The latest that R&L is doing to their drivers is this. After you have worked all day, done your route, busted your butt, then you hit the yard. They have you grab an empty trailer and clock out, and then pay you a flat amout that they have determined to go and swap out a loaded trailer. This loaded trailer might be 10 miles away, and it might be a 100 miles away. The amount they pay you never comes to the amout you would get if you stayed on the clock. The other day, I get to the place and grab the full trailer, but first I have to sign 22 freight bills that takes 30 minutes. After all is said and done I get paid $37, but from start to finish, it took me 2 hours and 15 minutes. If I would have been on the clock, I would have gotten paid $52.80. So instaed of making $23.47 an hour, I made just $16.44 an hour for doing this.(THIS IS NOT RIGHT)
Well yesterday, I get in and clock out with 59.75 hours, the dispatcher tell me to clock and and grab an empty. I tell him no-way, it is absolutly illegal to work past 60 hours in 7 days, whether you are on a time clock or not. What has happened to our company? My gosh, seriously the drivers at my termianl are all looking for another place to work, we are all tired of being taken advantage of...
No raise in two years, insurance raise twice in two years, personal days taken away, 401-k match taken away. Whats next? It is amazing how R&L management has turned employee's with great attitudes, and loved working here, into employee's who can't stand to come to work, who feel like they are being taken advantage of.
