Dont be fooled by 12K sign on bonus at Quality Carriers Inc, San Antonio Tx

AMEN!!!!
There 1000s of examples just like this one ....... but some are $&@/$&
What part of this equation people do not understand???
These companies are here to make money!!! The more “o/o” do the job for them, they will continue abusing and exploiting you .
Do your own thing , be 100% independent, be freeeeeeee!!!

 

And as a company driver, get a big fat biblical lined journal with many pages.

Copy your load dispatches perfect into a page or two. With the necessary numbers.

Document the haul. Get a green or red x and check your pay slip carefully. Keep copies of the BOL associated with each load (After they are signed before they are turned in etc.)

When your pay is short, go see a DM somewhere in the company yard, open the big biblical journal and rattle off the trip numbers that are unpaid. See how his computer screen perfectly matches your page and you say two words.

Pay me. (Please)

 

Company terminal or franchise?

 

As someone who has never, and has no desire, owned a truck, I infer, from reading posts and talking with owner ops, that the only way to really be “independent “ is to have your own authority and book your own loads.

Pretty much all these o/o companies get the same complaints. You get to own your truck (YIPPY!), but other than that you will be a company man.

 

From what I understand, your experience with them is dependent on the terminal, similar to what I experienced at Knight. They are each their own independent business with their own customers. If you’re getting screwed at one terminal, you could try and transfer to a different one. I don’t know too much about QC or if that’s an option for you.

 

Yes, the company is your "pimp" so that makes you their _____ . If you don't like your "pimps" fees and overhead, find a new one, or sell yourself on the open market.

 

Yep .
Unfortunately, that type of “o/o” hurts this industry . Like someone here said . Their pimps are the one making money and setting the rules .
So , my advise will be : if you can’t handle to be 100% independent, then get out of this business. You are getting screwed and because of you we are getting screwed .

 

I will testify that what you said is the truth and nothing but the truth ! They are evil lying bastardized cheap cut throat motherless swindlers. They bought out the company I worked for and pillaged and raped my paycheck and benefits!

 

Sounds like the OP is an owner/operator or independent contractor.

Is the company run by Attila the Hun??
