Also, Dave I've been seeing a lot of the smaller carriers secretly cut their primary liability and cargo insurance limits. There is a pretty big multi-carrier model carrier on here that has reduced their insurance limits to 750,00 for liability, and 5,000 for cargo. I doubt that they notified the partner carriers that they are signed up with that they have reduced their coverage limits to save money.
I'm not going to name names or even give out that information in PM. If you are interested in finding out that type of information you are going to have to do some old fashioned detective work. Just be careful when dealing with smaller carriers. One event can cause a carrier to go belly up and it is so easy to just file bankruptcy and walk away with the drivers money.
Have any of you been 1099 by LRT for money that was never paid to you? Please make sure that if a company rips you off that they don't get away with keeping the money tax free. You can at least make them get in trouble with the IRS if they cheat you out of money and then try and wiggle their way out of paying taxes on it. I never had any complaints about paying my drivers on here. I pride myself in that fact!
