oakley trucking, watch out

Not to mention when they buy your tags they think its their truck, you work for them. If you got a backbone they make you give it to them or you want be there long. Driver above is right greedy greedy people and getting worse by the day

 

well if they do violate leasing laws, and your signed contract states 1 amount and your pay stub says otherwise, then I would be contacting an attorney and or ooida, they love those truth in leasing cases. good luck.

 

Are you talking bout

1. Bruce Oakley Trucking
2. Oakley trucking ( the tank outfit )

Just curious

 

I was thinking the same thing but im pretty sure hes talking about bruce oakley out of arkansas judging by his post

 

What are the chances you'd find their lawyer....lol

You should've played the lottery too!

 

Found their attorney? Sounds like a trucker story to me.

 

Deputy881 you are so full of ####. I was leased on their for nine months even though I did not agree with some of their policy's it is in writing they don't hide anything. Right their in black and white, they held one week and then pay every week after that, most all company's do this. Physical and drug screen is in print stating you need a new one and you pay for it. You have a choice run under their tag and they pay for it or run under your own base plate. If you have work done in their shop you are told what it will cost because it is all written done in a work order and you have a copy.

You say Arkansas state law says they cannot charge an employee for drug testing or physical well Einstein you or any contractor are not an employee. What has happen Einstein here leased on and didn't read anything, I bet you didn't even take the time to read the leasing contract you just signed it because you was ready to hit the road. I would bet money your attorney story is BS and you waited 45 days like the rest of us to get your ending settlement after you quit. These company's don't spend thousands and thousands of dollars to attorneys to draw up some lease that is illegal.

I was leased to Oakley for nine months and enjoyed most of it and they had the freight and miles never had to lay over because of slow or no freight. I liked working for a 100% owner operator company with one of the best safety records in the industry but I don't like to be treated as a company driver with a truck payment.

I just hope you read your lease agreement at Mercer and understand their policy's, they have charges to.

 

I was hoping you'd chime in on this.

I do remember hearing about that law in AR about companies having to pay for drug screen and physical, but never heard the outcome of it.
