    Balkan Express LLC., 2560 E. Long Ave, Fort Worth, Texas 76137 has retained my last paycheck to the tune of $ 1400.00 and claim I didn't clean out my truck when I parted with Balkan. The exterior/interior of the 2014 Volvo 780 was spotless when I parted with Balkan, spotless to the point of you could eat off the floorboard.
    Ze Karic, flunky, ie: owner claims I owe a $ 1000.00 insurance deductible for damages I caused in a minor accident to another vehicle ? Isn't that why man created insurance ? I never signed a waiver stating I would pay any deductible for any accident in a company vehicle. The only waiver I signed was for a rim I bent on a trailer, I brushed up beside a fire hydrant and bent the rim. Fire hydrant was not damaged nor was the tire.

    Side Note: I heard through the grapevine Balkan Express LLC. and Gorjana Karic's family are associated with the Russian Mob. I don't know the truth to this but it doesn't surprise me. How does a small 11-12 yr. old company buy 100 brand new fully loaded Volvo & Freightliner trucks & over 400 brand new Wabash trailers ?

    Why did you go to work for a company named Balkan Express owned by a bunch of Russians in the first place?

    Zlatan Karic is my dad. Please don't talk smack about him. He's an honest businessman. Shame on you sir.

    People from the Balkans are known for their great driving abilities. Next to JB Hunt they are the greatest at the art of driving 50 in the Chicago hammer lane.
    However JB Hunt has nothing on people from the eastern block when it comes to keeping equipment going. I mean when I see one of those white volvos with missing fenders and flat tires, carrying a lopsided rail car, WOW!! One day when I hope to get into business with those people.

    Also to be fair, New trucks and trailers aren't evidence of mob affiliation. Just as man created insurance, he also created leverage, and private investors.
    With fuel prices so low, I think a lot of short sighted money is being pumped into trucking right now.

    It's funny how all Eastern Europeans are still called Russians. Balkan people have their own mafia, haven't you watched movie Taken?

    You say you parked the 780 all cleaned up but you post a picture of a 670. They are not Russian they are from Bosna I Hercegovina. Why is it so strange that a 12 year old company is buying new equipment.
