On September 5, 2013, attorneys from Sommers Schwartz initiated a lawsuit seeking recovery of thousands of dollars of unpaid wages from Michigan trucking company Steel Transportation Services. The action was filed in Wayne County Circuit Court.
The complaint alleges the company was supposed to pay its drivers 25% of the gross revenues for each load, but STS secretly deducted a fuel charge equal to between 9% and 37% of each delivery invoice, significantly reducing the amount each driver received.
