I worked for star transportation which is owned by david parker/ covenant transport.I left due to incompetent staff operations & dispatchers.Turned in my truck & cleaned it out.I signed up for direct deposit into my bank acct.instead of putting my payroll into my bank acct they deposited it on the fuel/ comdata card.When I turned in my truck they put a block on my comdata card so I am not able to access my payroll or money which I worked hard for.I contacted both star & covenant only to get a run around about my money they told me I receive a check in the mail in a couple of weeks.This is right at Christmas time & I am not able to get my money to buy Christmas presents for my family and children.They could have turned it back on just long enough for me to get my money off the card or issue me a comdata check but they refused to do it.They claim to be a faith/ Christian based company yet they do this to employees & our families.I will be lucky to ever see that money & highly diubt I ever will.I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this from them as well.They are stealing employees money and keeping our pay.I have worked in the trucking industry for 25+ yrs & never heard of any company doing this.I would not recommend this company to anyone.They obviously don't care about employees , or our families and to do this right at Christmas time is disgraceful and a shame.I am contacting a attorney and the Dept of Labor about these unlawful acts as it is illegal to withold a employees pay.If you or anyone you know has also experienced this from covenant, star,srt,landair etc...let me know.They are all owned by covenant/ David Parker.Together we can stop this.They are theives and liars please stay away from them!!!
