    I drove for three years as a company driver and a year and a half as an LP and can I tell you: This company will find every way it can to avoid paying you for your work.
    If you don't want to run 3300 miles to be told that *you* owe them $10,000 - RUN!
    If you don't like a company that double dips - charges both you and the shipper for lumper fees - stay away!
    If you your linehaul gross to actually be the amount quote - not $1000 less per load - look elsewhere!
    If you don't want to pay for OPS ####ups - out of your pocket and yesterday - forget it!

    So... they were just fine for the 3 years as a company driver?

    Most LP programs don't pay the truck what the customer pays. Company will make a % or flat fee from every load.

    Lumper fees should be reimbursed or added into the cost of the load. Tolls, pallets etc. should also be spelled out in that stack of paperwork you signed as to whom is responsible.

    And your % is correspondingly less than quoted.
    Who is responsible for fees changes weekly.
    Running 3300 miles and being told I owed them occurred throughout.

    This is why you read the contract before signing anything. If you are signed onto a company, even your own truck or leasing it, there should be no lumper to you or the truck because you are giving them the opportunity to have your truck run for them and make them money.

    It took you three years to get the lowdown? Something is askew here.

    I'm telling you. First time I think I'm getting screwed, I'm on it. I don't get it straightened out, I'm gone. Of course I read and understand the possible applications of everything in a contract before I sign. Three years? lol

    Could be he thought he was "like family" for most of that time so didn't sweat a few dollars here & there being skimmed ( I've seen that before) . But then Navajo started taking some big chunks & he relized he was just another driver to be exploited by the small print.

    Well, I’m sure this is the exception and I wouldn’t judge all LP deals based on this one experience.

    Go find another one. I bet it’ll be swell and you will be merry and live happily ever after.

    Always see the glass half full friend!
