers?

    Oh well. Another plan not thought all the way through.

    Working for this place was the worst mistake i made in the trucking industry. All talk and no action. Was to run all 48 but the only thing i saw the time i worked there was ca,or, and wa. Please dont believe what is on back of trailers, work for the best, should read work for the worst.

    It is not normal to have to call the company about money owed to you. A good company will pay you correctly with the occasional hiccup.

    you gotta blame the railroad.
    How many times have you loaded, ebound loads, only to drop the trailer at the rail yard?

    Your response should have been: "OK, so where do I turn in the truck?"
