McGittigan's Transportation
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 2:18:22 PM

This company is a fraud. They claim to be a broker, but they have no brokering authority. Even the owners mother says that she is ashamed of her daughter's business practices of not paying drivers and stranding them on the side of the road in various locations. I personally know of one driver that they not only haven't paid since 1/2/08, but they stranded him so badly that he barely has the money to idle his truck! This driver has been stranded for over a week now without a single load that he can haul! They claim that this is not their fault, that other companies haven't paid them. Aren't brokers supposed to have insurance against that sort of thing? Perhaps it's just me, but has anyone else heard bad things about this company?

Yes. I know a few drivers that are planning to put a class action suite against them.

You can email me and we can talk further.

I wonder if it was the same people. Apparently even Marian's mother (Sean McGittigan's wife) has been on the net saying she's ashamed of what her daughter is doing and that she took drivers from her mother's company that she's defrauded. I guess people keep calling her mother to get paid. I also found out that Sean and Marian might not even be their real names. So, everyone... watch out for this guy! He will leave you stranded and not pay you. The driver I mentioned doesn't even have enough money to make it back to his family or pay his bills. He may loose everything, including his truck.

Also, Truckindad, I tried that e-mail and it didn't work. Try e-mailing me at trucking24@live.com. I would appreciate any info you could give me.
