I worked for Twin Cities Trucking which is also Midwest Frieght Lines for 6 weeks. When I started I thought Kindra and Jesse Herd were nice people, (I have never been more wrong in my life). Thier trucks are dangerous (they wanted me to drive from Topeka KS to Michagan with a trailer that has cracked drums pieces missing out of drums, breaks that were no good, one completly not working. The truck leaking oil (had to put 2 gallons of oil in every day). Leaking air, wheel seal out, no ac, clutch needed to be replaced, and 8 bald tires.
When I first started with Twin Cities I was teaming with my dad we ran 4000 miles and my paycheck was only $370.00 (that was the highest check I recevied) I went solo thinking I could make more money by myself I was so wrong.
I went from Savanna Ga to Yacima Wa a trip that was over 2800 miles. On this trip My truck broke down with a major engine problem. Kindra and Jesse put me up in a hotel with my dog for a couple of days. They then flew me home. I told Jesse since I have my dog just send ethier my dad or my friend to come and get me. Jesse said he wanted to fly me home. I was not able to bring my dog with me on the plan because he does not like new people. I had to leave him in Wa with the manager at the hotel. I came home and they wanted me to go to Michagin not Washington to get my dog. I found out on the Michigan trip that my dog (my best friend) died. I would still have him if they just sent someone to come get me.
I received my paycheck for the Washington trip and it was $67.32. They said the trip was only 1400 miles not over 2800 miles. The paycheck for the Michagain trip was $32.37. The gross was $274.14 they put my federal taxes at 33.5% which was $91.00 all toghter the taxes came to $171.00 for a $274.14 gross check, how can that be? The check he gave me was not singed so I had to run to the truck stop on the Turnpike to meet him and have it signed. He then told me he did the wire transfere late so the check might not be able to be cashed. I went to his bank and they told me they could not cash the check becasue there was not enough money in the account. I had to go to the dillons on Shawnee Mission Parkway to get cash for the check. I spent $20.00 in gas driving around to meet them for my pay. I talked to Jesse and told him my check is wrong he said he would look at it. The next day Kindra called me to tell me to call Jesse. I called Jesse and he said the check was right. How can that be $171.00 in taxes for $274.14 gross? I quit that day and got another job. No more being screwed over in pay.
