Got rate confirmation and the next morning shipper said it was wrong pick up number. Broker never answered the phone or returned my email. I asked the shipper to give me a letter of my proof of showing up here and they did.
45 days later broker refused to pay $150 TONU after sending in bill. Well I filed a small claims court petition to sue the broker for $1000. About a week the broker called to settle before first appearance on $400.
This was a large brokerage outfit. If the brokers won't pay, take them to court.
Broker refusing to pay solution.

Way to go 6wheeler!! If more MC's stood up to these brokers & sent a message, "we aren't going to take this anymore", hopefully it would happen far less often.
On another note I don't know who came up with the $150 tonu fee?, but it's nowhere near the actual loss incurred by myself usually when this happens..stwik, tscottme, NavigatorWife and 3 others Thank this. -

I make sure the broker send me a revise confirmation with my rate in case they cancel the load , before I move my truck .
For instance , if I’m in Phoenix and the load is in Yuma . My minimum rate is 300. If the broker refuses, then I don’t move my truck . Simple .NavigatorWife, Rideandrepair and 6wheeler Thank this. -
Sorry to sound like the newer ######## company driver that I am, but what does TONU stand for?

Court?
File on their bond first, that's what it is there for.
AND $400 is unacceptable, you should never accept what it would cost you in revenue for the day, $500 is minimal.
Just did this a couple weeks back, got a check today.Lepton1, kenn2632, NavigatorWife and 2 others Thank this.
