Overweight, loaded with an extra 8000lbs, what would you do?

that’s exactly what I did. He said “the shipper sent me here, it’s his freight. I’ve been storing it for him for 8 months.” I told him he was crazy and would get in a wreck. Told the broker and shipper the same. The broker agreed with me and told the shipper he needed an insured hotshot. Shipper was adamant that it was his freight, he was paying the shipping and had hired Durango, trailer and dicks towing to arrange a transfer of a portion of his freight. So new rate con was drafted up by broker with the weight removed by the towing company and a hold harmless with an Oklahoma warranty with the shipper stating he assuming all responsibility for the freight and was putting the Durango in serious trouble. Can’t stop a person from taking his own freight when I refuse to live with it due to his lying about the original weight loaded on me. I’ve been in business 22 years. I’ve seen plenty of litigation. You cannot legally stop a shipper from taking any portion of his freight back if I am refusing to move with it. What he does with that freight is not my decision. I’m not god. I’m a truck driver.
Yes, I have pics, but in the possible interest the guy is on this board and with me not knowing how to blur license plates, I don’t want to post them until I’m home and my kid can cover the plates up. Yes, was in Everett by the Everett mall exit on I5 south. Oddly, only a piece or two of siding fell off. His dad came with a gooseneck trailer and dually, dicks transferred the load to that and off they went. Durango guy got 3 hefty tickets, civic girl was walking around. Semi took off before police could arrive.

 

Close. DAT debacle.

 

I was at the Truckstop in Arlington, had originally departed from Bellingham.

 

Here’s pics cutting out the vehicle as it’s not a person I know, so I’m not putting his vehicle on a public forum with his plate. But that was the tiny trailer that showed when the broker told me “a hotshot flatbed is on the way to you to take 9000 lbs off from the shippers towing company. The other pic was the last shot pre accident.
