No pay due to tax bracket?

If you Gross 600 one week and 1500 the next Your Tax withholding will be at a higher rate. it changes the tax bracket. I worked on commision where you would get a small weekly and a large monthly bonus check... So basically a 600 a week check is taxed at a 31k a year rate and the 1500 week is taxed like you 78k a year so yea that make sense. But if your owed 5k miles they should pay you 5 k miles.

South Florida Resident - Get paid while getting CDL - Paid Training

Bumping this thread...TNTrucker since when is a written and signed "financial" agreement between two parties not a contract?

They are interchangeable terms, synonymous. By definition an agreement as described is most definitely a contract. Either way both parties are bound by the terms and obligations as desribed in the content of the document. To represent it as anything else, is at best misleading.

TNT not sure I understand the basis for your opposition to Rick's points. I agree with everything he wrote and he does not need to answer to any of your attempts to discredit his knowledge, objectivity, and wisdom. You seem to be selling, Rick was aggressively looking out for the best interest of Dominick and the OP.

Dominick and anyone else reading this, I strongly suggest you carefully read and understand any agreement before signing it. If you are not comfortable with it then don't sign it. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Ask questions, read the fine print, all of it, realizing the consequences if you are unable to meet the terms of your obligations.

We have seen far too many instances of drivers blindly signing an agreement/contract only to realize after the fact, they had no idea what they signed. Be smart, be your own advocate.

With respect not selling anything giving correct information. The only thing you are on the hook for is the money. The point I was trying to make is unlike contract driving which has been defined on here many times. Is simply that we have a agreement that is you work for said company for 6 months any money they contribute will be considered paid in full. Next our company in all locations takes pride in the students and wants nothing more than them to succeed... We offer lifetime Job placement for them. We act a liaisons between them and the Companies.

I asked him questions period didn't discredit him at all. He was making it sound like you couldn't get a job if you live in South Fl. I wanted to make sure Dominic knew that is incorrect.. While a time ago it was hard and even almost impossible due to lack of freight coming out of S fl to get loads. I get that.. As far as too good to be true comment. Our ratings with the BBB and Students speak for themselves.

So my points and my knowledge mean nothing?

I am not challenging you or him or anyone on here. I have contributed and asked questions and encouraged drivers and others that have posted on here. I didn't come on here looking to solicit but to only offer advise. I wasnt outed I posted on here in other threads I work for a school. I have driven. I know a little about what I am talking about and have information to offer. I also hope that if I am incorrect I get called out on it as well.

Moving forward men and women come here for help it is everyone duty as a helping forum as I see this is to give them information as correct as we can. So that they don't fall victim to to scams and leave the industry in the revolving door that it is. This is a tough enough industry as it is without the scams and the low pay and unknowns not being disclosed as it is.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.....

You need to take this conversation with your recruit private - as we don't allow shills on this site.

Let me ask you TNTrucker...

I asked the recruiter what documentation do I need to bring and he told me just my drivers license and s.s card. What can I expect when I meet with him next week?

That's all you need for the first appointment
