Please notify carriers, shippers, brokers about scam
These companies run by Henry, Tendry, Nas, and Al (go by names of Sonic Trans and or Able Logistics) has been defrauding truckers, shippers and brokers with a double brokering scheme. Loads are being accepted by a trucking company and then given to a second brokerage which double brokers the loads. The first truck usually, but not always, attempts to collect quick pay or an advance. The truck actually hauling the freight does not discover the fraud until they attempt to seek payment and cannot reach the broker anymore. The other scam is they will book a load and string the broker, shipper along to think the freight is moving across country when it has really been placed in storage in or near greater Los Angeles, Ca. They will be trying to get advances and partial payments all along and at some point they will charge the broker, shipper for the location where his freight has been placed in storage and the full invoice must be paid plus the storage fee. This has cause many problems for the industry. It is recommended that companies doing business with truckers or brokers be especially vigilant when contracting with companies. They have been calling us for loads from a Quebec number and recently a Las Vegas number 702-628-XXXX. Please be aware of this scam and mention it to as many people as you can.
