I was hired as a CDL truck driver for this company.
I told them when hired I had a disabilty because of a bad shoulder and could not tarp loads. My first trip from Henerson,NV to Morgantown,PA required tarping, I left Henderson,NV on a Monday morning and on Thursday afternoon I got a message from Valerie Marce the owner Marcel Pontbriands wife that I had a reload as soon as I got unloaded. She asked if I could be in Bethlehem.PA after I unloaded by 6PM , then 7PM I told her I did not think I could make it. I arrived at Morgantown and 4:15 Thursday afternoon, Again Valerie text me to call ASAP. I finally got unloaded by 6:10 PM and called Valerie she told me i needed to get to Behtlehem ASAP. I told he it would take about 2 hrs to drive there because it was over 60 miles and i had to take 2 lane congested road in Amish country.
I also told her I had less than one hour left to drive because i had almost reached the maximum limit of hours I was allowed to drive by law, She insisted I could make it from Morgantown, PA to Bethlehem in one hours, I told her I could not and I would not RUN ILLEGAL>
She got pissed.
I had to layover untill the following Monday after Easter to pick up the load in Bethlehem. It took over 4 hours to load and if I had done as Valerie Martel had told me to do I would have worked for over 20 hrs the past Thursday.
Whe I returned two of the women working in the office met me asked for the fuel credit card and paid me ,for the trip out to PA . The check was short and the next day I gave Valerie Martel and her husband Marcel Pontbriand a letter explaining the pay check incorrect and I was shorted about $300. A week later I was paid for the return trip from PA and againthe cehck was not correct and I was shorted over $200.
They igneored my request to be correctly paid for my work,,
I filed a formal complant was did an other truck driver did with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration about Valerie Marcel demanding that I violate motor carrier safety regualtion as well as a wage complaint with the state of Nevada.
Marcel Pontbriand and he wife are cult leaders from Quebec Canada.
Mr Pontbriand was convicted of practicing medicine with out a license and was also chaged with investent fraud by Canadian authorites.
Marcel Pontibriand and his wife Valerie Martel fled Canada as well as over 30 French Candian Cult Followers and moved to Arizona where Canadian Authorites removed over 10 children because they feared for the childrens safety.
After their problems in Arizona Pontbriand and his followers moved to remote Pahrump. NV..I suspect that Marcel Pontbriand, Valerie Martel ans well as their French Canadian Cult followers who work for Pontbriands businesses are not in the US legally.
Pontrbiand told me that he brought almost all of his workers from Canada because he could not find American workers were not as good as his Canadian workers,
