ROBERY; They took the money from my pay check, without notification. It was $136.00 dls. for a Parking ticket in california. I was waiting at CHOBANY CO. in california to unload and loaded YOGUR CONTAINERS. I was parking in the street together with others drivers((all the track-trailer)) parking in that side of the street get parking ticket. I notifided the company inmediatelly. After 2months the company get the money from my pay check.
NO PAYMENT FOR WAITING TIME..I waiting 34hrs. for a load at AMERICOLD in Idaho. I notifided the company about it. I NEVER GET PAYMENT for my time..**my total waiting time for LOADED-UNLOADED WAS 186hrs
I'm an over the road truck driver. I am normally only home a couple days every other week. Giltner hired me and told me about there lease program and you get 73% of each load and they would get %23. They will deduct the truck payment, fuel, and insurance. The Giltner recruiters said if I worked hard I could make $10,000 a month. I started driving on the 13 April 2016 and worked till may 9,2016. I had 1 1/2 days off between Those dates. I did 9 loads in the time. I also got paid twice once on April 22, 2016 for $175.00 and on May 6, 2016 for $169.00. I was only paid for 3 loads in that 2 week period when I did 6 before the May 2, 2016 cut off date to turn in the load papers. I did three loads after May 2,2016. Of course I had to quit because I on the road and have to eat at truck stops, and restaurants. Because when I do my taxes I get to write off $47 a day for being on the road. I probably spend $25-35 day on the road and when I make $169 every two weeks I can't cover my food expenses or home expenses. If I worked as a company driver at the miles they paid me for on the two paychecks 2,999 miles (which all the loads was 6700 miles) at .35 pm- .65pm I would have been paid $1,045.65- $1,945.35. This is what doesn't make any since to me because if a company driver make $1,000-$2,000 in three weeks and an owner operator or lease operator in the Giltner program can't make more than $350 in three weeks. They also say they have a $500 sign on bonus that you get half the first day of load and the other half with first paycheck (which was $175 was the total of first paycheck) and never got that and had one load on that paycheck and they said the deductions was greater then how much the truck made so they had to use the sign on bonus so there wasn't a negative. This company shouldn't get away with this. I was in an automatic truck that had $100,000 miles on it and the payment they deducted was $3050 a month (which is super high since it's not a lease to own program.) I don't get how they could do this, I'm away from home from my family to make money when Giltner is just taking all my money where I can't afford to be on the road or at home. This is wrong and put a lot of stress and headache on me and my family.
Humm Giltner, what can I say? Well I have been driving truck's since the early 90's so I'm not some new want to be.
Giltner doe's have very nice New trucks , no problem there. The problem with these guy's is if your not willing to drive illegal , and yes I don't care what anyone else say's , "THEY DO EXPECT" you to do so!!! And if you don't bow down to that , then they will just simply starve you out of a job, no and if's or but's about it. Does'nt matter how much you beg or try to work with these guy's for more miles , if your not willing to break the law then 'YOU WILL NOT GET ANY MILES"!!!!
Also they do charge you for every little thing, this is no joke!!! You look at them wrong and it's an instent $20.00 it's bad. And once they do starve you out of the job, "DO NOT EXPECT" to get your last pay check , I repeat "DO NOT EXPECT" to get last pay check, wont happen.
So that's all I can say about working for Giltner Progresive, if you are planning on working for these people , know from this what you are getting into.
