    I agree, sounds like a different arrangement that brokered trucking. I've talked to lots of people who are on similar terms with big companies but not in trucking.

    So there's no bond to file against. You'd have to go after them in Civil court for your money.

    First, get with OTR factoring that is associated with DAT. They have REAL non-recourse factoring. You won't get charged back. Second contact AWA Deleted phone number and they will collect your past due receivables.

    Find out on the fmcsa website who holds the current bond for them.

    Note the bond number. Call claims department and ask for procedure.
    Most likely you will get an email address, where you need to send your claim.
    You send the same stuff you sent to your broker for invoicing + the broker carrier contract.
    You explain your problem and your claim briefly. Give it couple days and as soon as they actually get the wheels of the claim rolling, 9 out of 10 times you get your money the same day they notify the broker of the claim.
    Get ready for the broker (previously unresponsive) blowing off your phone begging you to withdrawal the claim as soon as possible.
