Broker Detention Scam

It's a bogus claim by the broker. Do you mind naming the broker and MC# so everyone can avoid them for not paying detention? What was the hourly rate? Divide that by 60 and that's what you are owed. I know everyone hates TQL but there is an account run by a certain broker there on a lane I run and that's how detention is paid.

Of course it takes forever to get approved but as long as it is documented they do eventually approve it. I hate jack ##### that screw me over on time and detention that I'm due. I won't work with them. Brokers like this need to have the screws tightened against them. With EOBR unpaid delay time is just not acceptable. It never really was before but these kind of brokers and customers need to be called out so their freight sits.

 

Two weeks ago I came to Majers DC in NEWPORT, MI. I was on time for my appointment at 6 am. And it took them 11 h 40 min to unload me as they were counting every f*****g ps in every box. 4 times I went to speak to their manager with no result. I let CH ROBINSON known before 8am that my detention starts soon -"It's OK. Just put you IN and Out time and we'll pay you. Don't warry."
I left that Majer at 6 pm. Spent 2 days for that load. Missed my next PU. All that for $700 gross.
Sybmitted the bills to CH ROBINSON at Chicago next morning after delivery. The status was "WFP- waiting for paperwork". Hmmmm.
Three days later they said the image of the BoL is all glourry so I EMAILED them the same file, they accepted it and said "All clear and good, this load is prossessed for payment." I asked where is my Detention Pay????
- Oh, we can't give you that coz you submited you paperwork Late. You should submit it to us within one day after delivery." I Did. - No, sorry. We can't halp you with that.
Yep. That is CH ROBINSON

 

This is why I advocate having your OWN RUBBER STAMP with IN/OUT time, and CLEARLY writing on the BOL.

I would also have challenged their initial rejection of THE SAME BOL as evidence that it was acceptable the second time. Which means maybe the first employee has bad eye sight.

Dont just roll over

 

Coyote got me this summer. Broken forklift. Sent over in and out times got paid $0.00

 

I remember sitting there on the Thanksgiving day from 8am till 3pm, watching them break every single box and put each ketchup bottle on a conveyor. It just blew my mind that they do it while the truck is still in dock.
That was my first and last time I went there. What a horrible place

 

Totally agree with you. They should unload and release the truck before sorting and restocking their items.
I even made a video of thay guy unloading my trailer - constantly checking and typing something on his phone, chatting to his coworkers.... Basically stilling money from Majers by not working. You could definitely tell that he is on-a-clock - working hard for 11:40 hours to unload 1 trailer.
I'll try to upload this video on Youtube.

 

Say it's so waiting on one my self from them also don't pull FEMA loads that power and light have, we are waiting for our detention pay from them an loads from NC to Jacksonville FL
