    Something similar, they believe you are an easy target. I fought all the way & didn't take a loss. From here on out inspect trailers before & after. It can be very hard & tricky because as I stated in my case if they damaged the trailer while loading how will I know until it was unloaded. A lot different scenarios come into play. One thing is for sure I didn't load the trailer so therefore I'm not paying for it.

    Did they file a claim against your insurance. What did your insurance company say?

    Broker filed claim, my insurance says it’s my fault that shipper or receiver damaged inside walls of trailer.
    Broker is ARL, insurance is Lancer.
