Landstar looking for reasons to not pay

I have never had any issue with Landstar paying me, as long as paperwork is submitted properly.
But I never ran into this. I have the BOL signed and dated but no where specific on the BOL.
Using quickpay, the money is funded within 48hrs of Landstar's receipt of my bill.

In fact, they are one of the more reliable companies that pay me....

 

I did'nt think it mattered on the BOL where the customer signs it as long as it's sign. could be an excuse for not paying you,who knows.From now on make sure its on the consignor line and readable.If not have him sign it again.Knowing landstar the next excuse will be they can't make out the name.Having him print his name as well would'nt hurt either.

 

It happens. You will look at them more closely now before you take off, right? LOL

I had that happen at a Walmart DC just last week. They put their receiving stamp on but did not check received in full or sign it. All I had to do was return to the window and ask. Receiver came right up and filled it out. She just forgot.

 

easy, make an x on the bill, draw a straight line away from the x, write received by underneath and have em sign. pretty much gets it taken care of

 

I write on all my bol/pods Received date and a big X then have receiver sign and print that way theres no mistaking it.
I also use a heavy flow black pen anything else may not show on a fax esspecially carbonated paper.
Several of the big ones are funny about pod's

 

One thing you can do is get one of those self inking rubber stamps made at a copy / graphics shop that has all the information on it:

RECEIVED BY:
SIGNATURE:
DATE:
DOCK:
PO NUMBER:

Or any other pertinent info you can think of - then when it is some kind of barely legible 3rd sheet of a carbon copy that you know the shipper / broker is is going to have an issue with then hopefully all the info is one spot in writing. Like McGoo said a good heavy flow black pen works great.

 

Hey, how have you been doing? I was keeping up your posts last year about struggles with the truck. I guess your "rollin". You have pics of your rig and trailer?
Landstar keeping you busy?
