Broker and Promises.

Another day and another broker trying to #### me over. I booked a load on 10/4/2016 and delivered it on 10/7/2016 in Laredo to a forwarding company, the trailer was going to Mexico. It was Friday and the was suppose to be brought back the same day, which did not happen.On Monday I emailed him saying its 500 dollars a day, which I did not get a reply to. Called him and his manager I was assured they will take care of it.Trailer sat at the forwarding untill Thursday.The driver received the trailer on 10/19/2016. So total of 12 days. Spoke with him today, They cant pay me the 6k. The driver is an O/O and he is pissed.This is what he emailed.
I spoke with my rep and she said that the $500/day is just way more than she normally pays for detention on trailers. She does loads into Mexico all the time and most carriers charge $50-75 per day for dry vans with typically 2-5 free days for the border crossing and delivery. We appreciate that you guys were patient and she is willing to work with you and get you something for waiting to get your trailer returned. She said the max she can pay is $100 per day for a total for $1100. I wish there was more I could do on my end but my hands are tied as it is her call.
!!!!!! Can anyone suggest what to do!!!!!

 

This is not the first time. I did a load, couple months back for TQL PA-TX. I charged them same. Without any contracts after 3 weeks I got the full amount. Cant I open a claim on their bond.

 

No the first time , TQl paid the rate I told them, without any problem, even thought, they are what they are.
