I would laugh at them if they said that to me. I would say SEE YA.

It is an illegal practice, that is all too common in the trucking industry, for the simple fact, that most trucking companies know that a driver will not call them on it.

Damages caused by driver error, DOT physicals, drug testing, on the job training..all are common "payback" deductions, which companies take at will, just because they know that the average driver will not say a word about it.

what kind of rim costs over 500 bucks??

the rim my company paid for at T/A in Commerce City Co.was $ 175 a pcs.which i thought was high for a white rim.Seemslike Cove.is makin a good profit off there drivers mishaps

unless he had to buy the tire too ....my rim cost 149

but x3 on the getting screwed it's job not a choice eh.....

the realy REALY bad part is they will put it down as a PREVENTABLE on his DAC christian company my a$$

The some most cruel people in the world hide behind religion. Couple years back Covenvent was caught for trying to get there drivers to sign off on workman compensation insurance...they are truly a bottom feeder.
