I worked for C. Bean for about six weeks. The first 2 weeks everything was OK. After that my dispatcher, "Chad", started demanding that I drive illegally. He even put it on the qual/com insisting that I take a load even though I told him I could not because of out of hours rules. So I faxed them my resignation. Directly after this they closed my comdata card so that I could not fuel or the rest of my pay out of the card.
They owe me over $1300 in pay.
While I was at their orientation a flatbed driver came in mad as hell because they did not pay him over $1000 in pay owed to him. I should have walked out then.
This company fines you $50 for 'service failures' (late deliveries) thats why they demand that you deliver even when your hours of service are used up.
One time I was late because of hours of service regulations, Totton Zarwell and Judith Barkett threatened me with a $100 fine for failure to communicate with them. I was under a brokered load and was told to communicate directly with the broker not with them.
These companies like the restrictive hours of service rules very well. No driver can do the job under these rules, so like me they eventually quit and give up. Then these companies start screaming to the government that there is a servere shortage of drivers so that we can be replaced by Mexican drivers. Then they can take advantage of the Mexicans thru non payment of wages, exceptionally low wages, really bad equipment, etc.
This is one of the worst companies I have ever worked for!!!
