I got screwed and didn’t even get a dinner

ALL AMERICAN FREIGHT in Denver NC is operated by a broker. A sorry ### broker that recently got his 5th DUI which violates his probation so since he’s been ( I assume) paying for lawyers I have gotten taken advantage of. BTW he served this past weekend in jail but didn’t tell drivers, so we sat without loads back home. I just said f...orget him and came on in on my own dime. Another driver sat for 2 days out of fuel bc he hasn’t kept credit up and card got denied..I’ve had to put fuel. In out of my pocket, pay to have keys made for a Peterbilt that I don’t drive, paid for service truck to bring jump box out and get trucks to turn over so we could make money (we thought). Drove personal vehicle w a friend I bribed to go pick up a truck a driver that quit left abandoned, and stored trucks on my property. I know I’m partially to blame here. I trusted him when he told me he would pay me back. That’s been a month or longer. I ran a load to Ohio last week and I see that it’s wishful thinking that I will get paid for that. He hasn’t returned a text or phone call in 3 days..& yes I’m calling about my money so I’m getting blown off. I have a ‘12 cascadia at my house of his so he won’t get it until im repaid.
Is it normal to make a driver sit at a truck stop for a week bc broker gave you the wrong delivery appt ?? Of course I’m led to believe I will be paid for that too. Just venting and needing a Midol!! Starting somewhere else next week. Any ideas on how I get repaid aside from keeping the truck & trailer hidden in the barn?? Hey drivers I’m steadyJ from NC I look forward to solving worldly issues w u all

 

I have no intentions of keeping his equipment from him while on my property. I wish it never gotten to this place. My lady’s father owns a towing business so I would have it towed from my place and he can satisfy that whopper of a bill. Her dad is an ####### but he would give me what I’m owed out of it, and that’s probably all.
So now I’m torn between going to a large carrier or a smaller joint that’s 1099 & I won’t have someone up my tailpipe constantly. Except the lie detector that’s mandated now.
I appreciate all the replies and outlooks on this situation gentlemen.
