What happens when a you and a broker agree on a rate, sign the rate conf. Thursday at 4pm and agree to pick up a load Friday at 7AM, going 100 miles deadhead. After loading the 48ft. flatbed they realize it needs 53ft flatbed and wont load it. What happens then?
What happens if broker ordered the wrong equipment?

You charge them for truck ordered not used. You should have negotiated beforehand what that charge is to be. If not, it may not be too late. Tell the broker you want paid for truck ordered not used, as you were there and ready to haul the load. It probably won't be more than $150 or so, but at least it pays for the fuel.
chalupa Thanks this. -
I agree with RWD. Usually the broker will find that info out up front and tell you but not always. You need to make sure the broker knows what size trailer you have before accepting the load though because most want 53 footers with swing doors now.

The way I'm reading it we got to look at why a 48' got loaded in the first place.If the broker listed it as 48'and you called then he should pay you the TONU.If the customer said 48' and realized after loading that a 48' wasn't the right size they should pay you TONU.If it said 53' and you called and got the load then showed up with the wrong equipment then you screwed up and you just wasted everyone's time.Hope it works out for you.
