The 6 traps hidden in most carrier leases
Most operators don't find these until the deductions start. The Analyzer finds them before you sign.
Hidden chargebacks
Open-ended deduction language like "to be determined by carrier" lets them dock your pay without an itemized schedule — a 49 CFR 376 violation.
Escrow traps
Maintenance or security escrows that are forfeited (not reconciled) if you leave early — thousands gone with one signature.
Insurance at carrier rates
Forced to buy bobtail and cargo coverage through the carrier at 10–20% above market — quietly costing you every month.
One-sided termination
They can end the lease on 24 hours' notice while you owe 30 days — and your escrow sits with them in the meantime.
Unpaid deadhead miles
All repositioning to pickup and from delivery unpaid — absorbing thousands of unpaid miles a month.
Carrier-friendly arbitration
Binding arbitration in the carrier's home jurisdiction — turning any dispute into a costly trip across the country.
