Auto Truck utilizes software that forces drivers to work over a month per year FOR FREE, while losing over $3,500 yearly in lost wages. When brought to the IAM Unions attention, they (Mr. Anderson) simply told us that “it was Industry Standard” and/or ”go find another job”.

Under the representation of the IAM, Drivers are forced to work;

  • On Duty/Driving: ONE  MONTH per year FOR FREE. (See above)
  • On Duty/Not Driving: TWO MONTHS per year FOR FREE. (See The Numbers)

Note: Take into consideration that out of the 70 hours a week we have to work, only a small portion is spent driving! When we do finally get to drive, we are then shorted an additional 10-15 percent of our wages! Can you say, Rat Race?
