Hurricane Express Inc. Naedok Beware of scam Colcord Oklahoma

I am an OTR truck driver and have been driving for quite awhile.  Please believe me when I tell you that this company is only out to make money at the drivers expense.  There is no doubt in my mind that this company should receive an award for how devious they are at padding their bank account with the drivers hard earned cash.

I drove for Naedok for 3 weeks.  That was all it took.  They tell you that you are an independant contractor, leasing your truck through "Jonathan Ltd."  However, you MUST follow their fuel routes (so they get the kick-back from Pilot).  If you do not follow their fuel routes, you will get written up.  You MUST run their routes, or you will get written up.  There are several other policies that you must adhere to as well, that make no sense when you are an independant contractor.

They charge you for pallets. You are responsible for all tolls.  

Until last week, I was "working" for them.  On friday, I slipped stepping into my truck.  Since I don't have workers compensation, there is no issue there.  I texted Stephen and told him that my load would need repowered since I twisted my knee, and needed to let the swelling go down before I would be able to drive.  I also called in and left a voicemail (they rarely answer on weekends).  On monday I called to get the last 4 numbers of my comdata check for my pay and was told that since I quit, I would have to wait 2 weeks to receive my final pay, if there was anything to pay me.  The com-data check they issued to my wife for $600.00 was cancelled by them.  This check was for the previous weeks loads. How can they do this?

I asked them if they were firing me and they responded that they were under the impression that I quit.  I told them no, I did not quit, just wanted the load repowered and a few days to heal.  They stated that I had quit and that they took my truck and load back to Oklahoma.  Why? They were to have a driver meet me at the truck stop by my house where the truck was, so he could get the loaded trailer to its destination.  Instead they took the truck and trailer!!

I called Debra in safety to get this mess straightened out, and was told not to call them again. They would send my final pay (if any) 2 weeks from receiving my last driver logs.

They are going to charge me $1500.00 for the truck and loaded trailer, plus $3.00 per mile to colcord, OK.  This is a scam to keep from paying a driver their money.  I also recruited 2 drivers to the company (feel bad about it now).  I was to receive $500.00 per driver bonus once they delivered their first load.  I did not receive this money.

So I have one bad check, no pay for loads delivered, and they are going to try to report this on my DAC.  

Please BEWARE of this company.  They will screw you over royally and make your life a living hell.
