Has anyone here any experience with Truss Communications?
What can you tell us about them?

I received an email this morning regarding available assignments, however I have never heard of this company before and am hesitant to even file an application with them (NOT giving a SSN anywhere unless they are a proven and trustworty business).

Here is the info from the email:

See

For now I will hold off on applying, I'm just not comfortable with letting them have my personal information.

Their shopper page says this:
quote:
We requested profile information from Checkup Marketing at the request of the client. Your information has not been moved over yet! You will need to login using your Checkup Marketing password first.

If you shopped for Checkup Marketing...your login information will work here as well. If you wish to shop with us just use that login or create a new one. Once you log in, we will assume you would like us to make it easier and we will port over your profile from CheckupMarketing..saving you time. You may edit it if you wish.


Are they getting the info from Check Up, or did Check Up simply start doing business as another name?

Thank you so much! Hopefully they will continue the shops and start the quick pay back up. CheckUp used to be awesome, then got slower and slower. Nice folks though.

Anybody else waiting on payment on sub shops?

I received two emails telling me that they had received my receipts on 1/25/12 and 02/12/12. I need payment before I do any more shops.

It appears this company is a reincarnation of Check up Marketing as the physical address is the house of
YARBOROUGH, C MICHAEL ; YARBOROUGH, KELLY F
according to the Guilford county property records.

Update,
On 2/15/12 I received a payment check for the shops listed in the 01/25/12 email. The check was dated 02/06/12.

So I guess I will get the other payment in another week or so.

I had sent a reply email to the 01/25/12 email asking when I would get paid and a Mike Yarbrough responded with my history and that I should let him know which ones I had not gotten paid yet. He said that he would look into it.

Yes, I did get paid for those sub shops.

I did another round of 9 ending on 9/26/12.

On 10/25/12 I received an email that they needed my receipts for my shops.

I submitted the receipts when I entered the shops online. So I spent an hour finding and emailing the receipts. I received a conformation on 10/26/12 that they had received my receipts.

I am still waiting on the check for these shops. I did another route of 4 by 11/4 and just received an email that they have my receipts.

I checked their web site and the payment terms say they pay within 60 days after they receive everything.

So will I not get payment for the 9 (completed by 9/26), until 12/26/12 because they confirmed receipt of my receipts on 10/26/12 and did not acknowledge that I uploaded the receipts.

They just sent out an email with some more sub shops with bonus. Waiting 90+ days to get paid means I will pass on these easy sub shops.

Anyone have any updated information regarding payment issues? I am still owed for several shops that I completed in October and November. I have sent e-mails and have left a voice-mail but have yet to receive any kind of response.

Thanks!

I am in the same situation. I haven't received payment for any of my November shops. I sent an email and no response. I had worked with the previous company for a while and had no problems. I had even been paid by Truss before but nothing as of November.
