Damn, not just gas but electricity as well. Lost power for a day + thanks to that Ike bastard! Crap, man, three trees hit the wire and I have countless down all over the property.
I feel for those who got the full force of this storm if this is what it did to NW TN! CRAP!!!!

No, I don't own my rig LOL I'm talking about working for the wrong trucking company. There is a lot out there that isn't "common" knowledge. The work laws governing truck drivers have some weird twists to them.
Happy for you that you're making some dough at Dominos (rhymes rhymes rhymes).

So far the tips have been worth it.
Anyways, I'm off to bed, but I wish you the best with your situation.

My post was an exageration, and an attempt at humor to be honest. However they did take alot of money out of my wifes 1st paycheck, and to be honest...I've made more money in tips one night than she did on a three day paycheck.
Your story, if true, is a bit much to swallow. Yeah, I'd be getting a good lawyer, and seeing what could be done legally also. Hope it goes well.

Does a $-850 paycheck make sense to you? I have lived that way for years. There is far worse out there too.

1st paychecks piss me off!
1. 3 days of training = $134
2. State tax = ridulous amount subtracted.
3. Federal tax = ridiculous amount subtracted.
4. FICA & SS = ridiculous amount subtracted.
5. Uniform cost = $15 subracted.
The final result = ridiculous amount in debt...must wait another 2 weeks, before one actually makes any money! Edited at: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 9:19:45 AM |

DC, maybe, just maybe this will make you feel a little better, gas prices in Slovenia:
1 gallon:
95 octane 1,187 € /l x 3,8 = 4,51 € = 7,1197 $
98 octane 1,198 € /l x 3,8 = 4,55 € = 7,1810 $
Diesel 1,298 € / l x 3,8 = 4,93 € = 7,7808 $
