Crete Carrier sent me emails soliciting drivers. The emails stated that they will pay drivers with 1 to 2 years experience 41 cents per mile. When I called the recruiter, my recruiter told me that I would be paid 40 cent per mile. I made it clear that I lived in Florida my recruiter told me he would send me to their Deland FL terminal. When I drove 40 miles to the terminal, I was put up in a motel for 2 days for 2 days of pre-orientation. On the 2nd day of pre-orientation, my fleet manager told me they would start me off with 37 cent per mile. I reported the deceitful emails to the fleet manager's boss.
He told told me to forward my email to him and he would deal with the situation. I forward the email to him and he ignored the email. I called to ask him did he receive my email and he said he did. I sent him another email asking him to respond. He ignored that email too. I sent a letter to the HR Dept and filed a complaint with the government. I am waiting for the out come. I should get my 41 cent per mile pay because I have it in writing that Crete sent me. They sent that deceptful email to me about 4 times. The fleet manager and the fleet manager's boss began to send me nonsense qualcomm messages which I feel was harassment. But they will not intiminate me into silence.
I filed a complaint against the fleet manager and the fleet manager's boss with the HR Dept. I also filed a complaint with the government. It is one thing to lie verbally to perspective drivers but Crete put their lies in writing in emails. Their excuse for not paying me 41 cent is because I live in FL. But that should be in writing in the emails they send to Floridians. I did not leave when I found out about the pay because I did not want to give them the power of had wasting my gas and time then turn around and drive another 40 miles home empty handed. I decided to battle the deceitful emails and get them to honor their emails because it is in writing.
