    I am just curious of how many drivers pay in cash or do you get a comcheck every time?

    Depends on broker I'm using. Some have 24hr offices, some don't. If they don't, I'll pay myself and get reimbursed. If they are open I make them pay, especially if I've unloaded myself.

    I guess my main question is, do you carry cash with you to cover these type of fees or do you always have to call either a broker or company you lease with to help you with fees?

    I also negotiated lumper fees to be paid by broker in rate confirmation.

    I carry very little cash, when booking a load if it does not say live load and unload with no touch I no touch the load to haul it.

    You mean you would not take a load that had a lumper even if it was paying well AND you do get your lumper fees back?

    My carrier reimburses the lumper fees - it appears as income for me, and with the exception of one or two places we always do comchecks. Company drivers should always be reimbursed by their carrier for any lumper fees.
