You post shipments. Call the driver maybe 3, or 4 times between pick up and delivery to make sure the truck is ok.
And then at either or both shipper and receivers when the truck arrives no one is able to load or unload the truck.
And it's not a mishap, it's that they didn't know the truck was coming, or if the shipment is ready.
Why can't brokers call both shippers and receivers to make sure someone knows to load or unload a truck? And your reply is "after 2 hours of waiting we will pay after that?" Bullcrap
Explain this brokers, no one available to load/unload.

Some people don't do their jobs?
Explain to me how drivers and dispatchers can tell me that they'll make it by X hit time, and then that hit time rolls around, they're nowhere to be seen - and when you call them they're still several hours out, forcing you to push the load to the next day, getting you into hot water with your customer?
It's part and parcel to this industry. Some folks do what they're supposed to do and what they're telling you will happen, and some don't. People lie, and some folks just don't give a crap. It happens at all levels and with all kinds of operations.bfreightmovin, truckfam, Arkansas and 5 others Thank this. -

With the internet finding a phone number isn't too bad. It's also useful for finding out about problem shippers and receivers. Google reviews, use it. I've given back loads based off it. The last one was a fun refrigerated shipper and receiver down in Union City, GA. I dunno how that place manages to get live load trucks coming in there but there's a long slow moving line of them into it every day. Even drop and hook drivers complain. And not a single solitary decent review on Google either.

But anyway, the place I am at doesn't even have a forklift here to unload the truck. And guess what, I have to waste 2 good hours of my time FOR FREE before getting a dime.singlescrewshaker and Mattflat362 Thank this. -
