Lumpers??

Seems like a storage situation to me.

 

I never would pay a lumper upfront, in the past I always told the lumpers it was company policy I could not pay until the load was accepted. That was over 12 years ago. I don't deal with lumpers anymore.

 

Very familiar with those douche bags there. Spent over 10 hours there because they didn't want to unload early(appointment was @ 10:00 pm-I arrived at 2:00 pm).

 

C&S is real good at playing games. I hope the broker or company was able to get you some detention pay. Before I started telling them company policy was unload before payment, I almost learned the hard way on prepay. I unloaded in Dallas and prepaid a lumped service. They unloaded me,but never did the correct breakdown and took off. I was able to call the company in time so they could cancel the comcheck. Needless to say lumped never got paid. The receiver was upset and wanted me to do the breakdown. My response was nope, followed up by it was their problem for letting crooks on their dock taking advantage of drivers. Long story short. The receiver signed the bills and did the breakdown. You have to stand your ground and be professional.

 

The whole lumper system is a fraud and I'm still amazed that companies tolerate it. I don't really care because I'm a co. driver so its not coming out of my pocket. But what a scam!
Company A ordered 10,000 widgets from Company B. I delivered them to you safely, on time and with no damage to the widgets. And now I have to pay you to unload the product that you ordered and I delivered to you? Unbelievable but legal scam...

 

Organized crime at its finest. $290 to unload one trailer of ice cream, and NONE of the pallets were mixed. There was no breakdown, yet it took them 3hrs to do it. It shouldn't ever take more than an hour to unload a trailer. I'm in the wrong business, I could be making over $2300 a day....lol

 

Stop being lazy and unload it yourself like me.These lumper fees are such a scam,even though it's not my money I refuse to pay scam artists!
