Why do companis third party their lumped service?

Too cheap,too lazy who knows.

 

Probably liability issues, plus most lumpers can't pass a pre-employment drug test in order to be employed as a company worker.

 

This goes back a long ways. Unions have always had a foothold at grocery warehouses, and still do. It's just the way things are done plus it removes a lot of employee liability off of the warehouse.

Shippers generally accept this as reality and allow the carrier to add in the lumper cost on top of the haul bill and will pay (reimburse) it as long as it is not out of line with normal lumper costs. It's either built into the rate, or more often, can be added onto the rate at billing time along with a copy of the lumper payment receipt .

 

because they love to piss off drivers giving them more BS to deal with

In particular, read post #52.

 

Worker's comp insurance is a huge cost, lumpers are a kin to day labors.

 

What is not third party?

One company owns the land, another leases it and builds the structure.

The client leases the space in the building. The client hires a third party to run the guard shack.

Another for the yard dog vehicles and drivers.

Still more to:
Plow the snow
Keep up the landscaping
Remove the trash
Manage payroll
Manage hiring
Manage benefits
Manage IT

Heck, they even hire firms to keep track of their money!
