J&H Trucking - J&H TransportationS Cheating the drivers out of pay and asking them to redo their log books (back them up, take pages out) as to get the next load picked up. Andover Kansas
J & H cheated me out of money, saying they pay for trailer washes, that they did not reimburse. They tell you they pay fuel surcharge, at the National Average, but then don't, they reduce it by about half, and say that they pay regoinal averages. The dispatchers told me to take pages out of my log book, and redo them, by backing up on my actual times, so that I could pick up the next load or deliver one. Which when I refused, I had to set with no load until the next day, sometimes two days. The dispatchers give you wrong delivery times that are sometimes two days early and then rearange the appointment when you get to the drop. Sometimes you end up waiting for a day.

The first thing we need to know is if you are a company driver [employee], or a lease driver [independent contractor]. This is very important, as the rules are different for each to abide by. Second, as far as the log books go, ONLY YOU are to blame if you let anyone tell you to falsify logs. All adverse action falls first on the driver for logbook falsification. JUST DON'T DO IT!! It is NEVER worth it. Your life. Your CDL. Your ticket. Your loss. Just don't do it. For anyone! If you are a company driver/employee, you just need to find another job. File the appropriate complaints with USDOL, FMCSA, etc.. and move on. If you are a lease driver / independent contractor, what does your lease say? This is a legal binding contract between 2 parties. It is not negotiable, or applicable only when convenient. Hold them to the letter of the contract. HOWEVER, let me give to the real bad news about leasing. When you lease your truck onto anyone, they have full legal control over your truck. If they tell you to park it, you are stuck. They can do this legally, unless you have built in a performance clause that guarantees you so many miles, rate per mile, etc. Leasing is a bad deal for you as the driver. Period. It is only good for the company that you are leased on to. If ou own your own equipment, go the extra mile and get your own authority. Then you don't answer to anyone but regulators, mainly your state and the feds. FYI...If you are a "leased" driver, by law nobody can impose work rules on you. If they do, you are an employee. Do yourself a big favor. Go to the IRS website or your local IRS office and obtain form # SS-3 Determination of Worker Status. Get this out of the way right now. If the IRS rules you to be an employee, that company will have to pay both your share and thiers of your SS, and will have to backdate workman's comp premiums and unemployment insurance premiums, etc. You can cost them alot of time and money, and put them in compliance too. It is an expensive education for them. I have done it twice, and it works. Get satisfaction. Then get paid.
