You're not the first I've heard say this. Even before fuel prices went up.

 

How long did you hang around this rotten apple?

Here's some heads-up advice to any driver......if your outfit pays you by check, don't deposit the check in your own account. Take it to the bank it's drawn on and cash it, and then take the mulla to your own bank and deposit it in your account. You can even do this if you both use the same bank. If the company's bank won't cash the check, you have a bargaining position. If and when this problem happens, you can call them on it. You can also shut 'er down and simply sit until you get paid if they try to make excuses. Depositing their check into your account allows them to stiff you. And if they do stiff you, it could be a couple of weeks before you know it. Weeks you could be giving them free labor and maybe other things.

Man, NEVER spend your own money on somebody else's truck. NEVER. Never buy fuel, parts, or even lumpers. Get COMchecks for all that or sit until you do.

 

That's a shame, I always enjoyed seeing their trucks and thought they were a stand up outfit. Come to think of it I really miss seeing the Rhett Butler trucks and trailers. Sure beats my plain Jane looking rig.

 

how many truck/trailers do they run? does anybody know?

 

what ever happened to rhett butler trucking?

 

Went past their yard in AL not to long ago. I saw some trucks sitting in it and some personal cars. Just haven't seen them on the road.

 

My husband worked for this company for six months. Last year, he only brought home $7 in the month of December, after they took out his weekly child support. I understand that sometimes it gets slow in the trucking industry due to the current situations in our economy, but give me a freakin break! He injured himself on the job a few months after Christmas, the safety officer told him that he couldn't file it under worker's comp, but the owner of the company told him to file it under their group insurance and he would reimburse his copays for the dr. visits. He did that only to find that their check to the insurance company had bounced and they didn't have insurance anymore. This really sucked not only for my husband but there were two other drivers that had very serious health conditions, one being a massive stroke and the other was cancer. That's a good time not to pay your bills and take care of your employees. We are still battling this worker's comp thing, and since the owner of the company lied about what he told my husband to do as far as going to the dr., the labor board is still denying the claim. So, on top of no miles, bounced paychecks, and the insurance being canceled, the owner called my husband up, asked if he got his injury taken care of, then proceeded to tell him once he was medically able to do so, he would like for him to come back to work for them! OMG!!! I told my husband if he does, we're getting a divorce, and he's getting a brain scan!
