    I would still bill them as normal. If the rate con doesn’t say anything about being responsible for paying for the unloading crew, then file on the brokers bond after 30 days.
    What kind of product was it? Hopefully it wasn’t something exempt.

    he broke down, poor cell service, spent 10 hrs trying to fix his truck instead of getting to a phone and letting broker know where load was and why it was late.

    If you are going to be in the JIT business, you might want to look into getting a more dependable truck.

    You might want to look into only hauling loads that don't have a specific delivery date.

    Just get it there when you can driver, no problem.

    Always like the usual "it's not my fault" excuses. Broke down, no phone, over slept, ect.
