I have been recently given a contract by an employer that states if I get put out of service I am to pay 1000$ for any violation. And also an Escrow account. How bad is this, or is it a standard practice?
I am being placed in 2015 Freightliner Cascadia Flatbed hauling. I haven't signed the contract, they also have an escrow account that I pay 250$ a week into until it reaches 2500$
it is agreed that an escrow fund is set up at the time of the execution of the Agreement. to withhold the following:
$250 from the first statement followed by
$250 per week to the maximum of $2500
If for any reason, XXXXXX does not withhold dollars in a given week,
authorizes xxxxxxxxx to withhold (in subsequent weeks) any additional funds necessary to
make up for such deficiency. If Kxxxxxxxxy does not keep his Equipment operating for the
full term of the Agreement, the minimum fee paid to any regulating agency to certify such
equipment, or drivers, may be deducted from sums held in escrow. All escrow funds may be held
after the period of 45 days after termination of this Agreement, to insure payment of Kxxxxxxxxxxy
obligations, including cargo claims and liability claims advances, equipment rental costs, fuel
card advances or any other costs which are the sole responsibility of the xxxxxxxxxxn. Should
any claim not be resolved at the end of said 45 days, the xxxxxxxxxxx may retain the escrow
funds until claim is closed and Fuel Tax Return has been filed. If xxxxxxxx retains any
escrow funds beyond 45 days, the -x-x-xx-x-x-x- shall release any remaining funds after the fuel
tax return has been filed within thirty (30) days of the closing of the remaining claims. The xxxxxxx shall provide xxxxxxxx with an accounting of any transaction involving the
escrow account upon request of the xxxxxxxxxx.

It depends on how desperate you are for the job, and the condition of the equipment in question.
This is not common, but it is not "unheard of".
