An American who was born and raised here or a Jamaican immigrant that only recently obtained his citizenship in the last five years?
I went to work for an independant contractor that is leased to the company I am signed on with. The contractor owns the truck and is responsible for paying me for driving it. The contractor is an American born and raised here, well it seems that he is a crook, I find this out from several people that warned me about him when they saw me driving his truck, the guy doesnt pay his workers. As of right now he owes me a tad over $1000 of unpaid wages, sooooo I parked his truck back at his place and came home, now lets see how he likes losing money, truck aint moving he aint gettin paid.
I got home and called the company and explained to them that I was thru with contractor 599 and I either needed a new contractor to drive for or I would just drive a company truck. My dispatcher says he got someone in mind that needs a driver so he asks if it is OK if he has the contractor call me, no problem! An hour or so later we get a call, the wife answers it and as I stand by listening to her I hear her gettin mad and ready to hang up the phone, I get the phone from her and she whispers to me in a low but still angry voice "I can't understand a word he is saying!", I get on the phone and here is this lousy plain english speaking man on the other end wanting to know if I am a truck driver needing a truck. I tell him yes and after a few minutes of trying to figure out what he is saying I realize he is the contractor my dispatcher had call me.
We worked out a deal and I have to go pick up his truck tomorrow and get back to hauling trash. I call my dispatcher back and ask him where the heck this guy is from, he says jamaica but for some reason I don't think so, Jamaicans can usually speak better english than this guy. Ohh well, gonna go to work for him and see how it works out. Hope I can trust this guy to pay me!!!!!!
Hey mon, gonna go haul dat garbage mon!

Money is of less importance - as long as I'm happy with what I do.
But not getting paid for a month.. equals no work the next month or until appropriate payment arrives.
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.
He owes you money and you gave him his truck back? I'd slap a lien on that mofo.Got that right! And I sure as heck wouldn't have parked it at his place ... I'd have left it illegally parked somewhere then called and complained so it would have gotten towed/impounded [}:)]

? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

Now as far as the next contractor, only problem I see right away is understanding what he says, if he pays me then there won't be a problem. Now it does sound better than the last contractor, he says he pays $200 a trip instead of the $170 the other guy paid(or so he said he paid) so that will bring me to $1200 a week instead of $1020 a week and still be home everyday. I'll give it a try but he needs to try and speak better english, isnt that right mon?[:D]
