Walmart holding my trailer untouched

What? Lol did you open the doors when backing it in? I would have gotten my trailer thay same day!!

 

I'm willing to bet Walmart is using that trailer for storage... And knowing it's only you that owns it A probably figure that you don't have the money to come after them for it..

 

Come after them for it? Can't he just tell the shippingananger he is there to pick his trailer up, get the #### out now or it's coming with me.

 

Next time get trailer detention terms added to the rate con. You can’t trust anyone. Nobody cares.

Your gonna have to get triple ####ty with the broker and also start calling the Walmart repeatedly.

Ask for the people who are in charge.

Worst case call the popo lol

 

Don't bother with getting a lawyer. Just go in there and pick it up and take it away. This is way beyond what you agreed to. Bring appropriate tools to remove your icc bumper if needed, if they have it hooked to the door.
Don't worry about the threats that will follow. You don't want to do business with people like this anyway. Find better customers. Or tell them they can pay up front next time, some amount high enough to cover the freight, as well as the price of another new trailer, that should cover it. Tell them to keep the trailer as long as they like at that point. Because this is a losing battle. Keep this crap up and you will be another failure of the industry.

 

Did you go into the place and try to pick it up or did you just look through the fence and assumed they haven't done a thing to it?

 

As a one truck and trailer guy, the only time I will disengage from that trailer is at a live unload with me watching the #### thing. That's my livelihood and any broker posting with "drop for 48 hrs" etc I just move on. They hardly ever pay enough for that anyway, and as in this case, too many variables involved.

 

Ain't that the truth. Got one guy always looking for people to do loads for one large buyer close to me... deal is always drop for 48-72. Beyond that, the pay is $30 per day if they need the trailer longer than 72. To a maximum of 10 days ($300). No wonder nobody will move it. Even the new canadians aren't dumb enough to chase that (I wish they were).

 

Charge Walmart for storage at daily rate or per pallet.
Tell broker this.
