I went to DeSoto TX on 24th FEB 2014 with the offer of pay to orientation and .36 a mile from the house to Desoto $150.00 for a day and a half orientation ,the room was at thier expense too they offered but I had to pay 33 dollars of the 66 dollars to have my own room I did at the Holiday Inn express. I was Told at Desoto,TX by Michelle after oriention was completed I was to pick up a truck #9979 at Marten ,Memphis terminal 4885 Webb Utility Rd Memphis,TN 38118 , I was told in writeing I would be paid $65.00 at the time of picking up the truck in Memphis,TN . I also was told to be at orientation at Desoto,TX at no set time, also when I go to P/u truck in memphis,TN I asked what time do I have to be there Michelle she saaid when you get there I picked up the truck and pre triped it and logged in to the qualcomm driver 57870 and called damien for a load he did not have one . I had a turned on fuel card and a company ID .
Jill the recruiter called me and said they were not going to pay me the 150 for orientation ,the 65 for truck retrieval ,fuel expenses for my car from arkadelphia,ar to DeSoto,TX ,then to Memphis,TN then back home after Michelle said they were not going to put me into a truck they already had me pick up at a lot off man hours. That is a rip off of money they said I was not owed because I was not a employee, until I left memphis with a load. They should not be trusted ,they will kick you out of a truck miles ,maybe 3000 miles from home, anyway they quit and reneged on the pay for work done issue. I did notice all the people in their offices were white with no blacks, and no black million milers. The have to pay because they seperated the contract oral and written that was their action ,so I am due money I will have to go to the labor board to get, or they will not be able to conduct business in the state of arkansas. I will report it an get a court order if I win .

Apparently there must have been something they found wrong with the background of this individual or they were less than honest on they're application. Why would Marten send an new employee to pick up equipment and the call them off before the pick up and terminate so soon?
Thowing out the race card is another red flag about this report! That's a pretty blatent accusation!

Even though your report could be true, there is no detail of what actually happened between you going to pick up the truck in TN and the time they terminated you. What had happened?
And please do not add the racial comment! If you keep thinking that you are a victim, then you will never be able to get better in life because you let it get to you everytime you go out to meet other people. In othe words, you would have had bias on the issue and would try to relate any problems to it even before you try to do anything!
