Well, GMAN, the broker doesn`t owe me 400 to 3k, it`s other o/o I know and he owes them, actually. My paycheck -wich accordind to him I will see after the 10 of Jan- should be around 2400$. Many loads we used to take with him, we had no clue how much they were being paid, but there was an unwritten rule that no load would be under 1.20-1.30$/mile (about 70% of them were around 2$/mile). If you would ask about how much the load is paid he would get nasty;
Oh, and about refusing a load, that was ok, I could refuse any load if I wanted, of course, but the problem was, after being in a truckstop for 2-4 days, believe me, you would take anything just to atleast start moving. The guy gets his loads thru NLMI most of the time, and those loads don`t come too often;
So, the only option you really have is take it or leave it, get stuck another 2-3 days in that place or drive a load wich is designated for a team normally. The broker doesn`t care you burn your fuel for days idling or spend you money on food or whatever you need while waiting, or if you have to drive empty 200-400 miles to get a load empty; he gets 25% of gross, not profit, plus of course we pay 100$/week for using his trailer -wich I guess it`s fair.
I guess what Im looking for is a phone number I could call or an email address where I could report him -many times driving down the road actually I was tempted to pull into a scale and have the officer pull me over for 10 hours, but that seemed too risky, but atleast I`ve could of taking a justified sleep brake
Once again, thx u all for trying to help. I will look into OOIDA list, I am one of their members.
Good luck on the big road!
goodluck
