question about brokered loads

I got ripped off twice in 6 1/2 years, so well under .1%. 99% of brokers and shippers have a setup contract to sign, and you get a load confirmation on each load unless the loads are spelled out in the original contract (rare). If it's not in writing, it doesn't exist. Never roll the truck without a confirmation.
As far as collecting, the bankruptcy court on one sent me a check last year. I got paid $300 on a $2200 freight bill. I've yet to hear from the second one.

 

Never not been paid either on my own or with prior company. I have been screwed out of detention a few times and have had to do everything but threaten to send Guido to visit but I have been paid.

 

Whats Guido's # I might could use him?

 

I have to contact him through Lenny Big Toes who is a guy I met at Rubes Truck Stop in Jersey many years ago. Capice?

 

I have one on my wall now it's a carrier not a broker my buddy called me and ask if I could help them out that he does alote for this guy and always gets his money well that was in July for $4,200 I paid a lawyer to send a letter and $250 later got me nowhere so I just took it to my CPA to see if I could right it off on taxes I just don't think I will ever see a dime

 

How would this be deductable? You're already deducting the expenses associated in moving the load.
