    Call the shipper and tell them the broker is playing games with your money. If he does not pay by the end of this week you are going to start a small claims case to sue the shipper for payment. That usually gets a phone call from the shipper to the deadbeat broker to get going. Dont even worry about them not wanting to use you again, if they dont pay now, there not going to pay on the next load.
     
    Dryver, gokiddogo and zinita17601 Thank this.

    I don't think he'll have a problem getting CHRobinson to pay on the next load. Contact the receiver and ask them to fax / email a copy of the signed BOL to you, and forward that to CHRobinson.
