I joined the Landair Team as a company on 10/25/05 into a dedicated account (Sonoco) out of Hartsville, SC. Dispatchers wanted to send me to dayton New Jersey over the Weekend, I decided to refuse the load and request a load towards the house (Augusta, GA)
They told me I would have to take the load or my job and DAC would be in jeopardy. Taking that as a threat I told them I was not going to take the load and that I would rent a car and drop the truck off at the nearest terminal.
So after awhile that day they send me a message to relay the same load in Augusta GA. Now I have ran 2981 miles for the week already Mon.-Fri.. So i'm thinking cool and head that way. But once I get to the Sonoco Customer in Augusta they send me a message saying to clean out my truck and that I have told someone in dispatch that I was quiting. (Not True).
So nevertheless they Charged me a recovery fee of $1100 and $250 for orientation fees (which I don't even think is legal) on my last check. So the whole 2981 miles I ran for them was for free. And I my checkstub says I still owe them $268.29, With a Messed up DAC for abandonment of truck.
Drivers please take A hint and don't mess with this lieing, cheating and down right dirty Company. They are not worthy of any driver working for them.

You have a good lawsuit against them, as well as a good labor charge. Make sure DAC/USIS knows that you were told to clean it out and leave it at that location. The co is not entitled to any recovery fee, NOR can they take your orientation pay back. You really need to pursue this and stick it to them hard. If you need any further assistance, please let me know. Good luck

I left the truck at Sonoco in Augusta GA, where another driver was supposed to have picked it up and continued with the load to Dayton, N.J.

Did you take it to a co. terminal? Did you just park it along the road somewhere? More info is needed here. BTW, you can dispute any employer comments on your DAC report.

Julio, sorry to hear that happened to you. Don't sweat it, here's what you do: 1. Gather all documentation and write out a statement as concise as possible but be sure to have all names, dates, times and places included. 2. File a dispute with DAC, and attach all evidence above, send it by certified mail, return reciept requested. DAC Services/ USIS are some real pricks to deal with, only deal with them in writing as described, never on the phone. 3. Send another complaint to the department of labor in your state attention to the wage and hour division, as well as the US Dept of labor. 4. File any kind of complaints you can think of against this carrier to the DOT/FMCSA by the same methods above. 5. File a small claims case against them. 6. Take all above documentation with you to another company, disclose it on your app and go back to work. I have been thru this several times. Never tell a dispatcher anything. Always type it on Qualcomm or other device used, as these create logs that you can supoena for proof of your statements. Anytime a dispatcher or other co rep tell you to do something illegal, don't argue or anything, just say ok and hang up. Then call DOT and get them on 3-way with you and call your co back and ask for clarification of what they want. Then tell them you cant do it with the DOT man on the phone! Works every time! Have fun, good luck!
