And does your last post mean that if I am a company driver who is paid percentage and I have no legal right to see the freight contract (and I think you may be right about that BTW) , what would stop my employer from being dishonest with me about what the load paid? They could tell me the load paid 1/2 of what they actually charged and how would I ever know I was cheated? that isn't right! -
Your company really doesn't want you to unload it. You stand a high chance of getting hurt, which would cost them workers comp and legal fees. So, they pay the lumpers by saying they will pay you the driver a very small amount.
As for company drivers paid on %, you are relying on the company to be honest, and for the most part we know that a lot of them are dishonest. There is a lot more to the cost of shipping than what is on the BOL, just ask any O/O how much paper work there is.

If the load is easy and only a few pallets or if they are lite then I will make a few extra bucks and unload it.

LOL I had to get a Port Escort in Savana, $50. I asked if I made it $60 would he give me the $10 back. He said sure. LOL.
Too bad I'd already filled outthe comcheck. -

Ducttape reimbursements
Hazmat endorsement and TSA background check reimbursements
Hazmat training for drivers requierd by FMCSRs
Permits that are in your permit book for hazmat that you probably didnt notice.
Atleast for my company, payroll for some guy that you have to talk to any time you haul any amount of hazmat.
How about canadian loads? I know they arent doing it for free.
Also, i know werner gets and does not pay out on detention pay on some loads. I think they should get PART of it, since they arent making money on a truck that isnt rolling, but what about the driver.....?
I have racked up about 30 hours in waiting games this week.....Tommo2 Thanks this. -
OK 5 plts at a winn dixie in LA. 140.00 because they had to break it down to 10 plts to fit in shortage. My driver said it took them 20 mins to unload it and re stack
it. He was in and out in less than 1 hour. 140.00 for 2 guys for 20 mins work.
total scam -
