United Freight Lines, Chicago, IL

low life scum coward thieves. Owner has money in escrow owed to me and refuses to pay. He wont even give me the courtesy to return my calls, or text messages. His dispatcher acts as a go-between, for the owner and the drivers. No big surprise he lies and states he's not there, or the check was mailed, or other bs lies. The dispatcher has caller ID on the lines there, so he can decide who and when he wants to talk to drivers. Then lies and tells the owner that drivers aren't calling in and keeping in communication. The owner brags that he pays.38 cpm to start for 6months experience, but don't fall for it. I've seen driver's pay statements where empty miles were not paid, those drivers claim that wasn't in writing or agreed upon. He employs drivers under the guise of 1099 independent contractor, but obviously uses that as a way to dodge paying his fair share of taxes, proof? he'll give you an employee code of conduct agreement to sign that clearly says you must stay out for two weeks then you get 2 days off. I can could go on with more reasons, but I don't have documents to support that, don't want to say anything that I can't prove. Basically stay away from this company, sooner or later they will screw you over and cheat you out of rightfully earned money.

 

UPDATE the company is now operating under the new name "US Expressway & Logistics", Chicago, Il

 

In case of damage to his equipment. I was ignorant to what a "independant contractor" was until after I got screwed
