Are you kidding they are training every welfare recipient they can find whether they can speak english or not and setting them loose on the roads...the place i used to get my CDL was telling me that they virtually get all their business now from the city.. plus the other five or six schools that popped up

Put a lien on the truck and park it in the back yard behind a locked gate. When the paychecks are made good they get the truck back. Get a judgement in small claims court then sell the truck.

That all costs money that these poor fellas probably don't have. Just to bobtail it home on thier own dime is going to be spendy.
Unfortunately, the company will file for bankruptsy protection and they will be protected by law and the workers that made the company last will be out in the cold.
The owners should be forced to liquidate all personal assests to make good on payrole.

My FIL used to be Owner Operator, and was telling me to do such things would be legally considered abandonment, as it is not on an approved route. Don't know how accurate it is, but could end up being a losing proposition for the drivers.

They can put an abandonment on your record and no company that checks your DAK report will ever hire you basically leaving you with small mom and pop companies that don't pay well and no bennies.
your almost better off having a DUI on your record vs an abandonment honestly.

They need to outlaw or better regulate brokers. THAT is the biggest bunch of leech's on the industry. Actually had one tell me that I should take his frieght cause it would pay for my fuel... Sorry i not out here to almost break even, I was better off running empty

I think someone else in there might have the right idea though, if Arrow owes money to you take the truck to some place to lock it up and file for a lien against it. Someone else made the comment about how Diamler owns the paper on those trucks and you couldn't do that but he is wrong. You can put a lien against someones house even if it's financed through a bank. As long as that lien is on it that house or in this case that truck can not be resold without the liens being at least partially paid (court decides how much each lien holder would get). That would be the proper and maybe only legal recourse. Stripping the trucks or trying to abandon them in bad areas can make the driver both criminally and civilly liable to whoever holds the liens already on the truck.
