Was headed towards my pickup this morning and my trusty broker calls wanting ETA because her customer wants to get everything ready for my arrival... Sounds great.
I tell her I'm 30 minutes away, fantastic was her reply.
5 minutes later she calls back to inform me the load is canceled!!! SMH
C'Mon man

If it's any consolation to your problem, those 5 minutes could've lead to bigger problems (accident, etc.). You got off easy this time

If your going that way and feel like it, stop by the shipper and say "I'm here to pick up xyz123 going to wherever" and see what kind of answer they give you.Mattflat362, Lite bug, Tug Toy and 9 others Thank this. -
The shipper didn't "cancel" that load. An order for a tractor trailer just doesn't get "cancelled".
What the receiver decided they didn't need a tractor trailer load of inventory? And if something else happened like production or mechanical failure the broker would have been happy to explain the problem instead of saying it's "cancelled"
Translation, someone else got that load.old time, tlalokay, Mattflat362 and 10 others Thank this. -

I showed up about 5 years ago at a chemical plywood treatment plant after the broker called and said it was cancelled. Guess what, I picked up the load and called the broker back and said, there must have been a mistake. This load is good, I got it and it's on the way.JolliRoger, Mattflat362, Lite bug and 9 others Thank this. -
Midwest Trucker, Rideandrepair, 6wheeler and 1 other person Thank this.
