Bakers Corner (Formerly Tradewinds Logistics)

Does anybody have any experience in working with these guys? We have been getting jerked around all day by this company. I dispatched their driver at 11am and at 2:30 we called him to see if he got loaded. The driver said that he was still not empty from his previous load. We called the dispatcher to get the scoop about the driver and the dispatcher said that he had to send the driver for a urinalysis test. Their stories didnt even come close to matching up. Shortly after that their truck posts on the DAT. We posted a ghost load with one of our cell phone numbers on it under our trucking company MC and the stupid ####### called us wanting information on the load. It is trucking companies like this that really hurt everyone. Shopping rates and booking freight with no intention of loading. Apparently Tradewinds is out of business and now they are doing business as Bakers Corner under a brand new MC#. We think that they may have just been digging for our customers information out of New Jersey and had no intention of loading us at all. I would not advise anybody to use this company.

 

Terrible. Terrible company. The driver somehow snuck in and got our load on Friday after we took them off of it. Now the driver is in Maryland somewhere saying he has a trailer that is broken down and his other story is that the reciever doesnt want the load until tomorrow. I personally scheduled the delilvery appointment for this shipment with the reciever on Friday. The dispacher doesnt give a F$$k that his driver is completely worthless. Now all parties on their side of turned their phones off. I now see why they have a new operating MC number. I wouldnt load this carrier if it was the only truck that I had and it came down to that truck or lose a customer. Id lose the customer.

 

The driver called this morning asking when the load is suppossed to deliver???!!!?? I was like, "you were supposed to be there yesterday morning buddy." He said, "ohh, I am in Baltimore, its about a 10 hour trip." If he is not there in the morning we are filing a highjack claim on the load.
We load 1 truck operations all the time. America thrives on small business owners. We load owner operators daily, but this is ridiculous. This reason alone is why brokers wont load carriers with a brand new MC number. Because they dont know what the f$%k they are doing. He's got some dumb uneducated #$^%@$ driving a truck that only wants to run on his schedule.

 

Hey formertaxidriver, I know how to look up a carrier. We check all of our carriers on safersys.org. And our freight is not lowpaying. He was probalby an uneducated taxidriver before he started driving trucks.
