Employment of Full Time Drivers

1

I was employed with CS Logistics and would like to provide some information to potential employees. CS Logistics considers 30 hrs as full time employment. Overtime is forbidden. Their holiday pay for full time drivers is 4 hours for any of the 6 standard holidays, unless it falls on a weekend, in which case they will not pay you holiday pay at all. They also have a habit of "accidentally"paying you 8 hours for a holiday and then deducting the extra 4 hours, from your next paycheck. This happened twice in one year, suspiciously passing through month breaks.(i.e. overpay December, deduct January) You earn .75 vacation days for each month worked and are not allowed to carry over vacation days at the end of the year. This works out to 9 vacation days a year in which up to 5 days are paid in a "bonus", if not used. If you have 7 days at the end, they of course keep the 2 days and only pay you 5 in the fake bonus. They will receive compensation from common carriers (AIT) for a two man delivery but in most cases will only send the driver. There were times a single person would be required to deliver a sofa up a flights of stairs by themselves. If necessary they will have drivers, in some cases drive 90 + hrs a week (against DOT regulations), Last Christmas season, for instance, a driver fell asleep at a stop light. Their management style is based on nitpicking and humiliation. Nepotism is the standard. Raises are non-existent and their insurance benefits are expensive with high deductibles. You are required to pay for your own uniform (shirts and coats). There is no laundry stipend. The company will clock you out if you are sitting or waiting for a delivery or pickup for longer than 20 min. You are required to check your time card, but only have have a 2 week window to ensure accuracy, then you are out of luck. They have recently started hemorrhaging not only customers but employees as well. Commissioned drivers have it worse earning low pay and only .25 hrs vacation per month worked. There are better jobs out there, and it is in your best interest to become an employee or commissioned driver somewhere else.
