You may be right. The right to offer per diem is up to them. But when their drivers are specifically told 4 to 5 times they are entitled to it and then when it comes time to pay it make up some excuse to get out of it that is low. And also I agree you need to be looking for other employment if you cant make it out there. But when drivers are told one thing and the exact opposite happens, it is not the drivers fault. If you cant count on your owner then who can you count on? Trust is a major issue in this business.
Sir..trust has been an issue in trucking since the horse and buggy days....there is a long history of carriers screwing over drivers and even drivers scrwing drivers and carriers doing each other...there is nothing new there...
These guys and their shady companies move around with near impunity...and mostly it is us drivers fault....most drivers O/O's neither have the time nor the resources to hold these guys accountable....it is a bad cycle...
