What to do if you got double Brokered?

About 2 years ago pulled load of citrus out of fl. Going to Walmart Henderson nc.talked to buddy that had dealt with broker at third pick,tells me broker owes him for last load.get loaded ask broker what's up with not paying? He get upset to put it mildy,so I tell him I will need full payment via comcheck before del. we go round & round for two days. He finally figures out I won't back down

 

No what you explained is just brokering. Double brokering is where a broker gets a load.. Sells it to another broker then has you haul it. Every broker, or trucking company that brokers loads has to have a brokers license, and now a 75,000 bond. And you need to get hold of this broker for? Payment? If they are giving you trouble collecting. Contact the shipper and bill them.. You will get a phone call from this broker.. Go to FMSCA csa company snap shot. Put in there DOT or MC number or try the name. That will tell you everything about the authority . Bonding etc. if none drop a dime on them to the DOT.

 

you tell them that trucking company ABC brokered a load from you the shipper and they have failed to compensate me..and you want to collect on the haul that was finished by me.

 

Double brokering is a thing of the past. The new laws that just went into effect now it is illegal. If the second company can't handle the load.. The have to refuse it. You can ask for the copy of the bill from the trucking company that bills the. Shipper.

 

I'm sure you can show this mythical law to everyone.

 

Do I have to hold your hand and show you? It's part of the new law for brokerage... Including the increase in the bond.

 

There is no such law. Maybe some reading is required instead of truckstop counter talk.http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/about/what-we-do/MAP-21/Map21.aspx

Only part pertaining to brokers/freight fowarders http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-05/pdf/2013-21539.pdf

May be tough but it is what it is.

 

so where is the law? That's just a web page for DOT. Or is that all one wants to read?

 

Second address is a pdf file that covers all the new regs for brokers/freight fowarders/interlining.

 

You are wasting your time on this guy. He's just mad at everyone and everything. His wife probably ran off with a broker.
