The first sign of trouble is when a company isn't upfront with who you're applying to. The should be proud of their name and brand, if not run. Just look at what JB Hunt does, they started hiding who they were in ads because people avoided them at all costs. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO...

Why only those brands? How many trucks are you looking to buy? Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

How are people running loads with nothing on paper or a QC to make everything clear and binding? Beware of drivers that do this. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

There would be some big liability issues for someone to offer owner financing on a van. The biggest ones being that you don't pay for it or have an accident. I would try to figure out another way or just drive for an owner until you can buy your own. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums...

There are a few bigger companies like TMC, Werner, and US Xpress might still be involved. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

The one issue with a typical flatbed company is tarpping, it is time consuming and you get paid very little for it. There might be some other companies out there for vans to consider first and then switch to a flatbed company later so you can go with one that requires driving experience. If you...

If you get a load from another source you are still signed on with FedEx/Panther, you just booked your own load which is why you get 85%. The contract you will sign with the major companies will be exclusive use.

How else would he know all the information? It surely wasn't driver gossip because he had the information as it was happening.

There is plenty of proof that someone at the office was sharing information, the fact that he had so much information and knew what and when things were happening is really all you need. Bolt has the option of showing their integrity and value for the privacy of customers and business partners...

I guess when half of your posters are out of commission it decreases the post count. Hopefully whoever was sharing the information at the office gets fired because they should be keeping business information confidential, I believe the contract says so. I guess if a company has no integrity or...

Good Idea. I think your anger over the situation is causing you to feel that anyone who doesn't want to break John's legs or have him get gang raped in a prison shower is supporting him. If you look at what xiggi is saying he isn't defending John at all, he is just warning you that you could be...

He could have a $10k bond and not have $10k, he might have purchased a bond. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

What are you complaining about if you didn't have any issues from signing on with multiple companies? Of course anyone can sign up with multiple carriers, you were warned that it was a bad move and decided you knew better than the experienced guys here then ended up getting burned. You had the...

Yeah but lawyers cost money, personal threats online are free. :rolleyes: We have a system that protects people that can't pay their bills, it can hurt innocent people at times but there is no way to get blood from a stone. The complaints after the fact are interesting because all the...

One of the issues you guys will also need to research is if LRT was passing the loads through the brokerage which some companies may do if they pay the drivers a percentage. He may have done it to hide money or make extra money if he was falling behind, you could then file against the bond and...

The issue is cloudy and it does depend on some facts which I am sure no one here has, it would require more research on the O/O's part. One easy case to win would be if the shipper still hadn't paid LRT. There are many questions that need to be answered before any of the O/O'S spend to much of...

Actually what I stated is widely known information, I wasn't revealing some little known secret. A gas station that isn't paid can't go after the shipper as they are not part of the contract or directly involved with the freight so what I said has nothing to do with your example. The idea of...

The shipper is still responsible for the O/O to be paid. Look at all the home renovation scams, a general contractor will go pick up building supplies do part of the job and then take off. The home owner gave the general contractor the money but he never paid the supplier or sub contractor so...

The line is sure to be a long one. All you have to do is contact the shipper and request payment from them, they have a responsibility to make sure that they use a company that will pay for the load to be delivered. You can sue both the shipper and LRT for payment. Sent from my ADR6400L using...

I don't live that far away from them and I have a lot of family down there if they prefer to hand a check directly to a person. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums
