Scottlynn

Almost everyone I run across. I never have any problems or issues collecting detention from brokers most of the time.

When I do have a problem there I make a mental note of DNU them and never forget it. A total lack of respect is what it is.

I get it that people have used them and had no problems. There's no problem until there's a problem, right?

The load was a total mess all around. This was 8 or 10 years ago and I was newer to broker shenanigans. Brand new cub cadet riding lawn mowers from Brownsville, TN going to a Home Depot DC in GA somewhere. Showed up on time and wasted hours at the shipper that I didn't get any detention for then showed up for a "scheduled live unload" on time to find out it was a 24-48hrs drop/destination load. This was before I knew that's how all Home Depot DC loads deliver, so do not book those unless you're ok with it. Which I wasn't because that's not what they "sold me". These loads usually paid somewhat higher than market rates due to the 24-48 hr drop/destination and work great for companies with multiple trailers that do drop and hook. But not so good for one truck guys. Scot Lyn, Landstar and a handful of other scummy brokers routinely book these type loads on unsuspecting carriers and never reveal that minor delivery detail. Unethical business as usual...

 

I did a load for these guys out of Iowa, it was eggs....took 14 hours to pick up and these guys did NOT pay me detention...will NEVER haul a load for them again!
the warehouse manager said 5 employees quit them that day and went to work for another egg house down the road and thats why it took so long....doesn't matter...scottlynn's responsibility to compensate me....

they are lucky I am a guy of work and loyalty ethic that I did not cancel their load pick up after 5 hours
