Complaint Review: Lester Coggins Transportation - LCT

I noticed while on leave, that Lct had failed to reimburse me for legitimate trucking expenses. I was told late on a Friday to get my tail across town to get loaded for the upcoming weekend. I also was told that this company was ready to close up, but overtime, had been authorized inorder to get loaded. I was given Comchek information in order to get loaded.

When I got home on leave I noticed that I had not been reimbursed for loading, unloading expenses. I contacted fleet mgr, and i was told that I would be reimbursed for half of company expenses but not all of them. I told them if I could not get all of my money that I would simply bring the truck in.

I was told not to sweat it, and that they would make things right. I was escalated to my fleet mgr. supervisor, who told me after putting me on hold several times, that half was all I would be given. I also was told when I asked that my fleet mgr was in a meeting. I departed to turn my truck in, and some found out that my fuel card was turned off, and I quickly ran out of fuel in a construction zone on I-75. The construction zone guy tore me a new one, and ran off to call a tow truck. I caught a ride to a gas station, Standard, and bought 6 gas cans with my own $$$ and fuel.

I made it back to the truck before it was too late, and drove truck to nearest truck stop apx 5 miles away. Several more call and I was told fleet mgr still not avail. I left truck at truck stop with the location, and my phone number, and expressed that I was out of fuel. No one ever got back in touch with me even 6 mos later, when I tried to get a new job I was told that I left their truck on the highway. A False report was entered on my dak report.
