[@pokerman9108]

Better know what you're doing if you're going to hold a load hostage... Put the storage fee's in the rate con. If this happens, then send them a invoice each day for $1000 storage fees and I do not release product till fee's are paid. Just like a storage facility would do.

In fact the way it goes down is the customer talks to the broker, whom then call me and I point out the fee's. most of the time the broker pays them out of pocket... They don't want to lose their customer over a few grand. Would you dump a customer you make 50k a year off of for a few K? doubt it... this shit i not all cut and dry like you think. this is still the wild west...

I had an executive from an oil company call me to inform me that I had to sit on his load over a labor day weekend after the delivery address that was given to me was wrong. I flat out told him he make arrangements to get me unloaded or I confiscate it and he will have to contact my attorney to re negotiate terms. He got on the ball and got me a proper address to drop his load. Sometimes we have to push back or get used to being a doormat.

[@dominick253]

There's a story of a load of potatoes where that happened. Trucker was a pro. No problem he said. He stored it at a warehouse and kept on trucking. Months later when they went to court the judge sided with the trucker and they paid an absurd amount of money to get a load of rotten potatoes. You own it while it's on the truck. That's what they sign the bol to you.

[@stevethomas5209]

@@dominick253 I highly recommend anyone thinking of going into the trucking business should spend a few bucks and hire an attorney for an hour to instruct them on these issues. Truckers are loosing thousands of dollars because of issues like this. They need to be ready and have all the right answers when the brokers and shippers and receivers screw up. They always want the trucker to take the brunt of the screw up when they caused it in the first place. In my case when that executive in Canada realized his staff forwarded the wrong information to the broker for the delivery address on my load and I was not going to sit on his freit over the labor day weekend for free he got on the ball and found an address to drop his delivery right quick. My point here is I was adamant that his freit was my property if he didn't figure it out at 3:30 in the afternoon Friday before the holiday weekend. Truckers need to be ready to set the record and tell them how things are going to work out if they dont fix the problem. The cost of reloading his freit and having it shipped BY ME ONLY would cost him a fortune. It was about to become my property and if he wanted it I was not going to play nice at all. Glad he got the message so it worked out for both of us..... Hey Truckers !!! That's how it's done.... so grow a set and wise up for the sake of your industry and stop doing business like crack head loosers.

[@SeeSaw99]

Same thing happened to me with a broker on a Proctor and Gamble load. Broker lied about the delivery date and thought I was going to sit 4 days for free. Every night at midnight, I sent them a storage bill of $750 per day. I ended up getting about 75% of the total storage bill. You guys need to learn the laws that protect you from broker fraud and abuse.

[@SeeSaw99]

@dominick253 FINALLY. Someone who understand the freight chain of custody. You are absolutely correct. The "driver" took ownership/responsibility for the load at pickup and is 100% responsible for it until someone else accepts delivery. PERIOD. As long as the driver fulfilled his part of the agreement, he's protected

[@vwalsh63]

@@SeeSaw99 he's protected right up until he tries to hold the load hostage. The thing is he basically owns that load when he put it on the truck. That means that until someone else signs to accept it, the consignee another carrier or a storage place/warehouse. Maybe these guys talking about a friend of a friend did this or that know stuff I don't. Think about this, you're in a city not your own, you decide to put this load in storage. How do you do that? Do you think possibly the warehouse guy might wonder about things like who will be paying him? Who actually owns this stuff? Who authorized it to be delivered to an unauthorized address? How many agencies are going to be racing over here to arrest me for receiving stolen goods? He handled it as well as he could. Get out from under the liar's load asap by any means necessary. Accept whatever extra money offered. Ideally make the delivery without incident. Then look at the bill of lading. You will see "prepaid" meaning the shipper is paying the freight, or "collect" meaning the consignee is paying the freight. Once you've determined that (understand that the "shipper" may not be where you loaded, same with the delivery) once you've determined who pays then you know who the broker's customer is. That's where you send your "amended" freight bill with your extra charges and an explanation of why you have billed them directly. If you're asking for reasonable compensation you'll probably get it. From the broker. Who doesn't want to lose his customer. The one who was on the phone with him 10 seconds after he read your freight bill.

When they needed a delivery that was out of the normal and didn’t fit the contracts with big trucking companies. We got the call. Handled the delivery immediately, and made sure everything for the customer was smooth sailing. No issues ever. It became a name your price relationship with many businesses because we were so good. Like I said, grow relationships with people. Invest in them. Most of the time it will pay big dividends. It’s not something that happens overnight. We worked on it for many years. Our relationships with the small guys kept us busy as hell and our relationships with the big guys not only allowed us to haul their products but we also grew a heavy haul/ over dimensional trucking company along with a rigging company because of the trust we built with them. We moved heavy equipment for these big food manufacturers. Everything from ovens, mixers, vats, pumps, piping. It all grew from a single handshake and a promise to never ever let them down.

Should charge "putting up with shit" fee to go into areas like CA. And allowed to charge surcharges as needed for reefer fuel used to keep loads a "REQUIRED TEMP". 5.

This is very common for small independents getting screwed. This is why I haul Household goods only. I set my own rates, and I have a 17 page tariff. What you need to do immediately is send the Broker and Shipper a Notice that you will be placing the goods into storage in the next 24 - 48 hours, and cite the breach in the hauling contract. You will need to cc the letter to your insurance company, state police, and FMCSA. This way they cannot have you arrested for frivolous offenses, If they refuse to act within the time stated on your notice, place the goods into storage and invoice them. Follow the protocol above to cc everyone. If they fail to pay you for storage and reasonable waiting time and all other expenses incurred, you send them a final letter demanding payment in 7 days, or you will place the goods into a public auction. If no money comes in 7 days, you have a right to sell of the goods in an auction. This will be a big time waster for you, and keep in mind if you make any mistakes, they will use that against you in a cargo claim. Check with your state on the procedures for public auctions, and how you should notify the debtor. All the best. Alternatively, I have been told by a friend that you can call the FMCSA and explain the problem to them and they can show you how to file a claim on the brokers surety bond. This may be the easiest way, however you will need to do this after you have delivered the load. The claim process may take several months to be adjudicated, and the chance of winning the claim is not certain.

[@Jfdas123]

Where and how did you get the 17 page tariff? This sounds like really good advice.

[@Dan13Speed]

@@Jfdas123 I love to write. My Wife looks at the tariff and she says, "Your nuts 😆". Here is how you do it. First you start by defining the carrier, that is your company. Name address, MC and DOT number. Then you define who is your Shipper I.e the person who hires the carrier to haul the load. Then you define the consignee etc. Secondly you define your rate per mile. Say $8 It needs to be high so you can discount it on an invoice. Then you define things such as payment terms, waiting time, storage in transit, tolls, lumpers etc. You then define things such as your procedures when a shipper fails to pay. When a consignee is unable to receive. You think about all the scenarios that happen in real life on the road that you encounter under a load. Over weight procedures and fines, Hazmat procedures and permits. Finally you have a table for fuel surcharges. If the fuel is $4 fuel surcharge will be 12% if fuel is $5 fuel surcharge will be 18% etc. Then get it down to fine print and sent it directly to your Shipper once they book a load along with an estimate. Send a copy of your tariff to the FMCSA so they have it on file. If you update it or make changes make sure you update them. It's that simple. I haul house hold goods, motorcycles cars and boats so whomever wants me to haul their stuff gets an estimate as well as my tariff. All the best.

Every time you deliver or pickup a load offer to match/undercut the broker by a few percent. The brokers take a huge cut so even if you go 10% under the brokers quote you come out ahead. After a few years you will have a bunch of customers and enough loads to fill your calendar.

I contact them and I confirm de rate confirmation and the dates and times . Otherwise , I cancel the deal. But , having said that . This shit shouldn’t ever happen. If happens , then they have to pay for storage . As you stated , 1,000 . In my case , I have to make at least 1500 per day , specially now that the Deasel is so expensive The problem I see in this industry is that , we don’t have any leverage to fight for what is right and fair. That is the reason that brokers can F With us without fear or consequences.. I really appreciated that you take the time to put this info out , for all of us. There is something to learn from.

And it was a Saturday so they weren’t going to be in Sunday obviously. And I was trying to get home specifically bc of a terrible snow storm coming that way, so then the customer was closed Monday bc of the weather, and I was snowed in at the truck stop till Tuesday.

I'm going to finish the video and see if my gut is right or if I would have made a terrible truck driver. lol Okay... now I am halfway through the video and I am fuming. I wouldn't waste my breath on that dispatcher because he is probably being paid minimum wage and has no authority to do anything. He's obviously trained to deal with this situation and is telling you what will and will not happen which tells me he has dealt with this exact same situation multiple times so this is absolutely a scam. Contact the customer directly and inform them that if he wants his merchandise he can get it unloaded now or it will be left in a local storage unit. (Ask around for the name of the worst local storage place with the worst reputation for getting robbed and casually drop that name.) Explain that you are under contract to pick up another load and can't wait around them to correct their mistake. I bet someone would have miraculously found a way to get your truck unloaded pretty fast. Grrr....

You gotta be very firm with these brokers and not allow them to force you to take any crap. Most brokers are lieing scumbags, I'd absolutely charge storage fees for screw ups like this. $500/day for storage would be more reasonable but I can absolutely understand telling them $1000/day for storage to force them into getting that load off your trailer. Because at the end of the day, you are responsible for your equipment and you gotta make sure bills are paid. I've told brokers to get their shit off my trailer or it'll end up in a dumpster and they will be billed for wasting my time. Never had that fail on me. And I make it crystal clear that if the appointment time is not what was agreed to on the orgininal rate confirmation, they will be paying me a minimum of $500/day for layover/storage and if they don't agree to those terms they can find another truck to haul their crap. I do have legal counsel who has helped me get money from shady brokers who tried to screw me, brokers HATE dealing with lawyers because that means big trouble if they are sued. 99 out of 100 times, the threat of legal action will get things solved. Safe travels and keep the rubber side down.

You can put a load in storage at a warehouse and charge them storage fees until they are paid. You legally own the load while it's on your truck. They legally don't get ownership until they sign for it and unload it.

He said I’m not, so I told him if not I will just sit with your load and u will loose your customer and will tell your customer that u are not paying me my money that u owe me for sitting for 2days. Within the next hour I got my money for 1500. Police could not do a dam thing because it’s business and all they would say is take up in court because it’s a civil matter.

[@warcube91]

I had an absolute hate for brokers when i worked shipping and receiving. The first couple hours of the shift were the busiest and we absolutely could not handle a large truck out of order most of the time. I worked at a company that had 3 sets of 3 dock doors. Most were reserved for drop and hooks and i only had about 3 doors we could really use, and 1 was on the opposite end of the building. And we didn't have much dock side space, we had room to unload a single trailer, if that, and after that we had to start hauling material to storage, and we only had a couple forklifts. I had a guy show up at 3:30 asking for a door, his broker had told him to get there at 4, our dock time for that truck was 6PM. He was livid when i told him i couldn't get to him for 2 hours, but i had a 4 PM live load/backhaul for 1 door, a 5PM live load/backhaul for the 2nd door and the 3rd door was just not an option because of the location. It was not the last time that happened either. And it wasn't like this was a one off load for us, this particular truck was a 3x Weekly delivery. It was always nice when we got the same drivers as they knew what to expect. At one point we were expediting 1 or 2 skids of product every 4 hours to the customer (not our fuckup) so we had sprinters showing up like clockwork. I had one guy walk in after i just gave the previous guy the paperwork to leave (they literally held the door for each other) and asked how soon he could be loaded. He was not happy when i said 4 hours. I told him we are shipping every 4 hours and that guy just walked out with everything we have right now.

[@jcg702]

I'm a company driver, have been for almost 8 years. You have way more patience than I do man.

Something isn't right when all the legality stuff falls on the driver. I remember hearing one time about someone going through a truck stop parking lot at night popping seals.
