Man defitinely a learning experience. Keep on truckin Kev.

[@ridingwithkev]

Appreciate it

[@gabrieldaly6771]

Call/email Amazon and let them know as much information that you have. Amazon hates double brokers too. Best of luck, keep trucking

[@ridingwithkev]

I have reached out to them.

[@kevinpierce4605]

You do have the right to contact the shipper/ and of receiver and they have to pay you direct. By law they are the responsible party for payment to carrier sir.

[@georgiapatriot4575]

I agree with this. I understand that you need to make sure that your carrier name is shown on the BOL.

[@ridingwithkev]

I have been trying. No such luck yet. Amazon told me there is no BOL since it wasn't product just empty tubs. Most of my PO loads don't have BOL. I have to make my own.

[@georgiapatriot4575]

@@ridingwithkev Well, I'm sorry for you but look as it as a paid education. It might be worth reflecting on it and then if you figure out some steps you could have followed to avoid getting scammed, make a video about it.

[@ridingwithkev]

@clemsmith8799 that's how involved the scam is. I signed a carrier packet but it doesn't even look like that is legit as the company who's account was used to post the load and carrier packet I filled out isn't who had the load.

[@madhatter3041]

Awww this sad😢😢

[@ridingwithkev]

Thanks buddy

[@CaptainGoldberg]

I think I would go pick the trailer up and hold it hoatage until Amazin went after the scammer.

[@ridingwithkev]

Unfortunately I am pretty sure amazon wouldn't let me back on the yard. I am working the channels but Amazon is an enormous company and even getting to the right person has been a challenge.

[@ReputableRides-bb7wy]

It sucks this happened to you but god was looking out for you at the casino lol, glad it wasnt a total waste, keep your head up! Also since youre at one year now are you considering buying a trailer?

[@ridingwithkev]

I have owned trailers. Right now I am really enjoying PO. I do have a plan though

[@DanielBihari-zl5iw]

I got scammed on an amazon load to and never got paid

[@ridingwithkev]

I'll never run another one unless I go through Amazon directly. I also have gotten quite good at spotting scam loads

[@bigrigbutters187]

That sucks.

[@ridingwithkev]

It truly does

@@ridingwithkev What did you learn from this?

[@issacespinoza5498]

Last time they try to fool me by a load with double broker,when i found out,it was while i was still with posesion of the load,i didn't deliver the load at the receiver i call the shipper and they ask me to bring their load back to them and pay me in advance fuel and what i ask for my time. What was the name of the double broker and MC?

[@ridingwithkev]

Wish I had caught on sooner and could have worked something out easier. They listed the load as freighmasters which is a legitimate company out of Houston. Not sure ifnthat is the actual company though as I have had no luck getting ahold of them. That could have just been the company they used on DAT.

[@alaskahaul2085]

Why didnt you just take the zelle payment from them?

[@ridingwithkev]

The link was also a scam. It used to steal banking info

[@lastlaplogistics8512]

Prime sounds good right about.... NOW

[@ridingwithkev]

@lastlaplogistics8512 for some people I am sure. Just not for me.

[@georgiapatriot4575]

I'm assuming you reported the broker to DAT. Would be interesting to see what they have to say. Probably "no comment". BTW, I'm also commenting on every video to help you with the algorithm. "Like and comment".

[@ridingwithkev]

Yeah I also did but I am not sure that broker even knows. It's very involved scam actually. I know they had to have used at least 3 broker MC's. Amazon keep kicking me around and no one will answer anything.

Definitely looking at all options

Sorry for the bad luck, but you won 2,000.00 👍🙏

[@44MHughes]

What happened to you had nothing to do with double brokering. The people who stole your money were probably guilty of it, but that’s a separate issue. Double brokering happens when somebody involved in the load doesn’t have brokerage authority. There could be 12 people reposting that load and it’s legal and okay as long as they all have brokerage authority. It’s perfectly normal. You haul loads all the time that have multiple brokers involved and you don’t even know it.

[@ridingwithkev]

Hey, don't forget about us :)
