Im a new flatbed owner op. I delivered a load to a worksite and was offloaded by a contractor company on the site. The ordering company now claims the freight was never delivered and the guy who signed my bills dont work for them nor the contracting company. The broker said they are threatening to file a claim. Never had a claim before so how is this handled and what is my next step?

Sounds like a scam. What did they use to offload you with? Is the site controller by a security company? If so ask the site manager for the name of the security company. Then call the security company and get the log in log out information for that day.

You need to find the freight. Contact some people it might even be worth going back there to prevent a damaged insurance record that will take years to removeBadmon Thanks this. -

Seems unlikely thieves were impersonating whoever was suppose to unload him. Did they have the real lumpers tied up in back?

How did they unload the products?
by hand? -

Contact your insurance agent. He/ she can give you some advice.
The signed delivery receipt shows it was on site.
The phone numbers you have (a record of) called to verify delivery address, should further verify delivery.
Call the police and file a theft charge if customer claims they don't have it.
Bring as much heat as you can.
Good luck.jamespmack and Farmtractor9900 Thank this.
