Well all I can say is it couldn't have happen to a nicer guy,When I worked for Gainey all that jerk wanted to do was pad his pocket with all the money he could, He never cared about the driver or the company just him so take it for what it worth. Whst goes around comes around..................

I was a loyal Gainey Driver for 6 years, and damn proud to be one too, until I was hit head on by a drunk driver, it killed her and split my semi in two.
I am disabled for life and am going thru a life changing ordeal. I have had a Workers Comp Claim since 2005, it is now 2010 and my Lawyer says that Gainey's Lawyers are claiming poverty thru bankruptcy and CAN NOT PAY FOR MY NEXT OPERATION, which will only cost $8,000 dollars. Can you fricken' believe it??????$ 8,000 dollars on a Workers Comp claim and they won't pay!
I made more than $8,000 for them in one week running hot loads, illegal loads, what ever load that was loaded wrong ... I RAN IT!!!!!! I WILL NEVER WORK AGAIN FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE LET ALONE DRIVE A TRUCK and they won't pay the $8,000 dollars for an operation so I can breath normally again.
I had the pleasure of Meeting Mr. Harvey Gainey and his wife before and I thought he was the real deal and a GREAT MAN, I wonder if he knows the Lawyers he hired are fucking his drivers on Workers Comp Claims??
Any drivers out there in the same boat, this what my Lawyers are telling me ...." File a Claim In Federal Court NOW " In other words get in line while there is still a line!
I miss working for Gainey and the good friends I made there. I should have stayed in the front office in the KC terminal when they offered it to me.
I thought companies pay that every week, or month, and you should be covered no matter what status the company is in.(like a tax)

dunno,
good luck man

It is my understanding that the whole company was sold and the bank lost millions of dollars. Is the same people still running it? What is going on?

So what is the real reason you didn't get paid?

And besides the company has no association with Gainey Transportation or the Gainey Family, it was bought by an investment firm based in Wayzatta, MN so your post is pretty much irrelevant to the GTS company.

Daily Horoscope for June 1

Leo

Try not to over-commit yourself at this time. If you can establish a few limits you will be really pleased with the end results. You're flying high -- which is great, but try not to get ahead of yourself and lose the advantage of the good opportunities surrounding you. Why not relax at home tonight? Have a few friends over for some pleasant banter.
