This dude just gave a bad review. This was the situation I booked a load from Holland Mi to Stoughton Wi that was supposed to be 'building products' that according to the broker required 4-6 ft tarps. When arrived at the shipper it turned out that the 'building products' were actually double stacked wire products with sharp edges all around. The bundles were palletized and staked very wobbly. Stacked they stood around 8 to 9 ft tall, 22 stacks in all that would've taken up the entire 48ft flatbed. So this load required 8 ft drop tarps. If I had known that 8 ft tarps or wire products were involved I would've not even bothered taking the load. I'm not climbing 9 ft up with 2 100 lb tarps and unstable base ...I'm not stupid. If I fall and break something the broker doesn't lose ..I do. Safety is unimportant to them. Now this dude said I cancelled the load even thought we both spoke to the shipper and decided this was not a safe load. He tried saying i was at the wrong address then agreed to pay the TONU but then turned around and started to say go back once I was 40 minutes down the road. Anyways I was going to go back but I got my bumper ripped off by a hotshot driver, he asked for a pic which I sent. Then he lied that i didn't send it. Then he lied and said i was 'extremely hostile' toward the shipper ...man the shipping manager was cool and so was the dude that was going to load me. Some brokers are pure scumbags ...

 

What really got to me is that he made it seem like I was a complete douche. He stated that I was extremely hostile with the shipping department. That's what pissed me off. I went in there spoke to the loader and the shipping coordinator about the load expressed my concerns. Now getting my bumper ripped off at the fuel station didn't help either
