Have 2 outstanding invoices on JB Hunt loads, one 90 days and one 60 days. The have shut down all communication. We plan to file on their bond next week. Kinda curious because we have never had trouble with them before.
Thoughts?

Call them again with some creativity. Try to call the person who gave you the load and insist on providing a better contact, I am sure they will eventually pay you. If you do 15 loads for them they might even offer you one year free subscription for XM Radio.feldsforever and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
It took me 6 months to get paid on an invoice from JB Hunt from January this year. No claims or problems with the load. They gave me the run around for months and didn't pay until I finally filed on their bond.
I'd suggest you file on their bond ASAP and never work with them again.feldsforever and 6wheeler Thank this. -
For some reason the really large trucking companies can not handle brokerage. TMC, Mercer, JB Hunt.
Me personally I don't file on bonds, I sue them in my county court. Bonds are subject to being rejected or discounted. If you sue them you can add your own court cost. I add about $500 for taking them to court, a days worth of trucking, compensatory chargesfeldsforever, subseaguru, TheLoadOut and 4 others Thank this. -

How many times have you done that? How have the cases gone? Your local court or the brokers location? Have you received the full amount plus the extras? -
Because your trucking business is in your county that the broker is doing business with it gives you as they call it, subject matter or jurisdiction to sue. You'll want to ask the Clerk of the Court to use the long arm of the law to file a civil suit for money owed to your business. -
I also have sued a large trucking company, and about 4 different telemarketer's for violating the do not call register list, TCPA. Won all of them.
Currently am suing a debt collector for false reporting to my credit report. Should win that one in April.
Sued 2 different landlords for falsely keep my deposits. Both settled out of court before it was heard
Sued a guy for backing into me with his car in a parking lot, but lost that one because of Virginia's insurance law of "contributory negligence" I guess I was in the way when he backed into me. Go figure. Alabama has the same lawBeaver9, JolliRoger and 77fib77 Thank this. -
Over the past few months, we have talked to multiple people in accounts payable at jb hunt, all promising to get us paid. There were no problems with the load. Everyone that we have communicated with now will not answer their phone, return calls, or return emails.
A complaint was files thru Truckstop, they reviewed everything, then sent Hunt a letter giving them 7 days to reply. Got no response, so Truckstop dinged their credit and put a note for all carriers to see.
So, we're filing on the bond this week.
And, when I pass a big warehouse complex, or sitting in traffic, or wherever the mood strikes I make sure everyone within 10 miles who runs a cb knows that JB Hunt may be in financial trouble.Opendeckin, 77fib77 and 6wheeler Thank this. -
So, we contacted their bonding company, providing them the bol's and rate confirmations. Next day, we received an email fron the bonding company with a summary letter and case number which was to be forwarded to JB Hunt.
Almost a week later, we received a call from JB Hunt's accounts payable stating that our invoices have been put in their system and would be paid at the end of Dec. Check for both loads received Jan 4.
Guess the process works eventually.77fib77, Opendeckin, Vampire and 3 others Thank this.
