The lawsuit, filed in federal court, alleges that JMS Trucking of Cedar Rapids, and an affiliate, JMS Transportation, signed contracts with several independent drivers or transportation companies, including Brandon Souder, Randy Sanderson, Isaiah Hughes & Sons Trucking, Final Destination Trucking and Conway Transport. Each contract allegedly specifies that the wages paid to the contracted drivers would be based on a “copy of the rated freight bill” that documents the fees collected by JMS, as a broker, from various companies for arranging to transport their products.
