for example feul discounts and trans action charge over 21 trucks no trans actions plus discount /21 trucks .07 /60 plus .09 /(5 or 9)? .05 discount plus transaction
other programs no fees and discounts im on other program: nastc
plates and insurance you may be paying for company equipment like pickup or owners wheels
some companies if on percentage skim even with conformation (it has been tampered with)
or if pays usd they pay you the same in cdn

alot of empty miles to keep you hungry and sitting for days
one company i worked for gave me (us) confermation sheets from HOT SHOT OUTFIT come find out they owned the hot shot outfit. there was a large canadian co. got nailed for doing that a few years ago there still doing it. thru ther sister companies
there are even outfits charging .02 cents per liter to do feul tax id o mine on driversdailylog download data at iftach.org per quarter
permits this is a scam also for example oversize blanket permits in sk. are truck specific in mb. and ab. its a fleet permit and the company charges every body fleet price to each operator
and hold back 90-120 days in case you charged something were are in the computer age they will know in minutes to days but not 90 days any more
