Who is responsible......

I see the word Zelle in a load description and I move on to the next. Just my two cents. Not faulting you for doing it because I know how it is. Good luck. For me I think it’s sometimes just better to cut your losses and move on to the next.

 

Who's name is on signed rate confirmation.?
That is the liable party.
File on their bond.
Good luck.

 

I have seen some of those loads and passed on them everytime because I always thought it was some double broker weird stuff going on...
sorry for ur luck man that blows.

I would get in contact with the original broker since u recieved that information from the customer, they may or may not know their stuff is being double broker out in the first place and would like to have that info

@JimmyTwoTimes @PPNLE might have have some better idea

 

Yep! I see Zelle or cash app and I automatically put them on the block list. I will do C.o.d but it’s exactly that. CASH on delivery.

 

I don’t know that there is anything wrong with it. As long as you trust the person on the other end. Frankly a small part of it is the fact that I don’t want another app to learn. But a big part is the fact that they are new brokers generally seem to be not American and it’s always some piece of #### that was bought at auction. I don’t do auction freight because it’s always a pain in the dick. Every once in awhile while I’ll get tempted and it ends up being a #### show like every other time.

just like this load

 

If I'm understanding everything correctly you can file against the surety bond of whichever broker tendered you the load for the remaining $108, assuming they have a bond and it hasn't already been maxed out.

Technically you legally pursue the buyer for the remaining $108, but it would likely cost you more to go that route than it is worth.

 

Pretty much this. While I get that it's not about the $108, at the end of the day, you're going to burn a lot more time, trouble, and effort than that $108 is worth. I'd start by calling the company that the receiver was *supposed* to be working with, and see if they know anything about the load, etc. Maybe you'll get lucky. I know we'd probably pay $108 bucks to find out someone effed us.

Should you not get lucky, I'd honestly just chalk it up as a lesson, and move on. If someone promises you payment in terms of anything that's not check, comcheck, wire transfer, ACH, etc, that should tell you all you need to know.
