Funny they charge $25 for a phone call to get a tire fixed, yet nobody can tell us why.

they dont i had a flat trl tire once called em and they sent me up the road to the petro an they had it fixed.
I also trained 3 weeks with them and got paid every penny they owed me guess its what you make it out to be

So far I have been paid everything they promised me even training pay so I would say there's more to the story

They have wonderful deductions too! $25 per time you call safety (whom wont lift a finger to help you) for flat tires. $50 deduction to advance you money, of which they were 2 weeks behind on.

All I am saying is, if you expect to get paid right off, DONT! Dont expect them to go the extra mile for you. Yet if you dont go the extra mile for them they declare you hostile? LOL

I was expected to get on a greyhound to retrieve a abandoned truck. A recruiter had told me "I could call you a cab". So I waited for 3.5 hours. The boss walked by, he went and asked the recruiter, whom came to me and declared " I said I could, but if you need a taxi the phone book is just in the door". Nothing says motivation like some one who "could" but does not. (the pic is when I picked up before we detailed it)

You will get paid, some day. Just plan on them soaking you if you expect to get paid like the other workers. My trainer had said, the best way to make sure you get paid was to take the paperwork yourself to the terminal and hand it in yourself. That way the company couldnt declare (and yes they did for me) that the paperwork was misplaced and your paycheck will be along when they can find it.
