Should I tell em or not...

As you say the company makes you fight for detention time and then if you finally get it they start you at $5 bucs (less than Min wage) per after a 2hour waiting period. That's like $2.50 per hour for the first 2hours.. And you feel guilty?

I agree 100%


But Mal you did the right thing. So i guess thats all that matters.


But if it was me i would do like the Steve Miller Band would say
"TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN"

If only they'd make that same stupid mistake in a couple months when I'm ready to switch jobs...

Just kidding - tempting, though :wink:

What do think Martha Steward would do?

I'm pretty sure Martha StewarT did the WRONG thing..... and went to JAIL for it!

Don't count on getting "easy time" like she did..... unless you're worth a couple of MIL!! :shock:

I picked up my pay settlement this morning and was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I had a load a couple weeks ago that had 8hrs detention (6hrs to be paid). Normally, you have to fight to get paid for your detention time, and when they finally do pay it, the pay range is $5-10 per hour. This check is different.

The detention paid me $140 per hour for 6 hours - total of $840 paid to me. Now, I'm almost positive that the payroll dept screwed up on that one. So, should I tell em or not?

I would say maybe it was the customer you was dealing with might pay more than the normal.

I can say not all drivers look @ their settlement sheets and that's a fact.
How did you find out? l.o.l.

Well - it wasn't hard to find, especially since my pay was almost double the norm.
