Landstar looking for reasons to not pay

it is rough out here
I will gladly share your meat and crackers instead of the iron skillet next time I see you

 

Ask Ranger Bob about the $2,000 bucs he is still waiting for and may never see....I think it's been 5 months and still NO PAY...

 

One of our trucks had an issue with the paperwork not saying bol on it, even though it was signed,not sure what the outcome was

 

Reading the thread I find it hard to understand how 1 unpaid shipment can cripple a person's cash flow and ability to operate. I too have noticed that a higher and higher percentage of LS loads are double brokered and cheaper than anyone else offering the same load. I haven't pulled a LS load in over 6 months. Thanks to all for clarifying what LS requires for payment. I guess I've been lucky up until now.

 

Biggest problems i've had with landstar is agents not closing out loads so I could get paid and
the worst offender is the loads double brokered and the agent rushes to get his money not getting all needed information.
Like the real size, weight and if ity needs to dock height trailer. Then they don't want to pay a tomu and it's their fault.
Whenever there was a paperwork problem the office people would call me and it would be fixed quickly except once.

 

They were making so much money they dont need to get paid

 

And I'm not trying to be either. Over a million loads get moved a year, and that's not intermodal or air freight, ocean, warehousing or anything else our agents handle. There's only so many people working at JAX, and if they took the time to call every single driver about everything they wouldn't be able to get anything else accomplished. THAT said, I'm not saying you weren't entitled to a phone call and perhaps someone dropped the ball. You do have to understand though that those people are extremely busy and have to make sure everything is right. Perhaps they did make an attempt to call and it didn't go through or whatever. I can't tell you the myriad of possibilities. I'm just saying, don't get your panties in a bunch and try instead to work it out with them and make suggestions to the customer service department.

Yeah... I don't think that was the case. I'm genuinely concerned about them. You'd think when the checks didn't come in, we'd be hearing from them like 6wheeler.

 

I have had a couple instances that JAX couldnt read the scaned BOL and they have always called me to resend it, I pay more attention to scan quality now so as not to have that issue .
