    What decision is that?

    Have they told you they made a mistake and it's going to be in next week's check or are they trying to tell you you are not entitled to it?

    They probably can’t afford to pay you because they only take 12%.

    Sounds like they are cash poor. Is your agreement you get paid no matter what, or you get paid when they get paid?

    My carrier has made a few mistakes over the years going both ways overpaid me and underpaid me.

    But whenever I point it out they send me the money the next day.

    You know, in this rapidly changing world, it's nice to see some things in trucking haven't changed. People been questioning their pay since the Bible times. One job, the guy said we were making 27% of the trucking charge. One day, he( mistakenly) told me to pick up a check for the trucking, and after a bit of math, it came out to 22%. When I questioned the boss about it, he had nothing to say, except, who told me to pick up a check?( He did, he just didn't think a dumb truck driver would figure that out) I quit shortly afterward. My O/O days too. Guy said I was making .87cpm ( late 80's) We knew darn well, on some loads that paiid more than that, he would think, ".87cpm is good enough for them", even though we knew it paid over a buck. By the hour is your only salvation in these regards.
