Yep. I wouldn't sign that contract. NO WAY! When I was a younger man, I might have waited for the 'abuse' to occur. Now I look for the 'indications' of what's to come. There was no reason to put that in the contract. The old contract clearly stated, if the driver screwed up, he/she pays. And I'm fine with that. Thats reasonable. But I have no control over who Mercer selects as customers and if I am to bear the risk of nonpayment, I want to be appropriately compensated for it.
For the life of me, I can't understand why they would put that in the contract. It goes against EVERYTHING Mercer stands for!

The only other money that a BCO might not see is detention. They won't pay the BCO until it is collected. Line haul and FSC, etc. all pays normal but detention is held back. -

Landstar takes a percentage of your layover pay that was negotiated and agreed to with the agent??? How can they do that?
