Took over a load for another carrier, now he refuses to pay.

I got a phone call from another carrier who had a small enclosed trailer needing moved. When I arrived to pick it up it was more than twice the size described. He quickly agreed to the additional charges. Since I was not delivering to him I was not able to collect on delivery. He was going to mail a check. However he has now made it obvious he is not planning on paying at all. What's my best course of action?

 

Yes, it was a concern so I called him right away. He did a great acting job I suppose when he explained he had no idea and promised to pay the additional charges which we agreed on right then. Once I delivered it, he said he was putting the check in the mail and still did not sound fishy. Now he won't answer calls, respond to emails, or letters. I have sent him a bill, then a past due bill after 30 days and still not a word out of him. Been a total of about 2 months now. It's not enough to break me or anything, just a matter of principle. I work my butt off to go above and beyond and I was MORE than fair in my additional charges. Infact, the receiver gave me a tip on delivery and I even took that off what I billed this guy. Bad news is he is not a broker and only has carrier DOT and MC

 

I do have the VIN.

Also, to answer everyone else, his name is... (I do not condone anyone harassing him, if you do, that has nothing to do with me. I only shared this info to help others to not get ripped off too.)
