    For me, the blanking out the load revenue would be grounds to leave. It seems like he is hiding something. You have to be careful.. A lot of these guys are only out to better then selfs. When they burn up a name or dot #.. They just move on to the next idea.
    I've never personally dealt with this but my dad has many times. He likes to stay with 5-10 truck companies or smaller but I like the 25-50 truck companies.
    Honestly.. I would deliver the load and then tell him, if he can't keep my truck fueled up so I'm not trashing my filters and show me revenue, so I know I'm making the right money.. I'm outta here. Where would you like the truck.
    Let's not forget he won't even fix the truck.. Come on man.. Oil is expensive. Get a new pan gasket and throw it on. So much just doesn't add up.
    Sorry your having bad luck.. Not all little guys are bad. Let us know what you decide. Good luck.

    Don't give him that option!!!

    He already left you low on fuel just to make "his numbers look better" ... I would not give him the opportunity to Eff with you while OTR.

    Wait until you are safely off the road and then tell him.

    Ive already spoken with a couple of recruiters from previous companies that I was with, both have me as rehireable. Come monday morning, ill be speaking with PGT and BTC and see where things are. I know PGT is in serious need of driver trainers for load securement, and BTC is just in need of drivers period.

    I would definitely look at getting something lined uo asap...this guy could be runninh an operation where hes taking money from one thing to pay another...also first time any co has issues related to payroll or rate sheets like you stated..red flags go up...I'd find another outfit quick to protect yourself and your family from,getting ripped off...

    Just sucks, I was really hoping that by going with a small company I could get into a place that was more personable. I keep hearing how small places are where the money is, and how much better they are. Then I have this. My wife told me the other day that she doesn't want me with another small company. She associates size with security. I inclined to agree with her at this point

    Other than not being able to see what the rate confirmation is, I don't quite understand what your issue is.

    Up till yesterday, I had not received a single pay stub, and then when I did get the, they show my pay, but not how its broken down and what rates the truck received. The fact that I am driving a truck with air leaks, oil leaks, that would get me shut down if inspected by a DOT. The fact that hes playing the fuel game trying to make his bottom line look better vs getting his driver home. The fact that he is in bed with a capital investment firm rather than actually owning the trucks.

    I can do this all day, but if you dont see the problem, i guess there is no problem.
