When your settlement hits, do you read every line of it, or do you check the net and move on?
Asking because I keep seeing guys mention catching stuff months later. Tolls that were not theirs, a fee that showed up one week and never went away, escort or lumper charges for a load they never ran. Seems like the only way anyone catches it is reading every line every week, which is a lot to keep up with after a full day.
So two things I am curious about:
1. Do you have a system for it, or is it eyeballs and memory?
2. Has anybody here ever paid somebody to go through them, a bookkeeper or a service? Or is that not really a thing people do?
Just trying to understand how much of this is a real headache versus something everybody just handles.
Do you actually go through your settlement line by line weekly?

Prime would never do me wrong on my lease purchase. I thought I had a problem once, and I asked them to make sure I didn't, and they agreed I didn't.
It's just money anyway. You can hold your hands in the shape of a cup, but you're still gonna spill a bit.

Seems to me like the OP thinks the job is just driving the truck. The job is making money!
Driving the truck is just one part of it.
You might want to drive the truck less and work on the things that make you money more.Deere hunter, FloridaRetired, Star Rider and 3 others Thank this.
