    Got loaded with some machinery on yesterday in TN towards Pittsburgh area . Old factory been liquidated and 30ft oven been placed on my conestoga (12k weight , riggers were so unprofessional... Just a joke ) , monday delivery , grabbed partial in Chicagoland to fill extra space . Asked dispatch to confirm timing for monday unloading (loading was 4 hours) and make sure they have proper equipment to unload . Broker called , apologized and said customer not gonna have riggers on monday ... more likely Wednesday or later , not even sure when . I offered to call heavy wreckers and offload me monday on their site , broker promised to call back . Nothing as of 6pm
    ... I guess i will be offloading it in the local warehouse with all the fees and charges ... Emailed broker my intentions

    I’m confused. You were in TN and went to Chicago to fill your empty space. Now you are going to Pittsburgh?

    ok that definitely makes sense, if it was paying right. Don’t blame you there.

    Hi side rewind and a good brake check might be in the cards for Monday morning. lol
    It’s a pretty ####ty situation I had a rgn tied up for a couple weeks once over a dead loader. Sadly you probably won’t get proper compensation for it either. Good luck
     
    CAXPT Thanks this.

    Let’s see. Rigger unload probably a couple hundred to a $1000. Just to make it easy on the broker tell them your layover fee is a $1000 a day. They should learn how to count than.
