Respondent's Counteroffer Hide
The claimant's settlement terms were rejected with the following explanation:

  • "Mr Gonzalez signed an Independent Contractor Lease with Cresco Lines to haul loads for our company. In total he hauled 12 loads for us. He has been paid for all 12 loads correctly and we do not understand his complaints. Mr Gonzalez says he was paid incorrectly but has never said anything to us. The first I'm hearing of this is when I received the complaint mailed to us. If Mr Gonzalez wants to set up an appointment with me, I will be more than happy to show him our invoices that we billed to our shippers and he can compare that to his settlement sheets. He claims that the Government gives money to pay for fuel for each load. This simply is not true. Mr Gonzalez is responsible for paying for the fuel he uses not the Government. We do charge our customers a Fuel Surcharge on each load to help offset the high fuel prices and this Fuel Surcharge has been paid to Mr Gonzalez in its entirety. He claims the first week he worked here he should have made $ 4000.00, He took 3 loads the first week for a total of just over 1000 loaded miles, there is no way you make the kind of money he is claiming for driving 1000 miles. He claims we took out 1100.00 for fuel when he thinks it only should have been 250.00. A truck gets between 5 to 6 miles per gallon, at $ 4.00 per gallon he could buy 63 gallons of fuel with the $ 250.00, which would take him at most 378 miles. As I stated earlier he did over 1000 loaded miles plus some deadhead miles. Mr Gonzalez also utilized a fuel card that was issued to him and the only fuel deductions taken from his settlement were charges that were charged on his card. He also has a License Plate that he owes us money for and he purchased some tarps to cover loads that were deducted from him.

    It appears that Mr Gonzalez is unhappy with Cresco and doesn't feel he was compensated as per his contract. As I stated earlier, I will be more than happy to show him our invoices to our shippers. The reason the dispatcher would tell him what each load paid was because we deal with different customers all of which have different rate structures so by telling him before he takes a load what the load pays he has the option of taking that load or waiting for a different one. Mr Gonzalez has also not picked up his final settlement check which he was notified about. Have Mr Gonzalez get ahold of me, We will sit down review his loads with our invoices to the customers, he can return our plate and registration materials and pick up his final settlement check.
