Twice I’ve had this happen in the last week. People who are seemingly legitimate truckers are in the stores at truckstops needing help figuring out their “rate cons” . When it seems that they won’t be paid they will ask if you can help them out by giving them twenty or thirty bucks.
I’ve had similar begging bums come to me before but never involving a printed out settlement report.
Be on the lookout for such people.

I always say, "I don't carry any cash; only use my credit card." Then I walk away.

how hard is it to figure out a rate con?

I’ve met a handful of bums pretending to be truckers giving out some kind of fake sob story or another. Problem is, the average bum and the average truck driver look a lot alike these days.
