Help! Broker doesnt want to pay load

Find out if the shipper or receiver hired the broker ( most likely the shipper but you never know ) and call them - ask if they hired Joe Blow broker, etc...and explain the situation. Ask if they can send over a signed BOL for the load and then send that to the broker. If that doesnt work then PM me and I will get a good resource for you to close out this situation.

 

Sounds like you have a real problem . No sign BOL ? A packing list might not cut it if you delivered to a large CO.This could take a long time to get paid IF you get paid . You should have your own BOL with the one the shipper gives you and get both sign and printed name on it

 

Packing list should serve fine as a BOL man. Dont think most people get it but a BOL can be a handwritten piece of paper with "what's on the truck". I know ive done it at a moving company and twice hauling a dry van. Sounds to me like the broker is ripping you off. Why would he not want you to call the shipper after all...

 

Total BS he is trying to keep your money, POD is just what you have the customer can call the receiver and ask if X________ works there yes did you get the shipment yes. The broker will get paid for that load I'll put money on it

Call the shipper yourself don't really say what's going on until you find out if they received POD if they say yes ask for a copy when they fax that to you it's time to get on the phone with the broker. After 45 days if it makes it that far file on there bond. I even send a bill to the shipper at this time most the time I'll get a call saying WE HAVE PAID THIS and get that proof it's been paid.

 

Yes you are right and that is what i am saying about his own BOL is easy to get and hand written . The problem with a packing list it might not have where it came from or going might b limited to the contents of load

 

Id be calling, dont care if he wants me not to call....my $ is on the line.....

 

When it comes down to it you are the office guy for a guy who kills himself and risks his life to bring in the money. this office weasel is trying to rip that guy off, the guy who keeps you living in a house with food and sleeping in your own bed every night, for a few thousand dollars. Because he's a scumbag. You can step up be a man and fight (that's your job) or let the guy who depends on you as his lifeline get #######. Up to you

 

Btw any lawsuit would be Federal. Federal jury awards last i heard were mandated 3x damages (in order to keep people from doing the crap in the first place)..
