Donald and Renee Sessions were hired by Jamie Hickman to head up the hiring for STI - Strongline Transport / Starline Transport Inc. Was to be the name supposedly.
There were to be 2-5yr contracts Jamie Hickman was to have acquired through Landstar Ranger to run from Longbeach CA to Memphis Tn hauling containers back and forth. And the other contract was to haul containers from LongBeach, CA to Miami, FL. And back.
Jamie Hickman was to pay all health insurance, give a salary to each driver in the amount of $2340/ week, in addition to hometime with pay every 3 weeks for 6 days. Everyone furnished own way to orientation.
Jamie Hickman managed to have one Orientation for @ 40 people (after a 1 week delay due to pregnacy miscarriages) and they signed all paperwork, contracts, and gave personal info for direct deposit to be done. *None of them to this date have received any type of pay, not even any help getting back home after paying to get there. Right now Jamie owes a total of @$250,000 to cover all of them.
We were scheduled to start with this company Dec 1st and left our previous job 11/21. We got a phone call Thanksgiving day stating Orientation was to delayed till first of year. The following week we got a call from Donald stating to be there that Sunday 12/7 a friend of ours rented a car from Tampa, FL and got @ 150 miles from our house to get a call 12/6 11pm that orientation had been postponed till first of year again due to more complications of pregnacy and cancer.
We now heard from a friend that lives there applying also that went through 1st orientation that Jamie Hickman has informed all of them tha this whole company was not legitimate and there were never no terminal, trucks or company. As well as, finding out from another reliable source that Jamie Hickman does NOT have cancer and never has.
An Attorney in LA has been contacted and we all know this can be persued as a federal case and federal charges will be filed against all parties involved, and Jamie will be responsible for reimbursing all these charges as well as making good on contracts that did get filled out.
Also all others that had not made it over there yet should be entitled for loss of work from time leaving previous company to start this job, to time of starting employment with another company.
