Owner operaors right?

The thread was moved here from another part of the forum

 

any rights you;d find for an owner operator wouldn't aply anyways. he's not an owner operator he is a lease operator and the only "rights" he has is what was in his contract basicly. there is some standards that would apply. essentially I know if he was leased to work for a percentage then he has the right to be shown the full rate but there is lots of ways around that too.
They take everything out of your check under a lease before you get it. It's essentially a company driver with a truck payment job. You guys should have checked into it and sure should have had the contract looked over by a lawer before signing. no ofense but I bet you won't do it again

 

Yep, what MM said. Take the contract to an attorney and call OOIDA if you are a member. As far as rights? Like was stated above, it is in the contract. A tractor lease O/Op, lease O/Op and Indy O/Op are all different animals.

Welcome to trucking. And sorry you got burned.

Does your phone book have a section of government department contacts? Ours does, including federal. I would think the state office should be able to give you the number or website for the federal office. Note: I think! This is government offices we are talking about!

 

What's a Tractor Lease O/O

What's a Lease O/O

What's a Indy O/O

 

that's what you get with lease purchases. no offense but you're doing good if you don't owe them money. many people do

 

Try the U.S. Dept. of Labor. That would be the applicable place for any complaint of this type.

 

If you have documented proof that you should have made $60,000, you may beable to go to your local labor board and report them. Did you have a contract stating you would get 75% of the revenue?
I'm not a lawyer but I don't think they can charge you for the fender if the insurance company already paid for it.
Just my opinion!
