suing a broker

You have nothing you can do. USDA report would have said damaged in transit or bad product.
Company should have asked for USDA and fought the claim.
Why do people want to haul produce without knowing how to protect themselves?

 

Agree. Always get a USDA inspection done and always get a reefer download. Company you drive for should have pushed back on the claim if the reefer download was clean. Sounds like you will need to go after the company you driver for, call around to different attorneys, somone should be able to help for a reasonable fee..

Truth be told, shippers, receivers, buyers, sellers, brokers, carriers all do shady things in this industry and it sucks. Id bet it was loaded hot or already bad product. Some shipper moved their bad product or some buyer somewhere got over on you.

I would demand your company provide a detailed explanation in writing : id ask for any USDA inspections done (border crossing, shipper or receiver), and also a salvage report. Every claim i've ever had, we salvage it and get some sort of return on the product to offset the loss. I am sure the customer salvaged the product.

 

A buddy of mine sued a local tractor dealer because he was sold a stolen tractor, and the dealership refused to refund his money.
He sued and won, yet, a year later he never received payment.
He went back to court, got a 12%interest charged by the court.
He then went and put a lien on every tractor the dealership had on its lot.
He was paid in 3 days..

 

My husband was driving with dry van befor this was his 2 trip with refrigerator. On side they one of the guys who was unloading said he inspected it and not to worry its not are fult he see it was loaded hot. To back us up we did a reefer download and thought this would be enough.

We received receipt that load was disposed. But I will ask for all other things you recommend. Thank you

 

hope you get it sorted out and get some of your money due.

 

Thank you.

 

This right here is one of the reasons I did not want to get into Reefers. I do not know near enough to know what is gonna kick me in the butt if something goes wrong.

 

hi can someone help me out I am having a issue with a broker. He violated our payment agreement terms. Terms were 1day quick pay 6% ach, 5 day quick pay 3% ach. The broker came and mailed me a check in the mail and deducted 6% off it. The day the load was completed I asked to do quick pay via 1 day instead of 5 day,( which is what I put in carrier packet when filling out) he emailed me the same day saying yes check will be mailed tomorrow. I emailed him right away telling him do not mail a check it’s not what we agreed on. He ignored my 4 emails and my phone calls. And responded the next day saying “unfortunately the check has been mailed out with today’s mail” I told him we did not agree to this I set up ACH he said we do not offer ACH. Meanwhile in the carrier packet link I signed up they’re offering ach and had me put all my information and agree to the terms this is a small broker company. I told him to cancel the check, because it’s not what we agreed on. He said I would have to pay a $50 cancellation fee. I am trying to take legal action against him. When I called him he said the check is in the mail good bye.
