So how do you prevent a company from stiffing you the bill? Do you charge beforehand or do you make sure they pay for 1 dropoff before doing another? Also if the guy was making $17 million a year in revenue he definitely recovered, but it probably hurt a lot to take that hit in the short term.

Pro tip. Don't jump off your truck or trailer. You'll pay for it later on. Also, just open the grease tube and smack it off the 5th wheel a few times. Don't stand there and pump all that out.

Doesn’t work that way unfortunately. Biz files BK and most of these drivers are 1099 self-employed freelancers so you’re providing a service without upfront pay. Because of the self-employed laws you make more money and pay less in taxes but you’re also responsible for everything else. Have contracts with companies that want to pay immediately. The whole industry needs to fight back for better agreement contracts

That's why "fraud" in these situations is so hard to prove because a lawyer or the company could have been banking on an economic recovery or blamed a rise in gas and warehouse fees or who knows what reason to not pay him and the judge might say well, it's clear that there was bad luck going on for the company and not fraud.

Only money owed as a criminal proceeding and child support/alimony payments continue. So unless it was under a criminal proceeding, it's hard to believe it happened. Not saying it didn't happen, but there must be something else that made it exempt from automatic stay. Unless the debt was also not covered under the discharge of bankruptcy, in which case your dad would have to prove that it was a wilful case of fraud. Which I assumed he did if the story is truw

@@teddy3k3 I can't tell you what all happened, I just know what my dad's lawyer told him. This was 20+ years ago and was a business bankruptcy, not a personal one. His lawyer was thrilled to find out he'd filed for unpaid wages before they declared bankruptcy, and said any of his coworkers would have a hard time collecting if they tried to file after. And according to every coworker he talked to, that's exactly what happened. Two of them said they went to file claims after the business declared bankruptcy, and their claims were thrown out. My dad's wasn't. And I personally saw the settlement check, so I know he wasn't lying about getting it.

Somehow he got away with it too. That industry is no joke.

Walmart: understandable, we'll get someone else. A lot of big companies do exactly what the video describes, expect it's more like 90 days, and they generally don't go bankrupt. Paying you late fees is often cheaper than the interest on a line of credit, and they have enough business to force you to put up with it if you want their money. Standby lines of credit are a good idea in this case though, if the company goes under or refuses to pay, the bank pays you instead, and their lawyers go after the company. Basically insurance.

Same thing happened to a hotshot driver friend of mine. He was hauling tiny homes and storage sheds from one roadside location to another for a flat rate per unit. This went on for weeks "we'll pay you when they're ALL delivered." They stopped answering the phone and never showed to the location. So, he's got 3 tiny homes and a couple sheds for sale. 😂. I got one free. Now he won't take multi-day jobs from new clients without DAILY payment. No pay today, no work tomorrow. It's in his contracts. He was in the middle of a job and they stopped paying. He told them he wouldn't be back tomorrow. "That's fine. Well call you next week." Next week he was in Wyoming and they were pissed he hadn't been at home waiting by the phone for their call. They had stuff they needed to be delivered! Shoulda read the contract. Man's got to make a living...

Its called Net 120 payment terms. Its not shady, just not preferred unless that vendor has a very good credit history and payment history. I almost always recommend 50% deposit, net 30 for the rest, if they go past due its 30% interest plus late fees for any service company. Keeps you in business but also keeps the other company or customer accountable.

Agreed but that’s not exactly how big contracts work. 3 months (90 days / quarterly) is pretty good for those numbers. I’ve seen smaller contracts with longer dates . That’s where the saying don’t write cheques you can’t cash originates from 😆 Unless you meant 30 to 60 days after the original 90 days. But again, if you’re on 17M a year then it’s probably more beneficial to spread a good name than to not haul their stuff. The fact that they went bankrupt is where things fall apart as if it’s like that, the hauling company probably shouldn’t have taken the work on to start with / didn’t do their homework 1000%.

I was an ltl trucker,got paid hourly, worked for a company. My company leased the trucks. I had a rig with a lift gate. I noticed a serious crack in it and wrote it up. A couple of days later I got that same trailer back,did my inspection thinking that they replaced it or in the least welded it. Nope, they just painted over it and wrote that trailer up again with plenty of choice words. I quit that company soon after that when they pulled a fast one. Ltl is a mixed load. I would inspect my load and noticed a black plastic around the pallet and a generic bill of laden with no description or weight. That's odd. When I pulled the black plastic off and it was a food item. That day I also got loaded with a 6.1 in the nose. Transporting a 6.1,a poison with food is illegal and subject to a major fine on driver and company.

Companies like Pegasus and JSI (and other freight forwarders) love to pick on independent truckers, and small trucking companies. They hold what they owe you and after lots of harassing they send little bits at a time, paying off the smallest bills first. Pegasus specifically owed us over 10 grand on several occasions, so we picked up all their freight they wanted us to get and held it hostage until they paid up. The trucking industry sucks to work for. I've gone months without pay waiting for these bigger companies to pay up before.

I poured DEF in the fuel tanks of 35 trucks, (DEF paid for out of pocket with cash), drilled holes into the company's above-ground 10,000 gallon fuel tank for the trucks, reported the diesel spill to the government (the company never did, the government found out because of me, and punished them), and burned down the owner's house while he was in jail. This company was too cheap to have security cameras on their property and I attacked all of my targets over the course of only 2 nights within significantly less than a year without being caught. They paid for their corruption without directly paying me.

That’s how it is at bars and restaurants too. I worked at a brewing Company called Rivertown not long after they opened and they had me work for free for 10 hours and when I went back asking when I work again, they told me that I was not on the hiring list and that they would not pay me And every day I drove past, the brewery looked dead and empty even when I went to pick up DoorDash orders it still dusty and empty where they were signature for every delivery pick up. I remember less than one year they closed for good and it turned out they were filing for bankruptcy because they didn’t listen or care about what the workers had to say about coming up with ideas And solutions to the company.

Everybody who is saying that’s how business works clearly has never been nothing more than a worker. This poor trucker worked against himself. The comment that said “once payment stops work stops” is the brightest comment i read here. The trucker could’ve hauled a load on his truck and said if he doesn’t see payment immediately all loads stop. He would’ve found out that farmer couldn’t pay much much earlier. Moral of the story is rich people never work for free, poor people do.

Yeah.. my dad who is a trucker for 30+ years I. The US had this happen to him and us around 2010. I remember that time, because thank God for food stamps and free food centers at local churches. We are a family of 7, so when my dad didn’t get paid 4-6 months it was a a time of trials for them . As kids we didn’t think much because our parents still provided and did their best. Long story short, he obviously left them to work for himself and they settled in a lawsuit and won. Idk if they won all the money, but they won some for sure. Lots of corrupt and greedy companies who find it okay for families to suffer like that.

The shady stuff doesn’t only happen in trucking. I used to work in HVAC. We had two customers who were bad pay. One had a restaurant and the other had a small grocery store. They’d call for service. We’d come out and fix their equipment. However, neither would pay until the next time something broke. When we went out, they’d pay for the previous service, but we’d have to wait for payment on the current call until the next time something broke. My boss kept letting them get away with this for several years before he finally wised up. The final straw came when one of them on a Saturday. A piece of paper had gotten sucked into a fan on the refrigeration unit for cooler. It was making a racket but wasn’t anything serious. I took the cover off, removed the paper, and the problem was solved. The customer refused to pay, because he said I didn’t really have to do anything.
