    For the love of God do not let them sucker you into their shenanigans like they did me. Reading the reviews of all the drivers that they screwed will send you running for the hills. I also wanted to mention that i use DAT but their system was down on the day when i booked the load so i used truckerpath to book from this broker. All the time i have used DAT i have never seen any loads posted by them which led me to speculate that even DAT knows that they need to be avoided but what do i know I’m an idiot who failed to read the obvious fine print. If one thing though let my loss be your gain/ lesson and never even entertain booking a load with them.

    what are the blow back from hooking up to your trailer and giving them 10 minutes to get there #### out your leaving.
    A walking floor trailer would be the #### in this situation
    does not being payed for the load better than not having a trailer and having to go back and get it

    there has to be a way to fake paper work or book another load to get inside the gate as soon as you have your trailer you can cancel the other load due to brake down.

    The stars have to align for a broker to exactly send you the receiver that is holding your trailer and plus I don’t want to stoop down to their level.

    This is a live and learn business. You're not an idiot.

    You found your way into a booby trap ia all.

    It won't be the last time either.

    Now some of our esteemed members never have things like this happen. Or if they do, they end up owning the brokerage and the DC, at least according to them.

    I tend to beat myself up pretty good too when I make a mistake. Doesn't do much good though.

    It's this business. The one thing I promise everyone is they'll get it shoved up their ### from time to time through no fault of their own.

    Just move forward. Live and learn. Everyone has to build their own little data base.
     
    TallJoe, Siinman and 86scotty Thank this.

    Well, if you want the cops involved that's one way.... May not be a way you like though.
    And if it's in the contract, he has no one to blame but himself. Get a short term trailer lease and get moving.
