Brokers mistake

Hey ya'll , I'm an owner op, I've been doing flatbed for the last 10 yrs. I recently had a breakdown that put me behind for a day and a half. I kept in contact with my receiver, made arrangements for a new delivery the following morning, they were completely cool. An hour later the broker, without my knowledge called the receiver, told them to go home, and that we'd keep the load on the trailer until after Christmas then unload it. Two problems, Christmas is 10 days away, and it's my trailer. I've never had this happen, they say their trying to find a solution, but that was 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

 

Oh no the broker was in the loop the whole time, it was a middle manager who took it upon himself to call. We all need to stop making excuses for brokers, this isn't my first rodeo I know how the game is played, I dont believe I started that the receiver was my customer, I may be mistaken. If the broker gives me the receivers contact info to schedule my appointment, well that's what I do.

 

Well they went home, which is on the other side of the country. I've found a solution, I've gotta forklift coming tomorrow to unload me, the brokers supposedly paying for it, I'm charging Robinson $450 a day for storage if they dont pay I have a few tricks I've learned, to make them pay.

 

No s%$#, but it's my trailer, believe me I thought about unchaining and making a hard right turn in front of there office, but well you know.
