What would you do?

So I'm a Stevens Transport driver. Finishing my 1 year contract in 2 days. So I just recently submitted three trips that I did in a week. I was giving my paycheck stub telling me that the company was paying me $546 for the three runs. Awesome. Not the best but not the worst. But I digress. 2 days ago I go to draw the money out the money is not there. I tried to draw the money out yesterday the money wasn't there. I tried again today and conveniently the money still isn't there. So at this point I'm calling and raising hell. And they tell me that a receiver had forgotten to sign one piece of paper for one of the trips. Also note this is the exact same trip that I had to unload an entire trailer full of plants and trees virtually by myself. So as a result they have Frozen the paycheck for all the trips until the receiver sign that one piece of paper. Now the first two days I feel I was more than generous and understanding. But now that it's day 3 and still no pay and they're still telling me that it could be up to a week my question is what would you do? I'm already leaving the company because I'm tired of all the BS Antics they pull. But should Stevens Transport in your personal opinion be holding all of my paycheck for all three trips or just for the one the receiver forgot to sign the one paper for?

 

you and I know both know that. But Stevens doesn't give a ####.

 

honestly it's a very small paper easily overlooked. And all it had on it was a product's name. That I know was there and delivered cuz I'm the one who unloaded the #### thing

 

Well I wouldn't be in this predicament if our drivers could do proper post and pre-trip maintenance, not to mention getting me actual miles. My miles went from about 2,500 in a week to just over 1,500. And in that week I've been at the TA 5 times with five different trailers that drivers have dropped off in various states of disrepair. Shipper loads them up I get assigned that load and conveniently the trailer is broken. Trailer 1: missing mudflap. Trailer 2: electrical box for lights almost ripped out of trailer. Trailer 3: no hub grease and our mechanics liberated my tool for doing that myself when I was on the yard last time. Trailer 4: steel bands showing on tire. Trailer 5: wind skirt bracket broken so the wind skirt was sticking out. And I don't get paid for all these trailers I have to keep taking to the repairs shops.

Not to mention the driver that dropped off a reefer trailer with no reefer fuel and the shipper loaded the load onto it before realizing the trailer had no fuel.

 

lol actually I need to learn mechanics tbh. I can fix a truck problem usually. But some of the other repairs I need to learn how to do. As far as your second question no I did not deliver to Home Depot. It was a load coming out of Georgia going to Fort Worth Dallas area. I had three deliveries I had to make of which the first two went off without a hitch. But it seems the third and final delivery forgot to sign that one paper
