    The broker aint answering calls from my company, and the company is hesitant about paying this themselves. So it looks like I am stuck at this place for a while till something gets resolved. Which is probably tomorrow.

    Convenience fee of $25?! What the hell is so convenient about it?! And they charged $200 for less than 3 day notice of appointment. Good lord does this place want their #### or not?

    So, are they refusing to let you leave the property or just refusing to give you back the signed BOL until they are paid? If they are coercing you, there could be legal ramifications for the lumping service and/or receiver.

    They gave me the green light and released my trailer so I was free to leave, it was my dispatcher that said to stay there till morning so they could get things settled with the broker and the receiver. Strange thing happened though, after parking in their lot where the portajon is atm I suddenly get an electronic receipt marked as paid in full for the lumper. My dispatcher had no idea who paid it, maybe the broker responded to a message after all. I got my pod and was free to leave.

    Well that is great news! I am glad someone got busy and got it paid for you so you didn't have to stay there. Unless you are staying there anyway for a break or something.

    From the pic you posted it looks to have been prepaid.
    PPD= prepaid
    S&S= sort and segregate
    maybe whoever handed it to you was confused.

    KeHe is a POS company thats why.

    Its one place I will never EVER take a load to or from again.

    They make lineage look good, that's how bad KeHe is, their personal fleet of trucks ain't any better either.

    Heck, they make capstone look like professionals.

    Is that an average rate for a lumper nowadays?

    and I thought Capstone were crooks.

    If you have clean BOL's and a green light I would get the F off their property ASAP.
