why are you chasing their work? If you have to chase them down for work and they won't give you a simple reply, how do you think the work environment and pay issues will be dealt with? He did the same to us and Karma has a way of going full circle. As you can see by some of the other post, others are already having an issue getting paid.
Best decision we made not taking their work. seemed all good when your standing in their door way but there's no follow through. They let you pick your own routes and your own maps, leaving others with scraps and pieces. They sent me out with their "best" crew for one day. If that's their best then it's no wonder they're in trouble.
Keep your head up and let people find you. Anyone can post an add but few ever deliver the rainbow.......
