Who pays dispatcher?

Well your situation is all ready shady. So basically its just more icing on the shady cake. If you are happy covering your employers expenses already, then this will just get more of the expenses off his plate. Just do like your employer and pay your dispatcher on a 1099. That way everyone is getting the shaft.(Except your employer, he will be laughing to the bank)

 

I no like this.

Company Owner gone crazy.

Find some other outfit fast. I don't mind participating in some sort of act that saves the company once in a blue moon but when they get into my wallet to subsidize a big mouth to tell me how badly to run a load.... it's all wrong. The pyramids would stand on the upside down. Let's make it right. Or get out.

Im sorry the owner is sunk on his expenses and payroll etc. If he cannot stand it then he can very well dispatch at the desk hisself. Which will help him alot with that phone therapy with all of you.

My writing is poor today, but there is that. Be the last day I pay wages of another out of my own. IF the company cannot make enough to meet all payroll, fire some people until they can. (And you get out of the way with a new job possibly.)

 

I know those good guys with vacation homes and boats in FL - good for you because you make his life good with your own expense. Dispatcher's pay is his lousy obligation. Idk what you got to lose, if you leave him or he fires you but first I hear that a driver, even on 1099, pays for a dispatch.

 

If you’re paid on a 1099 you don’t have workers comp.

 

Look if it is in the contract, great, he can do it but if it is NOT in the contract, then it is his problem.

But if you don't have a contract, then find a place that has one because it is absolutely stupid not to have one with any carrier and fmcsa regs, there has to be one.

 

What will be next? You pay half the fuel bill? Just because it would be a deduction doesn’t mean it will put money in your pocket.

 

It is not the point it's in the contract or not, or legal or not. The point is this is BS and f. that good guy as he calls him!

 

The good guy pays them on 1099, gives them no insurance, probably has no occupational insurance either, surly he's got a contract that indemnifies him from any driver's injuries at work, now he wants them pay for dispatch ... I know these good businessmen; when a driver gets killed they won't even pay for his burial. When a driver survives and is crippled and shows up for some aid, they will call cops on him. I have seen it all.
