What a waste of time. This is why I hardly work with any new people and just stick with the handful of brokers I use.

Wow.... I was just looking up a way to put a review on this same company (North Eastern Freight Inc). They just played us..... We booked a load with them this morning that was to be picked up at 7:00 am and delivered at 10:00. Driver is actually still on the way to deliver. So I woke drive up to go get this load. he gets there at 6:49 and the load is not ready and was scheduled to be ready at 10:00. So I immediatly inform them what is going on and ask for detention compensation. They said they would send rate con once we had loaded and sent the bol of check out time. Driver could not stay in lot and had to wait outside and check in right before 10:00 and checked out at 1:22 pm. Now they are stating that they have to go by that 9:48 check in and will only give us $50 for a 6hr delay...... We just actived our authority last month which forces us to work with new broker sometimes. This is just awful.....

A fist clenches and a knife opens in your pocket (just and an expression) when you hear stories like that.
I cancelled loads more than once after agreeing to the rate and then "learning" stuff in the broker-carrier agreement, not to mention after learning things when arriving at pick up sites such as "work ins", a different commodity type (e.g. trash instead of finished goods) or simply bailing out after too many hours of wait to the point of compromising the delivery window and causing potential undesirable repercussions at the receiver and no specific contingencies from a broker. "We will figure out something" is not good enough.
I would cancel any time after something changes from the description in the rate confirmation that would make me too uncomfortable. You have to be selfish, self centered and care about what is good for you, but still staying within constraints of contractual obligations.
To all the new authorities here, to hell with freightgaurds or 411s or whatever there is.
Do whatever is good for you, don't appease those freight Hitlers.
You'd have to really make it to CNN news with your misdeeds that literally nobody would do business with you. Besides, If they threaten you to smear you in the social media or some freight guard, threaten them with libel law suit too.
I am not advocating any wrongdoing or low ethical behavior but any deceptive tactics on the part of the contract partner reserves you the right to terminate the agreement.
If a broker agreement or rate con has not been signed because of some revelations discovered in it you can always tell them to stick it you know where, even after you initially agreed to the rate.Flat Earth Trucker, BennysPennys, pumpkinishere and 2 others Thank this. -
