OOIDA vs FFE...
Court Documents...
Status...

As of mid-November 2007 - Filed January 2006 in U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas. The court denied class certification in July 2007. The case is moving forward on behalf of OOIDA and three individual truck drivers.

This matter was initially filed as an arbitration dispute, but the arbitrator ruled that FFE’s arbitration clause was unenforceable, so OOIDA and the truckers took the case to federal court.

The truckers contend that FFE has violated federal leasing regs by making unlawful deductions from owner-operator compensation; unlawfully administering escrow money; failing to comply with compensation provisions; forcing leased owner-operators to make purchases; and failing to disclose and document excessive chargebacks.
