Wait, so the rate con said "must fax BOL when delivered" - you waited a few days for them to have to call you to get you to send over the BOL - the POD you sent over did not include the BOL - and your first reaction is "Broker is being sleezy and dishonest"?
I personally don't think it is right for a broker to charge a fee to their carrier unless the Client is charging the broker AND the broker told the carrier up front that there was a possibility of fees if certain criteria aren't met. i.e. Load delivers late, unless it was the carrier's fault AND the customer is charging a fee AND the carrier was notified in writing that there can be late fees if the load delivers late it is a terrible idea to charge a carrier. Personally, I will do everything I can to get out of a late fee for a carrier. Its the same thought process with charging TONUs to Clients when they cancel a load. Believe it or not guys, brokers eat that more than they don't because Charging a client a TONU is a great way to lose a Client. BUT, to get back to the point, you didn't do what was agreed to (a few days, while technically is after delivery, is not a reasonable interpretation of that note) and instead of calling the broker and discussing it you come to the internet and put them on blast and file a report in truckstop. Come on man, you can't possibly think that this is actually the broker's fault or unfair. Like I don't get your logic.
In my experience, the carriers that communicate and can keep their cool - especially something is going wrong - are the ones that I can help out the most. We can work a problem together and find a solution if we know about the problem; but the carriers/drivers that won't reach out to me to tell me something is wrong (blown tire, heavy traffic, fee, issue at shipper/receiver, etc) are the ones that get surprised and aggressive when there are repercussions that can't be fixed.
getting 100 $ deducted because bol wasn't sent at the time when broker asked ?

I have moved a couple of really good paying loads for XPO logistics in the last 2 weeks. The broker requested a copy of the BOL immediately after delivery. He says the shipper requires it. He gave me his cell number, snapped a pic and text it to him before I pulled off the dock. Easy Peasy!!

Horse Manure!
The fist thing that should have happened was a firm remainder. Only if ignored, punitive measures could proceed. Unless the story was written to picture the OP as a pure victim, before taking $100, they should have called and said "Don't forget to fax BOL"
....Like I care whether they charged him or not...LOL
I must be bored to type this here, anyways. -

Because he did not, it seems that he just wanted $100.
A driver is not always able to send Pod right after delivery. -

Use your imagination.
Even Uber or Convoy don't need bills right away.
Let alone charging $100.
How about sending Bills within next few hours?
