Physical damage take that differed from the amount in the lease
The settlement
Brett Holman is a leased owner operator who runs reefer out of Dallas. Physical damage came off every settlement. The lease named a weekly amount. The statement used a higher one.
He had the signed lease and six weeks of statements. He did not have a way to hold that line against the clause that was supposed to set it, week after week.
The match
He uploaded the lease once and the six statements. Pay Oper indexed the physical damage clause and compared each week's take to that amount.
Where a week differed from the lease, it flagged the line and showed that section of his contract. It never called the take illegal. He decided whether to send a request.
What Pay Oper showed
What he could see:
- Physical damage take next to the weekly amount written in the lease.
- Flags on weeks that differed from that amount.
- The exact section of the lease that was supposed to authorize the line.
- A request he could send himself, from his own email.
Pay Oper did not contact the carrier. Brett sent the note himself.
What he uploaded
After that week
He keeps uploading each week. If a later statement uses a different physical damage amount, the same clause is there to check it against.
The product never calls a deduction illegal.
If he wants the carrier to look at a week that differs, he sends that request from his own email.
