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.. :smokin:

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?

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.
