Getting ready to fight a denied detention claim but want to know what I'm up against first. I have timestamps and camera footage showing arrival/departure times but the broker claims my documentation is not sufficient.
I reviewed my contract and its got a lot legal language about arbitration and dispute resolution.
For those of you who've actually looked at your carrier contract - what does it say?
Can you take your company to small claims court or are you locked into arbitration? Any clauses about class actions being waived? What's the actual process supposed to be for disputes?
Trying to figure out if it's even worth fighting or if the contract basically makes it impossible to recover anything under a few hundred bucks. I know carrier contracts vary but would be curious to see some example of people that have resolved their disputes successfully.
What does your carrier contract say about detention pay disputes?
