    The JB Hunt Intermodal terminal in Chicago is robbing independent truckers. This is how the scam works:

    They will assign a Job Assignment, such as an empty move, a chassis move, etc. The driver then accepts the job assignment, but the dispatcher will not dispatch it. By not dispatching the JA, the load number will not go into the system, so the manager decides who gets paid, and who gets robbed.

    If your dispatcher does not dispatch Job Assignments, ask them why. Watch them struggle for an answer. You may be a victim if you don't keep track of your work or check your settlements. No one at that terminal should be trusted.

    Well if they are such criminals, why are still leased to them?

    I have filed a lawsuit against them. I am not quitting, they have to fire me, but they won't because then they will have to give a reason. What can they say, "We fired him because he exposed our criminal activity"? If they lie, I could sue them for defamation.

    You can't be fired. Your not a employee. They just need to cancel your lease.

    Did you expect their legal department to say "oh, our bad, here's a burlap sack full of money"?

    If you're serious about the lawsuit and putting them on blast - post the case number so we can follow along with the filings.

    think you hit the nail on the head people often forget that 1099 is infact a person out for themselves anyone who says otherwise is in denial. yes, they will cancel the lease and they will likely get another person sign a new lease to fall into the same trap...
