oversize partial ?

I totally agree.

I always tell them it's mine, I'm taking it home

 

Some of them are real picky about it. CSX won't allow anything else on the trailer that has their junk on it. I don't know how allfr8 moves their cheap stuff. It always 1.00 to 2.15 a mile. When I call them I always ask have they started paying more?
If was me I'd send the shipper a demand for payment with a copy of the suit to be filed if they didn't pay.

 

Actually, it's nothing like that. The scenario you are presenting would be akin to a non-compete contract, which is nothing like the situation the OP was working with.

Sorry, but I don't have a lot of sympathy for the OP in this case. He has admitted he violated the agreement by either accidentally, or willfully, ignoring the rate sheet. He had the opportunity to decide whether to accept the exclusive use terms or not. Nobody forced him to take the load.

BTW, I am not saying that I agree with the carrier, or their action, but they and the customer have a legitimate beef.

 

Fine by me. I'll close and lock my box, go home, but I expect my 12 hours of pay.

See ya tomorrow

 

Few years back, I carried my motorcycle on my upper deck, since I rarely hauled anything up there. I constantly had problems with shippers complaining about exculusive use till I tell them that it was my personal bike.
One day went to haul load of pipe and had shipper want me to remove the bike so they could put a pallet of glue on the upper deck. I clealy stated in the rate sheet, that they was only renting the lower 42' deck. I showed them this, they called the broker and shipped the pallet on another truck. Then was told not to come back.
You take them to court, you and you'll probably win your money but I doubt you'll get attoney fees. Sometimes winning the battle loses the war.

 

You can have an attorney in small claims and if you're suing an INC. either an officer thats stated in the corp papaers or lawyer has to represent them
or in Al. they do. If you send a demand for payment to the shipper via fax or email ats will be calling you. I had a LS agent once told me they's doing me a favor trying to get me a tonu. I called the shipper and the originating broker was all over them, lady said you can't call the customer. I told her, you wasn't interested in getting me paid they sure are. told the stupid lady never call me agian.

 

That didn't turn out very good.What happened??
