questionable business practices settlements

I would've took em up on their offer to leave…..

 

Yep... Better to take em up on that leave, they are hiding what the loads are paying for sure, being a small company is a really lame excuse also 💩🏁

 

To answer you original question: Yes you should be entitled to know that info.

Since it looks like you aren't going to get it, when you do call the broker for load info or check call or when they call you 38 times wanting to know where you are, etc....play stupid, tell them the email isn't working that great on the phone, or the dispatcher is out right now, and just say, "Hey, what was the amount we booked this load for again?" Normally that person will just say, oh, it was $1200, or whatever it was.

May not get the info for every load but I think you could get it for most.

 

Are you paid by the mile or paid percentage ? If your agreement is percentage, then you should be able to see every freight bill you've hauled. If you get paid mileage then it doesn't matter what they made on the load.

Now, back to percentage. If they won't show the freight bills to you, run as fast as you can right after you call OOIDA. Also, expose the blood-suckers on the forum and anywhere else you can.

 

If you are paid percentage, by law you can see the original invoice.

 

That is partly true. You can see what they billed. But in some cases that is not going to show the true amount. Several of the larger company's pay percentage, they have 2 company's though, the trucking company and a brokerage. The brokerage gets the load, then sells the load to the trucking end of the operation for a much lower rate, then pays the drivers a percentage of that rate. So they are basically inhouse double brokering a load. They only have to show you the billing from the trucking end.

In his case it sounds like it is a smaller company, and they are just abusing the owner ops. Which is also pretty common.

 

§ 376.12(g): Copies of freight bill or other form of freight documentation. When a lessor's revenue is based on a percentage of the gross revenue for a shipment, the lease must specify that the authorized carrier will give the lessor, before or at the time of settlement, a copy of the rated freight bill or a computer-generated document containing the same information, or, in the case of contract carriers, any other form of documentation actually used for a shipment containing the same information that would appear on a rated freight bill. When a computer-generated document is provided, the lease will permit lessor to view, during normal business hours, a copy of any actual document underlying the computer-generated document. Regardless of the method of compensation, the lease must permit lessor to examine copies of the carrier's tariff or, in the case of contract carriers, other documents from which rates and charges are computed, provided that where rates and charges are computed from a contract of a contract carrier, only those portions of the contract containing the same information that would appear on a rated freight bill need be disclosed. The authorized carrier may delete the names of shippers and consignees shown on the freight bill or other form of documentation.
