    I'm new O/O loaded in VA to FL get to receiver 4hrs early load rejected because of fly infestation, trailer was clean to pick up load and inspect by shipper Guard and dock loader before loading. I'm waiting 6 DAYS not 6hrs for broker to decide what to do with this load all this time through call and email they are saying they waiting for customer to get back at them at this time not sure what my options are or what to do any ideas anyone ever been through this.

    Well, you’ve been held hostage, should call the broker and charge 500-600/day or you’re going to store it or take it back.
    Tell them you’ll file against their bond if they don’t pay you.

    Shouldn’t, except you know not to deal with them again..
    I’d be on the phone now, and even looking up the number of the “customer” of the place I picked it up, and be on the phone to see if they’ll take it back.

    The trouble with that is who do you call at uber? They're automated which works great when everything goes smoothly but #### happens and then you can't get anyone on the phone.

    Edited - just saw Judge's reply to call the customer. Yeah for sure if a broker isn't going to do their job time to start talking to the customers direct.

    You know PTLLC, your truck lost six days of revenue, if this happened to me I would not sit on a load for more than a day and if the broker pulled this crap, back to the shipper it would go.

    you should consider contacting the shipper, someone in the front office and tell them that you are being this loadnback for their disposal, then inform the broker, be ready to take a loss or file against their bond.
