Good to know... -
It makes me wonder, if Swift puts me out of service, and it could be weeks (waiting for parts and tight shop schedules), if I can get paid for extended vacations and based on the recent revenue, I would not mind a loss like that...kind of tired working my arse off...you know.
kidding...or maybe not. Why not? I'll park next to Swift next time...
But then, on the other hand, if Swift totals my trailer...are they going to pay me for 1 year backorder wait...or else, what the hell am I going to do?Last edited: Jul 25, 2021

On the other hand, a Hirshbach driver once damaged my $1500 deer guard but he was so scared and looked sincerely apologetic enough, so that my heart got too soft and I decided to forgive him and let him go. I guess the feistiness has to do how the other party behaves. Karama too. Once I was forgiven, and remembering it, I forgave too. Of course, if the damage is substantial, there is no choice but demand the loss satisifaction.Banker Thanks this. -

Why is the gross relevant?
I agree 100% paid for physical damages but I don't get where the gross is relevant.
Is a settllement classed as profit? -
Schneider tried that with me...
They paid repairs then said my loss of income was $175 a day for 3 days... despite the fact I was down for 11 days....!!
Guess they didn't like the letter the lawyer sent, I paid $200 for him to just a letter with the breakdown of income with his letter head... a week later o get a check for $8,500..Speed_Drums, Vitkouski, ProfessionalNoticer and 1 other person Thank this. -
What good would my net do for me? I’ve still got to pay my truck and trailer payments, insurance premiums, driver wages, all the other misc fixed costs associated with trucking. I did subtract out fuel cost from my revenue since that’s a variable cost that’s not incurred during downtime.olddog_newtricks and ProfessionalNoticer Thank this.
