    @MikesTrucking

    I've been watching your posts...and I kinda feel sorry for you (in a good way)....

    You seem to have taken a REAL DIVE into the deep end....and them sharks gonna eat you alive, bruh

    You need to link up with an experienced O/O who will show you the in's & out's.

    FULL DISCLOSURE: I dont have a truck yet...so you can disregard my post if you wish.

    When they offer you the ld . and if they got it from a ld broker they will have a rate confirmation sheet showing the amount they agreed to haul that ld for
    Ask them to send you a copy of the sheet. It will have the figure on it. Then take your percentage off that number
    Then you know what the ld will pay you.
    Minus any Od.permit costs if an oversize ld.
    Then if a direct customer ask them to include a copy of the billing invoice for that ld. Then you can compare the numbers.
    You must be fairly new to this I take it...

    I sometimes work for a couple diffrent company's that pay me hourly or tonnage pay I always get a copy of pay rate agreement with my settlement. If you don't you should or find another company to work with. If a company says they cant give you one it is because they are lazy or they are cheating you.

    There is really no way to find out unless you start calling people that shipped/received it or brokered it. Then you would be getting to many people involved and deep in company business and may loose customers.

    If you think you are getting shorted on pay then talk with the owner if that goes no where talk with a legal eagle and find a new company
