Let me tell you a little story about an Owner/Op of ours. Worked with us for several years and then one day, out of nowhere, or for reasons he would not share with us, he broke off all communication with the company. He just said in his own mind...YOU ARE DEAD TO ME. So he wouldn't send in any of his documentation on loads he was due money on. He probably did some piecemeal mathematical calculation that he was either flat with us or he may owe us a grand or so. And his thinking was....you want it, you can come and get-it. So we scramble around to mitigate his unorthodox withdrawal from the company and when all the dust settles, we owe him around $2300. The reason? He forgot that he had made a big-fat deposit with us when he first started working, we hold that for contingencies. So, all calls unanswered, bad feelings about not getting our load documentation, we let the money sit there in his dead account for a couple of years. We then moved it into an abandoned property account to be surrendered to the State in seven years. And his name was relatively common, so he can do the abandoned property search and it's not going to help. That trucker sure sent us an expensive message. But the States are hurting for money, so it's a good-thing.
