    Hi, your comment worries me, I hauled a $4000 load for them 2 weeks ago across the country to Miami. Will keep you posted if I get paid or not.

    It looks like a few threads down they are accusing bayou of holding their freight and demanding more money.

    Come on guys....If you plan to go on your own-atleast do your homework before you book. Check their MC #- if its under a year, ask for 50% upon picking up the load by faxing them the bol and 50% when you reach the shipper but do not hit the docks. Freight comes off when you get paid. A good new start up brokerage will comply as they know they have to build up reputation.

    And as a general rule, if it sounds to good to be true.......

    Work for a collection agency, won't say which one, but I am 99.9% this is the same guy that had Union Pacific LLC MC#743793

    And he has had others before. Not only are his rates too good to be true for the carriers, they are too good to be true for the shippers.

    we did a load of hay for them out of Nebraska to Pa. found out they not only booked the load by 1150.00 more they gave the shipper a 10% discount if they paid them upon invoice reciept and with a wire direct to there account. Now where is the justice in a starving industry with people like this.
