Lumpers Lumps Issues

Hi. New to this forum. Canadian long-haul flatbed trucker. My wife is writing an article on lumper issues especially where Owner operators have to pay even their contract states they don't but the warehouse won't unload until they hire a "fleecer" as I call them. Then they don't get reimbursed. That's why I am on flatbed. Also when a driver wants to load or unload their own delivery (because its quicker and sometimes safer), they are told by the warehouse, they must use the lumper because the warehouse gets a percentage of what the lumper is paid.

Any other horror or funny tales out there?
