The broker knows we are Canadian carrier and knows I wanted the driver (and load) home for the weekend. The vehicle (which is valued at $170,000 and sitting on a flatbed) was supposed to spend the weekend in our warehouse, not in a hotel parking lot where it could be vanadalized.
But none of this was communicated to the shipper, and the shipper was the party responsible for the faxing of all docs to the borders. Usually I contact the shippers directly to confirm all the info. Unfortunately in this case I did not.
As an aside to this fiasco, Broker said the load was supposed to go to Oshawa. When the driver arrived, the shipper said Hamilton.
You're right. I'll get nothing out of this.
