Bison Transport, so diabolical, so evil.

Visit the terminal manager at his home about dinner time and make it clear why you are there. Hopefully his family are there so yell loud so they are aware of how much of a ...............
he is. I collected years ago from a guy in Southern Ontario the same way. His wife was settling up with cash when he came home.
Beyond me why employees of companies rip off strangers, for what. Brown nosing their superiors who will hang them out to dry at the drop of a hat.

 

Well you guys are from Canada so things are different there. I do like your methology by the way.

Down here its good to have a concealed carry permit. Show up with a gun around dinner time along with a Deputy Sheriff with his gun. 2 guns sticking out plus a member of law enforcement will scare people.

At that point they have 3 options:

1) Get arrested
2) Get shot
3) Pay any money owed.

Normally they opt for choice 3.

First, don't do anything as foolish as those mentioned in these posts. Second check your employee handbook, your company probably has a separation process. Wait for that process to take it's course. This may include an inventory of all company equipment and an exit interview. Third refer to the company handbook to see when your final check will be disbursed, it might be mailed to you, or you might have to pick it up in person. Even if you have direct deposit chances are your final check will be a paper one.

Let us know how this all turns out, and best of luck with your new company.

 

Almost eleven years with Bison on my side.

Were they all flawless? No. But they never missed a payday. For the last 7 years, I'm an O/O with them. Paydays are the 15th and the last day of the month. If one of those should happen to be on weekends, the money was always paid on Friday, never on Monday.

A similar situation that I know of happened to a friend of mine. About half of a week was missing on his paycheck. He brought it to their attention and got it paid next week.
Just running away without trying to find a solution is not the proper way.
Crying on the internet is no solution either.

I'm sure you'll have it on your final paycheck if you brought the problem to your fleet manager's attention.

 

My ,my, you are just full of great, hands on advice. Let me know how that works out for you, when (and if) you ever attempt that scenario.

 

This sounds about right. I have never been stiffed for money.
Sure they make mistakes at times, but I just brought it to their attention and it would get straightened out.
As stated, some companies may hold some money until some period of time so that a final settlement would be issued.
I did work for one carrier though that actually had an “90 day estoppel “ clause in the contract.
Meaning that if by 90 days you did not bring an error to their attention, then the amounts paid would be considered correct and you would have no further recourse to collect.

thats exactly the stereotype many of our canadian neighbors have of us
its total BS
if you had a permit and a weapon the sheriff would have taken both from you
there are very few incidents of permit holders brandishing weapons

 

So sorry about your situation! I don't know how it works in Canada, but please DON"T show up with a gun or you're going to prison. In the USA if you quit you have to wait until the next pay day to get your pay check and you forfeit your Vacation days. If you're fired then they have to pay right then and you get your vacation pay also. Look I your Handbook and if you can't find your answer go to the Human Resource at he company. Good Luck!

 

That scenario has not happened and hopefully will not play out. Do you actually think someone wants to use Force (deadly or otherwise) on another person?

Its called Law Enforcement.

Bottom line is dont screw Drivers. Message to all companies. .. just dont do it.
