oversize partial ?

What a D Bag, if you factored them your factoring company would come with some guns too

What in the hell do they care if you had something else on your trailer.

 

If you file name the shipper as only defendant named and list the rest as defendants unknown now but to be named later.
That way you'll put a wedge between the shipper and ATS and anyone else that may pop up later.
If remember correctly ats does have an exclusive use part on rate sheet. But is it on main sheet or subsequent ones?
Plus the shipper chose to load you after knowing that you had something on your trailer and gave their ok by the act of loading you.
Shipper could've sent you on without loading you. This is another reason I don't fool with LTL crap and ATS has had real cheap rates on anything I get privy to. I would choose where I file suit carefully and include a provision in my complaint wanting to bar defendants from Blackballing to.
This isn't legal advice just how I'd do it myself if the need arose. I'm still looking for my million.

 

Make sure you take a dump on their desk in the courtroom! I don't hate too many companies, because we're all ###### trying to get our piece but I CANNOT stand ATS/Sureway

 

I got a blast email from sureaway wanting to pay 4.00 a mile for a 14ft wide and you bought permits and escorts out of that. Od rates have sucked for 2-3 years now my signs haven't seen daylight but once in the last year.

 

Was it an exclusive use rate?

 

$3 a mile MORE than what ATS was willing to bill them

 

I have ran "exclusive use" loads before, but the load also paid accordingly. In fact, one was a single box that paid me $8 mile from IN to WI, and it fit in my 24x24 sidebox. But hey, they paid for the use of my truck.

 

Exclusive use is a joke, who the hell is anyone to tell us what we can do with our trucks? Thats like telling a mechanic after he gets done working on our truck to lock the tools he used on it up and that he can't use them on anyone else's truck.
