    Hey, if a company you’re leased on to doesn’t pay you. What would you do ? What kind of lawyer would I need ? They owe me $12,000+.

    a contractual lawyer.

    you file a claim on thier bond.

    if you are a member of any truckers organization, such as OOIDA, they would have a list of lawyers that you can contact near you. you would still have to pay them of course.

    He said he's leased on to a carrier, not a brokered load. There is no bond for that.

    First read your contract with them. Some companies don’t send the final settlement until 90 days after you’ve left.

    Why would you let them get 12k in the hole?

    Time to call a contract lawyer and park it till you find someone that pays.

    which was the first thing i responded with...

    this can be a situation of "signing on the dotted line, without reading the entire contract"
