Quebec Company (Carrier) owes me money

I assume your not a company driver, so the labour board is no help. I’m thinking sueing them.

 

You took the risk of not getting money up front and now you're upside down for $3k
When meeting a new customer a simple four word rule always applies: SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Find a good factoring company. They usually charge 3% per invoice, but they will get your money without you going through the headaches. I just had a customer go over 70 days before settling with the factoring company but I had got paid the day after the invoice was submitted for factoring. My factoring company handles all of the invoicing and kept in communication with me until the invoice was settled. Well worth the 3%.

 

One option is to join a good load board. I prefer DAT Power Load Board. I don't know if DAT is available in canada, but it is well worth the $149 per month subscription. This load board allows you to click on a broker's mc number, (which is listed next to the broker's name) and see who they have their bond with. The bond company's phone number is listed and you can call and file against the broker's bond.

 

Go to small claims court. You can get a judgement in your favor. But it's up to you to collect, the court won't do that for you. So have a lien placed on the company owners home. You'll get you money.

I've had to use them one time. It was a $1200 invoice I think. Collected $200 and change. Same thing. Carrier had a load I hauled it for them, kept getting run around and finally "I have no idea when you will be paid." Sold it to b&b after 90 (?) days. Collected on it some time beyond that. Now I occasionaly do the same loads for one of 2 other reputable people. Live and learn. Keep new customers on very short leash. Always.
