Checking in as a different carrier?

I did that one on a brokered load of lumber. I think it was a blind load, broker didn't want the shipper knowing that it was being brokered off

 

Yeah that squicks me right out as well. At that point you're not sure if he's real or not. The next words out of his mouth need to be 'the big carrier is the customer'. That's the only answer I'd take. Every other one is super super super shady.

 

I don't think l would do it for an unknown broker. We used to do it for another trucking company. They would sell us loads and it was a whole big deal to get registered at the customer. So it was easier to sign under his name. Almost like trip leasing back in the day.

 

Yeah as soon as I know the brokerage is a real shop and I'm talking to a person whose legit my hackles go way down. If there is anything shady going on beyond that point it really has nothing to do with the carrier.

 

The CK can go to carrier thats printed on B O L but what part of the $ will be sent to your co is the deal?

 

If I can’t say I’m picking up on BEHALF of xx i wouldn’t do it either

 

Yeah, I'm with @boredsocial here. This sounds way too shady to make it worth the money, @TallJoe. Fairly sure you made the right call here - you have to wonder if you'd actually get paid the rate you would want. The whole thing just feels way wrong.

 

I never had a problem checking in as xx carrier.
