    If you would like to get ripped off, lease on with Greatwide/American Trans Freight. Be on the lookout for *name removed* who is out of the Grand Rapids, Michigan office. You will notice skimming off the top of the freight, charges for their trailer maintenance and repairs and the so-called escrow. Still have not received any of such returned. Just another crooked outfit among the thousands in the USA. And YES, I have everything on Paper to prove my case.

    I take it that you have quit.They have 45 days to return your escrow.Yes,They are crooks,all of the agents/brokers/dispatchers are skimming off the top.How are they charging you for trailer repairs and maintenance?We pay trailer rent,but the trailer place pays for repairs.

    Curious as to if you looked into other ATF segments. I've actually been hearing some good things lately. Mostly their FB/step deck freight tho.

    Priceless... You know that trailer that you are renting had to be paid while you were sitting.. They are just getting their fair share...:biggrin_2555:

    Yeah they are crooks... RUN

    Btw.. All the documentation in the world wont do you any good.. Read your contract.. If you they can screw you it is in there.. It is a standard owner operator contract.. Which means cover the company throw the driver "partner" under his truck..

    Right,That trailer rent of 165 plus 15 for the insurance on it comes out of our settlement every week if we get a load or not."Fair Share",would be fine.Nothing FAIR here.Here is last week-unloaded in Ontario Ca.Monday morning,sat Mon.,Tues.,Wed deadheaded to Utah(560mi.)wife found this load.It was suppose to load Thursday.It didn't get loaded until Sun.Was told we would get 250 per day for wait time.The load was going to ND.It was paying decent 6,300 for 978 mi.Unloaded it Tues.sat until Wed.deadheaded to Ne.(432mi)loaded going to Laredo(wife also found this load)3,300 for1068 mi.:biggrin_25516:
