....not trying to start a debate or hijack this thread.

...don't worry... it's not a hijack, if you are really just doing the OP a favor,
and bumping the thread back to the top.

[Roadhog]

BTW... I'd like to remind everyone of;

Hog's Thread Bumping Service ( 5 cents... still cheap )


...unless of course you are a non-union OP
cost for you will be min. $50 bux
Over a two page response thread, and costs could go $300 +
Your thread may be a month old, by the time I get to it.
Deal with it scab.

Please note, that's not the same as my thread-killing service, which is still free.

As a side note, we don't allow lumpers in my neck of the woods.

I have just started earning getting tough to save 25% of it.
Hope will get soon doing so. But it seems that I am going to learn a lot here.

Now that is a pin point location.

Question for you all.... being a company driver who is getting paid percentage, Does my boss have to show me paperwork that proves how much he is being paid by the broker for the loads? What is that paperwork called?

It is called a rate confirmation. If you are paid percentage of the load, then he should be willing to show you a copy of the rate confirmation. The rate confirmation could include the fsc. Sometimes it is separated out, other times it isn't.

What is fsc?

Thank you everybody.. I noticed that GMAN said "should be" willing to show me. Does that mean that he doesn't "HAVE" to show it to me? I have a feeling that i'm not being paid 25 percent like they say i am. I think they are just writing a cheaper number down on my pay sheet and saying that is what the load pays. It's time for me to head to Knoxville and Atlanta. I will check your answers when i get home at the end of the week. Thanks again..

The truth in leasing laws address showing an owner operator who is leased to a carrier having a right to see the rate confirmation or rate sheet, as I recall. I don't believe that it addresses drivers who work for an owner operator or carrier who is paid percentage.

I have always paid drivers percentage. They always know what a load pays before picking up the load. If they ask to see a rate confirmation, they are free to see it. I have every driver sign a contract which outlines what is expected of both of us. It covers their compensation along with other things. It helps to avoid any problems concerning pay or reimbursements, etc.,

I don't have to worry about it anymore. I turned my keys in today. 5 minutes after i put my keys on the desk, i get the best paycheck I've had since i started working for that company. I took home more with this check than I've grossed any other week ( with the exception of 1 week ) in the 3 months that i was there. O-well, to late now.

It sounds like you question your decision to quit? Do you have another job lined up yet?

[freebirdrfd]

I don't question it. They don't like to fix anything and they didn't pay all that great. I was tired of driving with almost no heat and sleeping on a mattress with springs poking through. I don't have anything full time lined up yet, but i can run for a guy local 1 or 2 nights a week for now. I wouldn't have minded being out for 5 days like i was if the money was better. I was leaving Mass and doing 4 or 5 stops around Florida or the Atlanta area, reloading and coming back to Mass and not even grossing a grand a week.
