Need Help!!!

I am a sole propierter of a trucking company I have all my paperwork under my name. The company used to be under my dad. The truck is under my brother's name. The problem is I have all the paperwork for the company under my name and I'm the one doing the loads but, for some reason they are playing dirty by cashing the checks under my name without authorization or proper identification. Now to find out even if I have everything under my name they are trying to add their own insurance to the trucks and run them under my dot and txdot # . I only run local. I need advice asap

 

Who is "they?"

 

I’m gonna say brother.
That’s why you don’t go into business with family.
Split blanket, buy your own truck and then it’s you. Now it’s his truck and if you do anything they’ll blame you, if not they’ll take the money.

How are they getting the checks? Opening your mail?

 

Howdy, and welcome. I can say with all certainty, people sure do get themselves in a jam. Never been any different really, for every situation, someone is trying to exploit it. I agree, except in rare situations, working with family is the kiss of death( dad always liked you better) and the faster you can eliminate that from the bottom line, the better off everyone will be. Not sure who they are, but obviously someone in the family wants to do the same to you. Good luck.

 

The truck is paid, the truck pays U

 

He says the truck is under his brother’s name. But then he says,”trucks”, plural, meaning more than one truck. What does “doing the loads”, mean? Dispatching or driving? Confusing…

Simplify things for the group, OP. Everything operates under your authority. How many trucks are there? How many drivers? Are you or your brother driving or do you have drivers hired? Who is THEY? Do you have a contract or a power of attorney? Who else is authorized to use the bank? Anyone other than you? Clarify things so that we can help you.

 

Have the payments, checks. Made direct deposit to your account. No paper checks mailed.
Ach, Zelle. Quick pay. Whatever it takes.
Have "them" arrested for cashing the checks.

 

Get rid of the truck out of the fleet, buy your own and if “they” try to run the truck under your “authority” call the cops and have them deal with it.

and get a lawyer to file for a court order to stop the use of your company credentials.

two rules you need to follow, never get into business with any family member or freinds.

and when you are a fleet owner, always have a lawyer.

 

Forgot to add this

I would just call the cops on the criminal activities, cashing checks in your name is fraud.
