Looking to sue my former carrier

Cut your losses, sell the truck. You don't have any knowledge of this business, or the ability to sniff out a scam, so you will just end up losing more money.

 

i'd still like to know how the truck got over on the west in the first place. where it's not registered.

 

You put yourself in a bad situation by not knowing what your trucks are doing. I'm a fleet owner and I know what my drivers are doing and where my truck is going. You wanted to throw money in, do no work, and get rich from the sounds of it. There is very little to be made after paying the driver and truck expenses. You have to own multiple trucks(over 5) to be able to even give yourself an income at all. Chalk it up to a learning experience and move on. Trucking isn't for everybody and if you aren't willing to keep up with your trucks you need to get out.

 

As I said, before....twice actually.....proving it will get you nothing except a legal bill. I guarantee you these clowns are insolvent. They just had 3 trucks repossessed and they are changing names again (or already have changed...not sure because the story is a little blurry to me) and you really think they're going to pay you $50,000? LMFAO.

Please keep us up to date.

 

Man I can't say what you sound like because I would get banned.. but this isn't their fault.. You were at fault for not being in the loop.. You have made some pretty shady statements on here already.. Claiming your truck was in Cali... Ore... Wa.... all states that are pretty notorious for checking trucks info the first time they are in the state with a said carrier.. I don't believe any court in the country is going to find in your favor and even if they do you will not get anything out of it.. Besides your contract you speak of has phrases like.. Best intrest of.. ALL DISPATCHED MILES... All cost shall be borne BY OWNER.. and the contract has to be broken down in a certain way and I can assure you it is not in your benefit.. You need to sell your truck before you lose everything you have..

 

What he isn't getting is those 50k miles could be anything or anywhere.. Now if he can prove anything about the truck running loads he wasn't paid for yeah..It would be nice to get your money... but like you said they are already broke..and.... His story seems fishy to me anyway.... His truck is in Cali.. oh wait they have another truck just like mine.. He needs to get out while he can.. Their isn't much money in this industry and when you don't know the industry it is worse..

 

Not to mention how said truck got through NM, CO, WY, UT Ports of Entry without a valid cab card, or any CA, OR, or WA scale. I got a complimentary check in Limon today as I hadn't been through a CO scale in a while.
