Can't put a lien on until you go to court. That is the reason you go to small claims court.
Same with a 1099. Just sending one to the IRS doesn't mean anything if it is denied. Then you go to small claims court.
It may have been the case some time ago but with the way the economy is, all police depts would be doing is that. Worth a call but I wouldn't be too optimistic.
Probably need to find out why. As mentioned, a call from OOIDA may help. After that a personal visit and or small claims court. Make sure you have the BOL's confirming you completed the runs.
They are broke and part of the euro so that is why they are wanting to do it. Much different here, we can print money when we get low. They can't do that. Comforting isn't it.:cool:
Ok...good to know. Not sure what they would say with a fleet of trucks. If there is a limit, maybe throw on the oldest first and see what happens. New ones have towing already but not for flats.
That was my original thought, then he says you get 500. That is the problem. Either he doesn't really know his contract or he isn't articulating it very well.
Playing "devils advocate"
One never knows with these kind of threads as we are hearing only one side.
Also.....not sure what this means? " Return of escrow after two notice is for filled $500."
Since that statement makes little sense, would could also make an assumption that you might not...
There isn't AAA for comercial vehicles. Running a truck out of fuel and then calling a service truck can be over 500 depending on where you are at. Being "dumb" can be expensive.
It is all about risk as a group. To weed the good from the bad, they are going to use credit scores, driving history and what ever else to determine that risk.
No different than buying a house that hasn't flooded but is in a flood zone.
If they continue to charge their standard fare, your freight opportunites are likely to stay basically the same unless their fleet count drops. Time will tell on that one I guess.
