JB HUNT shady practice?

dont move untill you have extra p/up load money

 

Yep. I'd park right outside the 2nd reciever until we work something out. But I wouldn't let them load something on there in the first place

 

I bet my post will not be most popular here, but have your dispatch figure out the problem, or maybe it was noted on rate confirmation. Either way i would not loose half a day and good name, over stupid argument. It's not always fair, just finish the load and don't work with that rep again. There is at least one bad rep in any good company. Just don't loose your cool and stay positive. This is trucking business and no one ever said it will be easy and fair...

 

I am not defending the broker, I'm just saying what would I do. And of course, no one should haul anything for free. I get all my rate confirmations at the time of dispatch, so most of the time details and special instructions should be on the confirmation.

 

I've done this several times on loads that go from a stop at one distributor location to a second distributor of the same name. Simple inter-warehouse transfers.

Carpet One loads do this all the time. No big deal

 

Should have a corrected BOL for this "added" product and if not in the original load plan it needs to be added and the driver paid for the extra freight since it is like a new "load" from point b to c.

I had that happen delivering batteries to a store. They wanted to load me with used batteries which were not on my load plan. They refused to offload me till I agreed to allow them to load the used batteries. I sat there for about 3 hours in CT waiting till dispatch figured out what to do. My clock ran out and I went to a truck stop. They finally send me a new load plan and paid me extra for it.

 

Any way they can get away with free freight they will do it. Most drivers won't even check
