As a company driver the only thing this will cost you is a bit of time and aggravation. As a carrier, you get with the produce broker and he will find someone to buy the product, you just gotta negotiate a fair rate to haul it to that location.

Charlie I got 2 suggestions for you and maybe other reefer haulers
1. Invest in a pocket camera of sort to use as evidence of actions, conversation, claims, etc.
2. Have an acct for court purposes. .05 cpm for example ( I think I'm on to something with this one)
Else, was the load sealed by the shipper? If it was I assume you HAVE to get paid. HIH -
Also maybe should have thought about keeping the load if there was claim and after you saw the initial damage claim...screwem

Ill buy a few melons haha. On a serious note i hate when they reject a load for little ####

Once in a while they reject sometime.
Fine. Your trailer just became a frozen warehouse on wheels looking for a whole sale buyer to take you and unload your stuff. The food is fine but the packaging rips, tears etc REJECT!!! wholesale it!!!!!
Now.
Meat? This one is OSD headache because they want the exact weight to the 10th of a pound plus barcode information on each meat item that is rejected so you don't go running down the dock and pocket a thousand dollars or something cash.25(2)+2 and Redbeard93 Thank this.
