broker charging extra processing fees.

Mind pointing out that law?

 

Go cash lane on entry, it will read your transponder and give you a green light, or the collector will try to give you a ticket. Then tell them you have ez-pass, they can manually enter it. I used to have this same problem with Amsterdam (exit 27) exit lane.

Go thru the cash lane on exit as well to make sure your transponder reads, will get the green light or show collector you have ez-pass and they will manually process it.

What's gonna sucknis when they go fully cashless, these transponder errors will suck. With our car haulers it is hard to get a consistent read, got tired of fighting for refunds so we started always using cash lane, which negates the speed factor although we still got the discount and didn't have to mess with reimbursement of drivers for cash out of pocket.

Got something just as good. Keep truckin shows the route you took for whatever day selected when viewing logs.

I'll try the cash lane next time I go through. Or maybe I'll forget about taking the toll road for that 20 mile stretch or whatever it is.

 

Don't think that will work without an addendum signed but both parties. I like the way you think though.

 

If you send it back amended and nothing is said, then it's deemed to be accepted.

 

Interesting. I had an ITS bond agent tell me it wasn't legally binding without both party's signatures. She also said it wouldn't be legal to bill/invoice anything not agreed to in writing and signed by both parties on a rate con or contract. Still not sure how I feel about that.

 

That only says the motor carrier must be compensated for the lumping fees. Nothing about a blanket law stating lumping is illegal.

 

I never said lumping is illegal. Only that it's illegal to charge the driver of the truck for unloading it. The law was enacted in the wake of union shakedowns.

 

You can file and collect on a surety bond with a court judgement. The courts have the final say.

If you're a common carrier, and you have tariff rules that outline charges related to billing, then those charges hold sway in a court of law even if they're not explicitly stated on a rate confirmation contract.

Will you go to the trouble of small claims court over $4? I wouldn't. But it's nice to be able to make them think you would, and that you would win if you did.
