Why would a carrier show the rate con?

You are more than likely getting the screw, if they won't show a rate, and you are being payed based on that rate.

 

When I have been paid by the mile I only saw a couple rate con. My employer usually blurred out the pay, but sometimes didn't. A few times I felt bad for him, even being paid by the mile, that he had me hauling the load for what he was getting paid. When I am mileage paid, it's easy for me to not care what they are making really because even if it is a lot, I agreed to x amount per mile. IF I am percentage, they #### well better be showing me the rate con.

 

At a company I Lease to that paid their Owner Operators percentage % pay had favorites who might get more than the others for the same exact load and lane. No transparency what so ever. When I ask to see the rate con, the owner would take me to their specific computer to show me sone b.s inflated numbers as the official rate. I told him, 'Let's log onto the original program on my computer'!!!!.... He started 'Stuttering & Fumbling' over basic words especially "i". I quit immediately because I don't like 'thieves, liars, swindlers or crooks'. Working for the mile, works best for me and anyone who understands that in difficult financial times honest Carries are difficult to find. When you're paid by the mile your pay settlements are on time and usually guaranteed. If you can't gauge your receivables you're not in business.
