We hauled a car from Manheim Hobby Houston, TX to Chantilly Auto Sales. truck broke down and was a few days late for delivery, customer was advised of delay. Customer requested we deliver over weekend, though office was closed. Told our driver he would mail payment to our office. In good faith, and because we were late, we agreed to deliver car. Car delivered 5/ 29/ 2018. No payment sent. Called Atiq Hafiz for Payment Monday, and he said he would not pay us. Spoke with him again on Wednesday and he stated that since we were late for delivery he would not pay us for this transport. No where on his dispatch did it have a penalty for late delivery. Truckers beware!
Warning for car haulers servicing Chantilly, Va.

Oldironfan, Ziggy319, TXDoll and 1 other person Thank this.

Are you based out of TX? If so, you can, and should file suit against him and his business in small claims for the delivery charge, court costs, pain and suffering ( min. Equal to the delivery charge). It’s not that expensive to do and you don’t need an attorney. And he will be of more a mind to pay u cause he probably won’t want to come to Tx to have his butt handed to him for the suits value.
If he doesn’t pay and doesn’t reapond you will be able to get a summary judgment against his business and him. -

You left a blank check with dropping it with no signature. I don't think you will have too much luck in getting paid.

Contact the bond company. You will get paid, I was recently in a situation where a company told me for 30 days "the check is in the mail". The bond company gave the broker 24 hrs to respond, then issued payment. This resulted in them canceling the bond coverage for the brokerage that failed to pay. During the additional few days it took to receive payment we were told they had also failed to pay several other transporters. Without the bond they cannot continue to broker shipments.
