TQL refuses to pay for delivered load !

Apparently your education isn't in the way of grammar and the English language. But thats another topic... You screwed up just as the PO screwed up. I agree that you should had been paid through the second stop. Learn from your mistakes.

 

You failed to do so much on this, and then you come here and blame it on the broker for not paying you because you did not do what you promised to do.

Please share with me the logic of that.

You may not comprehend this, but you are working in a service industry here. Your service is delivering other peoples property where they would like sent to.

All you did was collect the evidence for TQL to NOT pay you after the second stop. And then you continued to waste your employers resources by continuing on to the final stops as well to continue to document the mess up.

 

Here's my take. Yeah the guy could have caught the mistake. He gets that. We all make mistakes. If we were perfect we would be runnin the world.
What I think happened, was a broker that got paid and saw an opportuniy keep the cash and screw the trucking company!!!

 

That's the whole point of contracts - to spell out in writing (so that nobody gets screwed) exactly what needs to be done in order to get paid. Don't fulfill one of the WRITTEN obligations, then you don't get paid.

Carrier doesn't fulfill the terms of the contract, carrier does not get paid. Nobody's getting screwed here, it's just straight up business.

 

I know a contract is a contract, but there is also a moral issue here. I'm sure the broker got paid. They should do the right thing and pay just like they got paid.

 

so what's the purpose of a contract then?

 

A contract is primarily in place to protect the intrests of the parties involved. Not to be used to take advantage. I could see if the broker did not get paid or lost a customer. But I really don't think that is the story here. Sounds more like greed. Just my opinion.

 

If you made your money in something other than trucking, why are you trucking? Wouldn't it be easier to go back to where you can make money and life is much easier and less stressful at whatever else your education field is in? Then you wouldn't have to come on here and listen to all of us on here.
