Find a " BLUE BOOK " and find out the reputation of shipper. receiver, and broker. If they are reputable, odds are you will be paid. The problems noted on your BOL are usually related to a shipper problem. Also, if you check, I would bet the market price of onions was going down.

Welcome to the Produce World, it ain't easy sometimes.

I have a reefer and decay is a common problem. Mold tells me, they were like that when loaded. Pictures always help before you leave the shipper.
