Take about five minutes to talk to the Smithway Express recuiters and they will promise you the world to include detention pay! What a crock!
I drove for Smithway (flat-bed division) previously for about six months. I never saw the first check for being detained at or by a customer. I therfore quit working for Smithway.
Some three months later I received a letter from Smithway asking their old drivers to come back. I questioned Smithway about my back pay and they said they would take care of it. I figured I'd give it a chance. BOY AM I STUPID! I figured all the hours I was at my customer and professionalism that I had shown toward my customers, that Smithway would have shown me the same courtesy to me by paying me for being detained by thease customers.
Just a fact, If I'm not rolling I'm not making any money. You would think the least Dean Anderson could do is pay his employees as his company had promised for detention. I even wrote a letter to Dean Anderson and he doesn't even have the guts to write me back or give me a straight answer. What a coward!
So don't belive everything they tell you. I considered detention time as supplimental to me regular pay for being there for Smithway. Dean Anderson is a lier. You still owe me and others thousands for being there for you! What a Crook you and your outfit became!
