I have found that the smaller trk stops will give you better customer service, and at times, better pricing on fuel. If what I'm hearing, and reading is true, then I'll use the smaller stops for the price and quaility of their fuel, and the bigger stops for their parking, and their other...

It is sad to hear of drivers getting the bad end of a situation with owners, but it is really bad when owners get the bad end. For them there is always a greater cash loss, than for a driver, due to equiptment downtime, hiring and training new people, ect. Each company that leases on trucks...

That is what is so sad about these types of situations, is that the owners so many ways to hide behind their greed. It seems most laws are set up to protect employers, not employees, unless you make $5hr or less. I'm sure there are some very good owners out there, but how do you find them?

I did put the owners name in a post, the intent was not to slander but to warn. Hard working drivers should never have to go home after 5wks of work and no money to feed his children. I do believe that both good owners, and good drivers have to be careful, there are bad apples on both sides...

The Owners name is Chaka Q. Campbell Professional Freight System / Steadfast Trucking 100 Camellia Lane Suite #136 Lithonia, Ga 30058 678-698-6624 This owner has no paperwork filed on me, he sent me a packet 4wks after i started working for him. He claims a check was mailed, that was 2 wks...

Has anyone ran I-70 across CO, if so, what should a driver, who has never ran it before, watch out for,and is it as bad as they say it is for T/T?

I agree, I will post whole story, because there is a female driver out of Springfield IL, who drove for the same owner, and went to orientation at Panther the same time I did. He accussed her of stealing money, put her out of the truck, at a Petro in Atlanta, and she ended up having her...

I will try that, thanks for the idea. Yea, I have no complaints at all concerning Panther, they kept me busy it's too bad the truck wasn't mine, I did pretty good with it, mileage wise, and was 100% across the dipatch boards, so I always got good runs, most times I always had another good run...

Yes, I have copies of my logs and delivery receipts, but no copies of the B.O.L. I guess my next step is to contact the IRS, and the GA DOT.

All my logs went to Panther, but I'm sure he got copies of them. The only paper work I made out was for Panther's records, he sent me a packet to fill out 4wks after I started with him, from an employee management firm in MN, but by that time, I had left the company. I was to fill out this...

Thanks for that info. This may be a dumb question, but do I file with the DOT in GA, or can I file with the one in my home state?

Thanks for the info about the options with the IRS, like I said before, I think he will try to file what he owes me with the IRS on a 1099, so I end up paying taxes on income I didn't receive. I think his plan is to get all the money, and have me pay all the taxes.

What I think he will do is, list me as a sub contractor when he files with the IRS, because he does not have a W-4 on file, usless he filed one with my signature forged. I have a copy of the contract on my computer, I also have the employee packet he sent me 4 wks after I started with him, no...

When I did the math, for the hrs I worked, I was way above the so living wage, so the dept of labor is unable to help me.

Panther has taken a hands off with this and any other driver owner pay problems.

I sought to get a copy of the contract, he is now avoiding my calls.

I ran it by OOIDA last week, and since I wasn't a member, they couldn't put it into collection themselves, but refered me to the Labor board in GA. Which the labor board suggested filing a small claims, because they only handle up to $5.35hr. Since I didn't have a W-4 filed with him, I wonder...

Hi everyone, Had my first experience in expediting by working for an owner who had tractors leased to Pantherii. Five weeks after I started rollin no paycheck, talked to owner of trk, he said check was mailed to hse, when I went home, no check. So I cleaned out my trk, no pay put hardship on...
