Nice try Zimmet. You are sitting in an office doing nothing but making everybody's life miserable and LOVING it when you can be a big shot and get somebody fired or steal their paycheck. And the minimum wage for the last paycheck, real smooth! I know for a fact you have been in trouble for that before but you always lie your way out. Any outfit that makes employees pay for anything that goes wrong while doing the functions of your job is crap. 84 lumber is the only business you have. They probably won't dump you because you make your divers do dangerous crap to please them. But who cares, pack a 100 pound window up a muddy plank by yourself and slip and fall and break the window, you get to buy it. If a driver one time refuses to buy something like that they are terminated. If 84 lumber backs you up and tries to talk BLS out of stealing your paycheck, the driver is terminated. BLS is afraid if one driver sticks up for themselves or 84 takes up for an employee, they may be asked again not to take a drivers money. So the employee is tossed aside like yesterday's trash. Then they tell unemployment the classic, misuse, destroying, or vandalizing company property to get you denied benefits! Then they either keep your last paycheck or pay you minimum wage for it. Then your life is ruined because it don't matter that for YEARS you were there on time and worked long hours and bailed BLS out time and time again when other drivers quit and wouldn't pay for everything , all that matters now is it don't look good on paper. Now the rest of your life is over. And many times after an incident they will tell you that everyting is fine and then decide a month later you are paying. So pay up now or get threw out on the street. Zimmet sure sounds like an innocent little angel in his cocking-bull write up here. BLS cares NOTHING about employees or anybody else. Who wants to deal with this crap everyday? Just knowing you have bills to pay and one little thing will cause you to be canned, denied unemployent, possibly lose everything you have worked for and never again have suitable employment keeps you tied in knots for years! If you are there 20 years and one little thing I have described happens, you're history. No matter how long you are there, get laid off more than 30 days, you are a brand new employee when you are called back. They don't lay off by seniority either. They keep around the ones who suck up and lay off the ones who do the work! Zimmet wishes these reviews were handled more professionally and really regrets any past employee being unhappy. What a load of crap! The truth hurts don't it! Go work for BLS and good ole Josh Zimmet. Pay for any little operating cost or thing that might go wrong. Pay for extra fuel when they decide your truck idled too long. Stick around 3 hours after work for UNPAID mandatory driver meetings. Pay BLS $50 fines for getting a ticket after you already paid the ticket. Have to lie about running over hours all the time. If you ever do work for BLS and know you are going to be terminated, (and you will know), keep every log you have filled out and get all the past ones you can because you will have to fight when they screw you out of your last paycheck! The daily log is the only proof! Go out to 84's jobsite with no driveway after a week of rain. It is so nasty you can't walk. You have to get in and out anyway, not get stuck and not get mud on the road. If you get stuck, you get to pay to be pulled out. That happens all the time. That will come out of your pay also, who cares BLS ain't paying! I really like the line in Zimmet's write up about apologizing for unsatisfactory employment and wishing you the best, what a crock! I don't know how Zimmet and Foster can sleep at night being such sleezeballs! That is the real BLS. BLS rotten to the core and the place of 100% profit for the company and 100% of the crap for the hard working individuals working for them.
