Overage product

Open doors, put it on the tail, backup real fast and slam on the brakes. Shut doors, haul ###.

 

Why do u guys wait for the broker to tell you what they pay for detention? u need to negotiate your price up front when u negotiate a rate.. or do u let them tell you what they pay for the load as well? You are running a business right? Id give them a couple hours to figure it out on their end. If they fail to figure it out, i will tell them whats going to happen. Be a problem solver and start cracking the whip.. you need to run a business like a business or you will get pushed around out here... So come up with your own solution to your problem and tell the broker whats gonna happen. They have had plenty of time to figure it out.

 

Would need a lot more information to make an honest decision.

If the receiver was in Miami I’d just head home and gladly collect the $600 per day while I sit poolside sipping on suds. Because, let’s be honest here, it’s dry van freight that probably didn’t pay crap to begin with so $600 to sit is actually a good deal.

If it was urgent that I get it off my trailer to service another customer and keep the broker happy then I would drop it at R&L in Fort Pierce. Let the broker and shipper sort it out.

What’s likely happening is the shipper is trying to find a buyer for the product so I wouldn’t go trying to sell it. If you did, besides not getting paid for the original load you could be setting yourself up for more problems.

If there’s a chance of them telling you to dispose of it (I highly doubt they will) then you can do what you want.

But at the end of the day it’s like @D.Tibbitt said we need to have everything in writing before there’s a problem.

 

If you’re in Florida I’ll gladly move it into my trailer for you

 

is it on any paperwork?

if not go look for a small mom and pop store, offer it all to them for $2500 and dump it.
