    As usual with trucking companies making promises up front to get you in the door and then switching up or denying the promise was ever made. Then the Logbook manipulations, where drivers were made to drive longer than legally possible. Lastly the way they make stuff up to try not to pay you what they owe you. If I worked that day I should get paid for that day. Not at Truckers America, they will try to weasel out of paying you making up excuse after excuse and there's no time off, NONE!

    They say they are not like all the other trucking companies, but in fact they are! Don't listen to the lies to get you in the door, its all ########!

    that little computer in the truck prevents over hours driving. Unless you like hearing it go off saying hos violations.

    Firstly, not all trucking companies operate this way. Not all recruiters lie. The last 3 jobs I’ve had, I was treated like gold and not lied to.

    I left one because there were better paying opportunities to drive stateside at the time. It was my best paying job up until that time, but after nearly 5 years my circumstances had changed and the boss was upfront that he couldn’t match what I was being offered.

    I left the second one for a job that pays better and gets me home weekly instead of biweekly. All 3 jobs turned out to be exactly what they were pitched as, and my tastes changed over time.

    As far as HOS and ELD manipulation goes, if that’s a factual accusation, you should report it. If it’s not true, you should consider deleting that part of your comment as you’re liable to be sued for defamation. It’s a crime to falsely accuse any legal entity of criminal behaviour.

    It's illegal, and you officially file a complaint per FMSCA.
