mason dixon

I'm not understanding how you are placing blame for any of this on Mason Dixon.The O/O that hired you to drive his truck is the guilty party and the only one responsible for paying you.

 

What's this have to do with Mason Dixson? Tell us the rest of the story?

 

This isn't a Mason Dixon problem UNLESS they make it theirs by you writing them a letter outlining the problems in a more concise way to them so they can bring in the O/O and have a sit down with him.
Now what you REALLY need to do is start over and start a new thread with the owners name and city and even the name of his company or LLC but also add that information to this thread.
But as the others also said don't blame mason Dixon on this. Sometimes the company doesn't have a clue as to what the contractors are doing to their hired help!
You also need to send a complaint to his BBB in his county and state and also on Ripoff report and a few other trucking forums about this loser!
One other thing if he does give you a check but maybe with holds some extra money make a copy of the check and routing numbers because if you need to take him to small claims court you need these numbers if he doesn't pay you when he has to if you win and with those numbers and you take them to the court house they can file a garnishment against the guy and you get any money he has in that account totaling what he owes you.
The great thing about this is he'll start to bounce checks all over the place as he won't know about it until the banks letter arrives at his mailbox! I died laughing when it happened to an O/O back in 87 I had to drag to court! He lost all his equipment when they repoed them!

 

It sounds like there is more than this poster is telling. Most owner operators will take care of their drivers unless something else is going on. Mason Dixon doesn't have anything to do with this. You should have contacted Mason Dixon when you started having problems rather than walking away and abandoning the truck. I would expect that Mason Dixon would have been willing to help you and perhaps even find another owner operator who would hire you as long as you had a good record of pickup and deliveries with them.

 

Seems to me like Mason Dixon should have at least got a way for that load to get to the consignee . . .then backcharged the inconvenience to the o/o . .maybee even get the driver onto another fleet o/o or something . . . .right?

 

Yeah Skull . ..that's the right attitude! Just keep being safe- know your value 'cause this job really affords a great reward in knowing that we save companies hundreds of thousands of dollars by applying our safe techniques on these increasingly hazardous roads as well as (and more important) human lives . . .You can and should take every bit of credit for that!Nobody talks or seems interested in this fact but we drivers KNOW we do very good and noble work out here because we really care!
If we got paid based on how many lives saved and/or monies spared-you would all be very wealthy people indeed. But I say if you are a driver that cares and does these things for this great cause . . .YOU ALREADY ARE WEALTHY!Keep your head up! You are absolutely precious to the world! Our bros and sistas rely on our good senses-and it is something the companies can never lay claim to . . .it's ours and we should take pride in this-for it has a pure and REAL value . . .

 

All companies don't have someone with the certification requirements to do inspections.They send you to the TA or someplace that does.
