Posting For Good and Bad Brokers

No it isn't.

 

Hey Chris. Can you expand a little bit on your answer when you get a chance? Thanks. Did you ever collect here in Vegas?

 

I think the 1st step would be to terminate your B/A agreement in writing. But @wichris would know better.

 

Never could collect there in Vegas. They're all deadbeats there. LOL

Turn non-payment over to someone like B&B and they will collect from the shipper. If you go to the bond first it makes it harder to do.

Just call the shipper and let them know their agent/broker is not paying the carrier and you will turn it over for collection. That gets a
phone call to the broker real quick. It's hard to justify in court a clause that gives up your rights to a federal regulation.

 

Yeah, I will never file on a bond again. It's much better to just go after the consignee, or whoever benefited from your service. But the other poster raised a good question. How can we get around these agreements that basically make us waive our rights? If the agreement says that we can't go after the shipper, how can we justify going after the shipper?

 

That's why you turn it over to people like Baxter & Bailey. Their attorneys know how.
I've been threatened more than a few times, I just laugh and say I want to go to court. What are they going to say? I didn't pay him and now I want
to sue him for trying to collect?

Just did one a week or so ago. Called the customer told them i was turning it over to the attorney. Less than an hour later the brokers on the phone screaming but the money was wired that day.
