    Is there a way that I can know if the company I'm leased on to is giving me the actual load price and not manipulating the rate confirmation sheet?

    Technically they are required to show you the actual billing if you request it.
    Otherwise they are guilty of fraud.

    I know that I'm a new O/O, but these loads lately have been looking greatly underpriced. Leading me to wonder whats going on.

    It has been slowing lately. I am thinking because the fast approaching winter. Or may be the beginning of the next downturn, it is hard to say. We have been on a roll for a long time now.

    Post some examples. Drivers running these lines will be able to tell you if the rate is fare.

    If load is listed for near $1 per.
    I wonder how much the broker is trying to keep. Because they are so special and work so hard.

    Mega companies tell shippers we have the lowest freight prices around and the drivers to move it too
