Read what you sign folks
I recieved an updated contract from a local rock yard this week for me to sign, 11 pages long just to haul some rocks seems ridiculous to start with. As I started reading through (I'm guessing most don't) section 15 really popped out to me. I would be signing my consent to inspections of my shop and office!? And anything they wanted to look at the way I read this.
This rock quarry has their own trucking company as well, I can't imagine them wanting to go through peoples offices looking at records, rates, customers - and honestly they probably wouldn't...but I'm signing that they would have permission to do just that.
Am I reading this the wrong way? Would you sign this? FYI I asked the owner about it, and was just told if I don't sign I don't haul. Kinda sucks, but am not signing.
