[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1132311, member: 13921"] [b]Re: Someone Tell Me How The Ground "SCAM" Is Any Different Than Any Other Franchise M[/b] Not any different than a driver that leases a truck with an OTR carrier. Most agreements restrict them to pulling only trailers with the lease company. That means, if a driver is stuck somewhere, they cannot go to something like a Landstar load board, find on outgoing load, book it and haul. They have to sit until their company finds them a load. Even if that means they cannot make their truck payment, they have to sit until the company finds them a load. That seems to be quite a bit more control than the FE contractor model. As distasteful as it is to most of us, this is yet another case where big money as spoken. Good thing the trucking industry was deregulated, eh. [/QUOTE]
