Need help. What to do with this load?

I don’t know man. I’m for the cause but you probably should deliver it and move on. You’ve taken a stand and gotten more money. Time to get back to business.

 

Maybe @PPDCT will chime in with some guidance.


Hope it works out for you.
The way I see it, stick to your guns and get fairly compensated for your work
What's a few more days?? ?

 

I chalk guys like that up as scumbag agents. I guess after you step on enough landmines you just learn how to avoid them, but situations like this will always happen in this business.

For me, it's not even worth all the grief.

Chalk it up to profit and loss, learning experience, and just keep moving.

I know precisely how you feel Dino, but it's just the business. Just avoid that agency.

I feel for your pain. Just move forward.

 

The guy on the phone have a Russian accent ?

 

I called OOIDA to help me with a broker that only wanted to pay 40,000lbs on a load that I had loaded 44,500 that payed by the 100 wt. They wanted me to load 48,000 min. and I had a tri axle trailer and that was all I could load, Turned in a cat scale tic. gross 80,600 but they would not budge a bit even with the pay and in the small print in broker paper work the lady at our office showed me in the pages of broker contract that they would only send us the 1st page with the rate info. to save us fax. money at truck stop, this was before cell phones, so ooida tried to help but broker had their rear ends covered in contract my co. signed to get loads. Yea its been mon. and tues. gone bye bye, so hope fully Wen. they will change their tune and pay you.

 

How much revenue are you losing by not delivering this load and grabbing another ?

 

Man, this whole deal is ugly. I'm sorry you're in this spot, @Dino soar.

I don't have a ton to add. I don't know at what point you're going to cut bait, but I do have one question: do you have contacts above the agent you've been dealing with? IE: his supervisor, his supervisor's boss? Etc? Seeing as you've explicitly told the agent you don't want anything to do with him, I'd be looking for an option to go around him, and to get a sense of what they're going to do to square things up.

I'd also want to get a better look at the communications, and the broker-carrier agreement they had you sign, just to make sure you're not opening up any angles they can exploit after the fact.

 

Dino, I was talking to my office manager this afternoon about an unrelated issue. He said he had to step around everyone at the company we were dealing with and called the director who was in charge of the logistics. He said once he had to actually track down the site “ceo” (a huge company) and explained the situation to one of the assistance who solved the issue immediately.

just a thought, call the company switch board and ask for a person in mid management like a production manager.
