Gotta think with 2 minds as an owner operator. As the business man you agreed to have your driver tarp the load. You were thinking as a company driver in the fact you said we heck with tarping it isn't going to rain! Now you as a company driver still want to be paid for the job you did not do how you were supposed to. And as an owner you should be pissed off with the driver that did not do as instructed.
Lesson learned and move on. If it isn't s regular customer of yours all the better.
$500 deducted off a load.

You were paid to tarp a load and transport it. You decided to not tarp the load and were penalized for taking a short cut. And now you want to know how to collect? You didn't do your job, you can't be compensated for something you didn't do.KANSAS TRANSIT, tucker, MJ1657 and 3 others Thank this. -
I don't know why, but when I admit that I made a mistake its like there open season for insults and rude remarks.
The shipper did not want anyone to tarp anything on the property. I did not tarp it. I would have tarped it if it was going to rain. It was my mistake that I did not read the part on the confirmation that it needs tarps.
All I am asking is, how can the receiver set the price of $500 for not tarping, and the broker go along with it without it being in the confirmation? The load was accepted and delivered, damage free.
I'm just asking for help with this because I don't feel that it is fair. -
You get paid fully when you complete the job pulling since you did not completely fulfill your obligations of the job you did not receive for Payment there's nothing insulting about that

I am not trying to rail on you, I am just stating the legal facts.
Just suck it up and drive on, that is what I used to tell my privates in the Army. -
Hmmmmm........something doesn't smell right... -
Recivor said im charging $500 for it not being tarped. Broker says ok, sounds good. -
Good luck, sorry you took the hit. -
Ok, sure. that's a stretch....but then you said you saw it on the rate con, and you refused to tarp it anyways....that makes no sense...
