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.

@sonsofliberty3081 11 ай бұрын

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.

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.

This happened to me back in 1980. I had 3 trucks and 3 flatbed trailers. I was running all 3 from baytown texas to fairbanks alaska. for 2 months. I was in alaska with 2 of my trucksand trailers when my brother in law who drove 1 of the rigs heard that the company we were hauling for up and disappeared. The oil field we were delivering too refused the loads so we sold them for whatever we could get and went back to baytown. Got to the company and found over 100 drivers had been stranded all over the country with nothing. The company was investigated by the IRS and then just loaded up and flew out in helecopters. I was out over $250,000 and had all my trucks and trailers repossessed.

My boss had a trusted customer order $600k of electrical goods and shipped it to Lebanon and left owing my boss. We went to his house to see what we could reclaim and found two other companies out there doing the same thing, he ripped of many people for millions all shipped to Lebanon including luxury cars and SUV’s. Then he and his family joined his booty in Lebanon. We managed to recover a small tip truck and a forklift (not ours but it’s worth something and we can take it before the other victims turn up looking to reclaim something of value. I’d say $3-4 million is value of what he stole, construction supplies fetch good money in Lebanon 6x what it’s worth here in Australia. Anyway live and learn hopefully.

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.

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%.

Yeah I drove for Migway out of Pineville Nc a bunch of Russians or something but they advertised 60 plus cents per mile and driver videos with drivers claiming they were earning $2200 or better every week. I’ve been driving over 18 years and after driving over the road with them for 3 weeks I quit. They only paid 55 cents per mile and the checks were pitiful. I took them their truck back, turned the key in to the shop and bought me a rental car home. These sorry jokers didn’t pay me one dime after running loads that week from Indiana to Maryland, PA, Massachusetts, down to Road Island to Lawrenceville Va missed getting home for Thanksgiving and they kept my paycheck. Claiming over $450 for unauthorized use of the truck, $150 for truck detail, $200 for reimbursement when I asked and received nothing from them I ain’t broke. And $50 for insurance even though I quit. These people are scammers. I personally have spoken with several drivers who have quit.

Another reason why it can be better to be an employee than to be self employed. Sure the pay probably isn’t as good, but there is job security and you basically know what to expect, plus the pay is still a lot regardless. At the last place I worked at, once topped out apparently long haul truckers would make 5k+ after taxes every two weeks, or in other words over $130k a year after taxes, and that’s without factoring stock compensation which is another 26k. That’s with working 48 hours a week, if you picked up shifts or worked more, the paychecks and stock compensation goes up as well.

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.

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.

Too much? How do you do it bro?

@hawaiiangunner 10 ай бұрын

I put on a rubber glove and I just smear it around. That way I don't have to use all of that and waste so much.

@@guyinatruckI put about 1/4 the amount you do on the 5th wheel. And drop the airbags. When very close to the kingpin, raise and finish coupling. Or just put a decent about at the 2 points that contact the trailer so it smears it forward onto the 5th wheel

If you don't drop the apron after you almost click the kingpin jaws, most of that grease will be pushed off and wasted.

Same thing happens in construction. Companies usually will commission for massive orders under a certain account for a project but then refuse to pay for as long as they can in hopes that the company they ordered from will bankrupt before they get paid, and it will work sometimes if the company is smaller.

Trucking is really bad thought. My uncle was a trucker for 20 years. And he wouldn't take jobs from certain companies cause they would use contract work clauses and bs to keep from paying people or to shirt their pay.

@@2147B Do NOT use a rubber glove. A guy was doing that at a company I worked at years ago. There was a sliver of steel hidden in the old grease. When he ran his hand over it to spread the grease, it shoved that sliver right up under his fingernail through the glove and all the way up the inside of his finger.
