<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tequesia2, post: 12370018, member: 243619&quot;]-don&#039;t name call. I haven&#039;t called anyone names.</p><p>-Yes, new equipment can break down. BUT that is a big assumption you are making. New equipment doesn&#039;t break down 99.9% of the time. And that is the risk you take owning your own truck. When it breaks down, the consequences are yours and yours alone. I have been very clear that to me it sounds like bad luck. BUT, that&#039;s Capitalism, baby!</p><p>-You admit its not the broker&#039;s fault, why do so many think they should pay to fix the problem?</p><p>-seems to me the broker offered 2 solutions: take it back and get a freight guard report or hold it a month and redeliver at DG&#039;s next appt window.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I get that I am the big bad boogie man because I am a broker ([USER=164590]@DUNE-T[/USER] ) but this is the FREIGHT BROKER FORUM space so I don&#039;t know what to tell you. </p><p>Since I am the villain, let me add my 2 cents: it is the carrier&#039;s fault. If this is my load I would give you options. 1)take it back to the shipper, get a FG that notes what happened so other will know your equipment (new or not) is unreliable. We&#039;re people too and can figure out thing for ourselves, i. e. he only has 1 FG on a load his truck broke down - Prolly a one off thing. Or they have 3 FG about a broken down truck, I know that equipment isn&#039;t reliable for what ever reason. That is a solution. 2) hold it for the month and deliver it ON TIME at the next available appt time. 3) find you a warehouse to store it in until it is time to deliver it next month, but the original carrier will not be delivering it (shown themselves to not be reliable on this lane) and I will be claiming the carrier for the cost of the storage and delivery with a new carrier.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t wait to see how unreasonable I am.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
