    this is a slimmy company, talked me into going out to winch loaded truck and trailer out on a sunday night, when i asked for credit card they said there money man was out till morning and they would take care of things in the morning. i got to quit trusting people but most trucking company are good. you get the odd dirt bag bunch that gives trucking a bad wrap. have phone them till they don't answer there phone now with now luck on payment

    Why would you do it without a cc, unless you dealt with them before?

    No cc up front? No need to further the call. You probably just learned the lesson the expensive way. A good customer shouldn't have a problem with this practice considering how many shysters there are in the trucking industry.
     
    Jazz1 and upnorthwpg Thank this.

    ya i know i'am a ####### , but when its 35 below and if the truck is got a lien to it. all the fuel goes to one side and then the truck quits. i guess i worry more about these drivers then these micky mouse companys do of there employees. gonna start dragging these trucks to my yard and put the driver in a hotel

    If it's -35 And they need your help
    They will fork over a cc number
    If not. Tell them to call someone else.
    Or tell the driver to call the cops for a ride to a warm hotel. Or light the truck on fire.

    I wonder how many calls company made before they found a “victim”
    I would not trust any company as they are all going to go out of their way to screw a trusting soul

    I can second the fact that main line transport is flakey as fak. I didn’t get screwed over like you but I had lost a bit of overtime and wasted my evening because of these losers. They were hounding me all day about picking up some tires I had for sale. I made arrangements to meet their driver. I left work early to meet the guy, then he quit answering the phone. His number is 204-979-2342. Kept using different names in emails from Fred to manny. I’m going to go far out of my way to make sure this company loses some money and time of their own.
    They were in Edmonton last night sounded like they were going back to Manitoba.

    #### I would put a crumpy lil camper in your yard with a heater and then you can give the truck back when the "money man" pays the bill... Disclaimer not an endorsement of unlawful confinement or ransom lol
