    We covered our butts when this all started. We called the company that dispatched him and told them what was going on - they picked up their leased trailer within a few days. We also went down to our local police department and gave them a heads-up just in case. He'd be hard pressed to find anyone in our little town to believe anything he says. There's something to be said for living in a small community for 24 years :)

    Yes. He owns the trucks but all of the numbers and plates belong to the dispatch company. The trailer he used also belonged to that company. They cut ties with him completely and he still owes then money for advances and the recent abandoned loads. Hubby found out today that he just got his own authority in Texas.

    this guy was prob not smart enough to start his business as LLC. in that case you should get down and file a lien agianst his house or trucks. if he isn't an LLC you can file agianst him personally and go after his personal property. if he has auth in TX it's a pretty safe bet he will be on the move soon. move fast, don't wait for him to offer a solution, he prob isn't going to.
