All of the moving company’s could care less about the driver and are only in it for the profits, while it is the driver and the crews that should be recognized for their performance.

All of these moving company’s will hold the drivers earning after they delivered the customers belongings especially in the event of a leave over, claiming they don’t know what to pay you until the overflow is delivered even though the truth and federal leasing laws Title 49 CFR state that you the driver must be paid within 15 days of the company receiving the paper work.

Each Moving company has set their own rates as we call tariffs which undercut the drivers.

If you are an independent driver there is no negotiating the rates, so really you are classified as an employee, per the IRS rulings

ElD {electronic log bog} are mandated by the government for 1999 or newer trucks but on the other hand as a independent driver  and the truth and federal leasing laws Title 49 CFR 376.12 specifically state, ( you are not required too rent or purchase any products or equipment upon entering a lease agreement. this means: you have a right to your own insurance of your liking, painting the truck whatever color you wish too, unless the company is will to pay for it to be painted there colors.

Back in the day drivers use to get paid for stairs, long carry’s, voluminous articles, buy some yo yo with the American moving associations decided, lets  single factor all these into the move which equates to about 10.00 per move.

Many of the moving  company’s  allow their customers to rate their drivers and either pay less money or more money, this idea is really a form of discrimination, its like allowing customers at Wal-Mart to rate employees and pay them less money for that quarter or year.

All moving company’s will not provide the driver with a billed Fright bill to validate their income based on a computer generated statement, so it is not one of the same. paragraph (D) When a lessor’s revenue is based on a percentage of the gross revenue for a shipment, the lease must specify that the authorized carrier will give the lessor, before or at the time of settlement, a copy of the rated freight bill, or, in the case of contract carriers, any other form of documentation actually used for a shipment containing the same information that would appear on a rated freight bill. Regardless of the method of compensation, the lease must permit lessor to examine copies of the carrier’s tariff or, in the case of contract carriers, other documents from which rates and charges are computed, provided that where rates and charges are computed from a contract of a contract carrier, only those portions of the contract containing the same information that would appear on a rated freight bill need be disclosed. The authorized carrier may delete the names of shippers and consignees shown on the freight bill or other form of documentation.

Large Moving company’s have long forgotten the importance and retention of drivers, especially the old timers, many moving companies would rather hire an inexperienced driver then an experienced drivers which leaves the customers belongings to be destroyed.

Many of the drivers are paying out on average 200.00 per man to help the driver, while some as we call lumpers are trying to gouge the drivers for even more

The moving company’s do not factor any labor in the freight bill so technically the line haul is for transportation only and does not include labor cost.

Moves are discounted to the customer with out the drivers say so or input, to you ( you are just another number)

Moving company’s leave their self open for huge law suits by not following the truth and federal leasing laws, period………..

Time for change

As always drivers stay safe, say no to cheap freight.
