Has anyone used pls logistics? Thoughts?

Let me re-answer. Booked a load out of KC no tarp. Scrap sheet steel. Got to the shipper and was sheet steel and 6 coils. Called broker and negotiated another $50 for chaining coils. Pulled out of lot loaded and went about 6 miles and broker called saying load needs tarped. I said $100 to tarp. No problem he says $100 for chaining and tarp. Uh $50+$100 equals $150 extra. OK he says pull over and tarp and send pics of tarp job. I say no I'm not gonna tarp on side of highway and will stop at nearest truckstop to tarp as soon as revised rate con comes in. FASTEST rate con to come in I have ever seen. BUT pay attention to ALL details with PLS.

 

Yeah you have to leverage most of these brokers or they will have you jumping thru all kinds of hoops for free.

 

Sounds like another TQL in the making.

 

Hello Please give me home office contact. We have same issue. After hours didn't answer and there was lumper charges and no one answered it. Driver paid cash for lumper and they making excuses to reimburse lumper to us. Plus they said it was prepaid so I asked to give us proof of payment if it is prepaid so that I can get my money back from receiver. Please help is and provide us contact. thanks

 

Always get a receipt with the lumper co. name, name of lumper(s) and their ss numbers (that's what the brokers ask for, anyway). I'd never give mine out. You have to cover yourself every which way you can with these brokers. You're outta luck trying to get anyone in the JAX office during working hours, let alone after hours. Don't send them a copy of the BOL until you get an updated rate con with the detention or lumper fee reimbursement on it. Otherwise, you're screwed and it doesn't matter what anyone promises you on the phone - it only counts legally if it's in black & white on a rate con.

 

Way to go, man!

 

I hauled for them one time and never again. Long story short I followed their instructions for quick pay. They indicated their quick pay takes 5 - 10 business days (which in itself is a problem). Two weeks after my submission I had not received payment and called. They stated the initial "set up" takes 15 days. My response, of course, was that it kind of defeats the purpose of quick pay. As of my typing I have still not received payment and it's 3 weeks after delivery. Normally I wouldn't care about quick pay, but in today's market with fuel prices and lowball rates it matters. Don't haul for them is my advice.

 

PLS is the bottom of the barrel IMO. TQL has nothing on these dirt bags. One look at their rate confirmations tells all a carrier needs to know. Endless fees, poor communication and worse credit

 

I used to haul loads for them and I can't remember exactly what the issue was, but they had some kind of crazy way they did their payment.

There was some kind of super special process for detention or something it wasn't just you send it to the broker there was special email address and some other kind of procedure and if you didn't do it that way you wouldn't get paid I don't know there were a lot of crazy little fine print tricks you had to know what to do to get paid that they really did not tell you at all.
