Latest.. CT is saying the direct deposit was Vitran's fault.. As of 7:45pm, there has been no resolution.
Some guys are trapped and have no place to go because of all of their debt....The bills keep coming and the kids got to eat.....Many have learned but sadly they learned too late. The best they can do at this point is wait for a better opportunity and move forward having learned from the past.Right now everyone is learning some dang hard lessons about Central. But guys, that's precisely what they should be- LESSONS. (Things you LEARN from.) Whether you decide to stay or go, do not let what is happening be lost on you. The ONLY reason I was prepared for this disaster is because I've paid attention to what this company has done to other companies it's swallowed up.
Want some good advice from an old guy?

I agree... Almost.
Do not WAIT for a better opportunity- go FIND it. (Then go back to Central and encourage your hard working brothers to do the same.)
Otherwise you'll end up like this guy....

Great song and easy to play.... And you are right you must go find it..... But you should know that in this economy it's not always that easy to replace what you have grown accustomed to making. Having said that as long as people are willing to stay as they are or to stay only with the familiar and not take risk and try new things out, then it is, by definition, impossible to grow and find opportunities for a better life.I agree...

That's exactly the problem, train. It doesn't appear very many drivers ARE making what they've been making. Sure- they tell you the pay rate is the same.... but then they sit you home or short your check or "clock you off" without your knowledge. Or my personal favorite- screwing with your start times... Ask the Detroit drivers how many times they've shown up to work and then had to sit for an hour or more before they were allowed to clock in. That's a waste of time. You know what time is? -LIFE. Time is life. When you waste my time you steal some of my life that I can never get back. You offer me nothing in return. That's MUCH different than a voluntary TRADE of my time and labor for monetary compensation. It serves to show how much they value your life.
I know the economy is bad. Truly I do. But allowing this company to treat you like they have without at least looking for more baffles me. Sincerely.
that is exactly what I did, went and found a better opportunity, money is good, work environment is great,equipment is great, and best of all I am treated like a human being not a low life scumbag, and I have tried to pass the opportunity along but the schedule is not appetizing to most drivers.
Some here are looking, applying and doing as much as they possibly can for this time of year as opposed to just "wintering" it out.
i see alot of the c.t. drivers are under the c.t. spell (AT LEAST WE HAVE A JOB, THE CHECKS CASH and WE CAN WORK AS MUCH AS WE WANT) and judging from some of the personal vehicles they're driving that they've got to work as much as they can. this company loves an employee who lives check to check and begs for the work, with the way the pay and o.t. is structured you have to practically live here to make a decent check.
