"We were all looking for jobs on BOSS Zhipin, but I didn't expect to work for a month or two, and we still owe money to the company." Recently, Mr. Xie, Mr. Xia and many other truck drivers who applied for Hunan Xiangda Automobile Service Co., Ltd. saw the propaganda of "no renting a car, no car, having a stable income, more work, no cap", but did not expect that after deducting the deposit and relatively high rent, some time still owed the company money.
The cooperation agreement signed by the two parties reads: the driver must have a monthly turnover of more than 10,000 yuan, the operation time must reach more than 26 days, and the effective service time must reach 8 hours per day, otherwise the monthly rent will rise to 4,000 yuan. Mr. Xie said that this condition is very harsh, and many drivers cannot meet it. "Not to mention making money, it's hard to support your family."
On October 17, Mr. Zhao, a person in charge of Hunan Xiangda Automobile Service Co., Ltd., said that the recruitment model is a commission model, and 8 hours is the online service time, and it is only counted after receiving an order. Because most of the drivers who come to work here are more difficult, the company will help the driver pay the deposit, parking card and other expenses when he joins the company, and then deduct it from the driver's running water. If the remaining tasks cannot be completed, they can report to the company, and the rent can be reduced or exempted under special circumstances, and there is still room for negotiation.
In the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Xie replied to reporters that the two sides had negotiated, "This month, there is no deduction according to the amount of money." ”
Father of two children applies for truck driver:
I worked really hard and slept in the car half the time
Mr. Xie's hometown is in Zhuzhou and he is a father of two children. Previously, he worked in the sales industry, but because the business was not doing well, he started browsing job boards to find another way. In August this year, he saw that a company was recruiting truck drivers, and the recruitment notice read: No rental, no car, no car, stable income, more work, no cap.
Due to the attractive conditions, Mr. Xie came to Hunan Xiangda Automobile Service Co., Ltd. on August 11 to apply for a job as a truck driver and signed a cooperation agreement. "The content written on the Internet, including what the staff said verbally when signing the agreement, is that they can earn hundreds of yuan a day, and I have been running for two months now, and I still owe more than 1,000 yuan when I pay my salary."
"I'm a bit down-to-earth, I didn't take a break for the first month, and I was online for at least 15 hours a day." Even so, Mr. Xie said, he still failed to complete the company's mission. "I ran some money in the first month, but after deducting the 2,000 yuan deposit and the rent for the current month and the next month, I couldn't make ends meet, let alone make money, and it was difficult to even support my family."
The reporter saw at the scene that in the second half of the truck driven by Mr. Xie, in addition to some tools, there was also a quilt, "He really worked hard, and he slept in the car for half of the month." The rest of the drivers at the scene said.

I want to live with my son,
His father, who was over half a hundred years old, came to Changsha to work as a truck driver, but he couldn't make ends meet
has the same experience as Mr. Xie, as well as Mr. Xia from Changde. The 54-year-old saw the same job posting on July 1. Previously, he worked in a steel mill in Guangzhou, and later returned to his hometown to work for a moving company. Because his son works in Changsha, he thinks that he can still come here to work, because he can live with his children and take care of each other.
"I don't have any spare money in my hands, so when I look at job postings, I pay more attention to the conditions of 'driving without paying'." Mr. Xia recalled that when he came to the company to sign the agreement, he only paid more than 800 yuan for the platform registration and activation fee and the team card fee. For Mr. Xia, this job is a breadwinner. There is no guarantee that he can receive a lot of orders every day, and when there are no orders, he sits in the car and swipes Douyin anxiously.
When the first month's salary was paid on August 10, Mr. Xia also owed more than 1,000 yuan. "I basically didn't take a break for a month and earned more than 7,000 yuan, but after deducting the 2,000 yuan deposit and two months' rent of 7,000 yuan, the salary was also negative." The reporter learned that these applicants for truck drivers are basically from the surrounding areas of Changsha, with their hometowns in Zhangjiajie and Changde, and the farthest in Zhejiang.
The drivers all said that the agreement stipulates that the driver's monthly turnover should reach more than 10,000 yuan, the operation time should reach more than 26 days, and the effective service time should reach 8 hours a day, otherwise the monthly rent will rise to 4,000 yuan. "Such a requirement is really harsh, and I hope the company can refund us the unreasonable deduction."

Company Response:
The money paid in advance will be deducted from the driver's running water, and it has been negotiated
On October 17, the reporter and this group of truck drivers came to Hunan Xiangda Automobile Service Co., Ltd., and Mr. Zhao, the person in charge, said that the recruitment notice was written on the commission model. "If the drivers don't meet the requirements, the rent can be on the high side, and the company currently has a third of the drivers who don't meet [the requirements]."
Mr. Zhao said that the online service duration means that it is calculated from the beginning of receiving the order, and the time of waiting for the order is not counted. "But if the driver's system is open for 8 hours, we will also give the driver 8 hours after reporting." Mr. Zhao said that because the turnover account is seasonal, the company will not assess the driver too much.
"You can go to the market to inquire, dry freight, drivers have to pay a deposit of 5,000 yuan, come to work on our side, many are (economic) more difficult, the deposit is paid by the company, they have not started to work after entry, the company has been upside down, so the back will be deducted from their running water." Mr. Zhao said that if there is a task that cannot be completed, the company can report to the company to apply for exemption, "We are all open to do business, and we will not rely on this to embarrass the driver." If the driver has any difficulties, we should advance it. ”
"If the driver quits, we won't make money from the driver by defaulting. The vehicle is idle here, and we still have to pay the monthly payment. The company does not count the liquidated damages, the money of the gap period, and the wear and tear of the driver, but only deducts the deposit to return the money to everyone, and the company has lost a lot, with an average loss of more than 4,000 yuan per driver. Mr. Zhao said.
Mr. Zhao said that there is still room for negotiation. On the afternoon of October 17, Mr. Xie told reporters that the two sides had negotiated, "If other months are deducted according to the company's requirements, this month will not be deducted according to the extra money, and there is no problem and it will be returned to us within 7 working days." ”
