Asking for more money from trucking company boss for hauling oversized

Oversized

I just recently ask my boss for more money for hauling oversize permit loads I get paid 15 an hour.

Just to let u no I haul a dump trailer not oversize load with a low boy.

Now after we got done hauling the loads all 8 of them he got mad at us for asking and gave us 3 days off.

i no I'm not wrong for asking but what would u guys do.

If I were you I would make sure to be on the look out for another trucking jobs.

It's nothing wrong with asking for more pay for doing extra work or work that is a usually a paygrade higher.

Especially after you did it and you said it was 8 loads not just 1.

He could've explained he didn't have the money or why he didn't think he should pay you extra at minimum but to get mad.

Then retaliate with time off is ridiculous. Might even be worse than that.

If you have some type of documentation. You should contact the Department of Labor and see if that violates any law/code.

You might want to submit that to Better Business Burea too. It's a bad attitude for the company. Assuming you included all of the details of course.

Sounds like your this guy

If so, you can get a better truck driving job where you are valued!
