This company unfairly pays its employees. PTI transports railroad workers as a taxi service. I, along with all of my co-workers work 12 hour shifts and our average pay averages out to $1.50-$3.00 an hour. We are expected to be on call for those 12 hours and we only get paid when our dispatch calls us with a crew to transport. We get paid for the mileage we drive, along with compensation for having to wait for the railroad workers to board the vehicle. We DO NOT get paid while we are in the company van waiting for the dispatcher to tell us we have rail crew. I have worked 12 hour shifts and not made a single penny. West Virginia PTI workers are guaranteed a flat rate of $350 per week regardless, plus they get the mileage and waiting compensation. I'm not sure if there are laws against this type of pay and hours worked without pay, but if anyone is considering a career with PTI, don't waste your time.
