Legal Question Pertaining to Percentage Pay

I'm sure I'm not the first to question whether they are truly getting the agreed upon percentage of a load as agreed upon in the lease. Some of us that leased to a certain carrier have reason to believe the confirmations we received were not legitimately presented as they were received by the carrier from brokers. They all looked nearly the same and none had signatures from the broker and we suspect did not accurately represent what the loads paid. Do we have a legal basis for demanding to see the paid invoices from the carrier to verify what was paid and whether we were indeed paid 88% of the actual load?

 

I'm sure this very question has come up plenty of times. My question is simply do we have any basis to seek an attorney to have these records pulled.

 

Are you sure you're seeing exactly what you're carrier gets? Is it signed by the broker? Or is it a reproduction.
We have reason to believe the confirmations may be altered or reproduced to reflect a different #. We're not exactly sure how but several things give us cause to believe it's not always accurate.
We are just wondering if we have a right to inspect paid invoices.

Also, keep in mind this is an extremely dishonest carrier in other areas as well and is a big reason we are terminating or in my case already have.
They stopped payment on a check already sent to me 2 days prior to terminating and are into me for over $12,000 for 3 weeks of loads

 

Not looking for legal advice but just want to know if based on personal experiences if anyone can tell us if we even have cause TO seek legal action and if no one has an answer or ever experienced anything like this then that's fine. I planned on calling ooida in the morning cuz really it's a basic question. Does an owner operator have a right to ask for signed invoices from a carrier.
