    Throw a brick through their window and scream black lives matter. It seems to work.

    I've done all different types of loads, short and longer loads, partials etc. So impossible to really know beyond what I have in hand.
    Can say this one load they took closer to one thousand dollars off the top than simply a couple hundred dollars.

    Its a small company, they all got to know beyond just my driver manager.
    Billing, payroll, owner of company etc.
    I feel this because they would be billing broker for one amount while paying me a different amount, the amount they made up and offered me in a photoshop rate con.
    Owner of the company must know and see the money coming into and out of his account as well.
    I may be wrong but for those reasons I doubt it's just one person aware and handling this fraud.

    I am not condoning what the swindlers do but I just arrived at the reflection that if the op had not found out about the foul play then he would have not started this thread and remained undisturbed, perhaps even content about his financial situation with the current partner carrier.
    Most of us agree that It does not matter that the altered rate he was getting might still be a decent rate. The fact of cheating will supercede all other positives.
    Maybe sometimes it is better not to know.
    Ignorance is a bliss.
    Just philosophizing...

    Best thing to do is ask questions. If they get defensive, ask more. Don't tell them what you know or have for proof. My guess is they will be mad at you that you would even imply that they're dishonest. Then you go full Tom Cruise on them "I want the truth " as you reach with your right hand slowly into your jacket and quickly draw out your cigarette lighter like Clint Eastwood. Light one up right in they're office and ask'em if they have that feeling that they ufcked with the wrong guy and say "That's me".

    Omg, the best that can be done is sue over breech of contract and hope to get damages.,

    there is no criminal act being committed it is a contract dispute.

    falsifying official documents can be criminal.
    OOIDA said there also can be tax implications with the shenanigans going on.

    Forged documents regarding business and payment is serious.
    Forgery is considered a felony as far as I know.

    Agreed. This isn't a dispute. It's fraud.

    Just because it’s fraud doesn’t make it CRIMINAL fraud. There’s obviously fraud involved, but I think you’ll find it’s still a civil matter.

    That’s not right, but that’s what it is.
