    Maybe he's preoccupied with the tragedy of your inability to spell.

    If you dont have a checking account they put it on the comdata card, call the number on the back and see how much might be on the card, if you do have an account and he signed up for direct deposit its in your account. or if he has no money being paid at all look for trip money he has taken off his card for advances while he was on the road, if he took to much money for advances he used it all and it was paid back from his pay.. thats all i can think of why hes not getting paid, if its on the comdata you need to go to a atm to get it, first call the number on the card ands set it up with a pin before going to the atm.

    Some people think the advances for food, etc will not come off of their pay.

    While I was otr with May I never took an advance because I did not want to spend my check before I actually go it.

    If I was low on money in my checking account or cash in my pocket I did not buy stuff .

    Also If I was low on money then guess what I did not eat three meals a day and did not have snacks.

    Alot of the time I only ate one meal a day to conserve money and to get the miles in so I could drop off that load and get another.

    I looked at it like this

    More loads More miles = More money:yes2557:

    It would be wise for everyone not to use their card for advances if they do not need to.

    Alot like those dumb 'payday loan' places. You get a payday loan cause you are short, or because you 'want' something and cant wait for the next paycheck, then you're just dumb. You have to then get a payday loan for the payday loan to make it to your next check. you then have to go either 2 or 4 weeks between pay in order to get out from under it.

    not good.....

    but i agree....more loads = more miles = more money.

    Correction! It gives one out of 22,000 people's insight into how they worked for HIM.

    Interesting note! The last time the originator of this post was on here was when she posted the thread. Kind of makes you wonder about the story.

    During my shortb stay with Swift,I had many problems. However not being paid was not one of them. One thing concerning pay, was that everytime I crossed the Mississippi River they dropped my pay scale. As someone elsec here posted,if your hubby has a couple years good driving experience ,he can go to work for just about anybody.

    And the advantage for those of us who live west of the Mississippi River is that every time WE crossed the Mississippi River they raised ours.
