<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tequesia2, post: 12369208, member: 243619&quot;]Shipper may not have had the room and receiver may have had multiple shipments meaning neither can will take it. You want to punish the broker for the truck not doing what it is contracted to do, right? Would it not be REASONABLE to keep your equipment in good working order? Would it be reasonable to require the truck to pay for the storage if they want it off their truck? Isi it not reasonable, if the carrier did take it back to the shipper, for the broker to make a freight guard report so next time a broker has a lane like this they can see the carrier&#039;s equipment has a history of breaking down and avoiding this headache on both sides? </p><p>I agree it is a crappy situation for the carrier to be in, but it is the carrier&#039;s problem they took possession of the load and agreed to pick it up AND deliver it. Seems to me the BEST course if action for the carrier is to drop the trailer at their secure yard (or rent a space in one) and do Power only for a month. It also seems to me most of y&#039;all want accountability for brokers but not for yourselves. But if I am mistake in any of this, please EXPLAIN THE LOGIC ON WHY IT IS THE BROKER&#039;S FAULT THE CARRIER&#039;S TRUCK BROKE DOWN. Because all I have seen is, &quot;my truck wasn&#039;t maintained correctly so it broke down and now I don&#039;t want the consequences of taking the load back (getting it reported to FG) nor holding said load until the receiver can take it (next appt).&quot; I am ready to admit I am wrong, but I don&#039;t see y&#039;all&#039;s logic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
