First non-paying broker
 

Hmmm their kind of a good sized company ...so I didnt expect this..........Logistics America

Well this is the deal deivered a load for them about 70 days ago......had agreed to 2,400 ...invoiced themn with rate agreement and bills about 60 days ago....n they said they were a 30 day payer.

Ive been hounding the broker Ean for about two weeks now......and he finally admited their short funds even tho the shipper payed him...cuz i was wondering what the hell the problem was cuz he has been giving me the run around for almost two weeks.

So going to ding their credit tommorow through a collection agent ......and going to call the shipper and request payment.

Say I got the load thru get loaded.com or internet truck stop....how do i report to them Logistics America is a non-payer?

Call their bond company first thing tomorrow morning. Should have done that on day 31. Depending on what they have to tell you, then you can call the shipper.

If there is money left on the bond, you should have your money in a week or two. You kept a copy of the BOL and rate sheet right?

File on their surety bond asap.

K thks all
....yeah doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
forgot about calling their bond,....umm how do you find out who their bond is?
I mean dont they file the bond with a company...not sure how that works?....only been a carrier about 6 months now so ...so much I dont know

last time I talked to OOida they said some goods the bond wont cover...is electronic refrigeration goods 1?....doubt it but so much I dont know.

what's their MC#?

some freight is exempt from a bond claim. with an MC# you can find the bond issuer's tel # in about 2 minutes.

Pepe sorry to digress here, but I see that you are thinking of joining Landstar, what happened? I know you had low expenses, what has been your biggest problem? Curious to hear your experiences.

Well just think I can make more $ there.....and still have all the benififts of my independence. I mean I am making it and keeping myself afloat, but this is getting to be too much headache when I can possibly make the same or more at Landstar I am coming to the conclusion of since talking to Landstar drivers.

I mean all the headaches of running you own authority versus the profits in pay is not really making me excited about my first year as a carrier.

I quess its my own fault tho in one sense...that I am not aggresive enough to find shippers, but it isnt an easy process I will tell you, and getting $ out of brokers I'd rather pull teeth from rattlesnakes for a living :-p....even with Load its good tips on shippers nothing seems to work-out for me.

I wont lease some where I dont have the same freedom though...landstar or somewhere similar is all I will consider.

thks rank...ill look it up...Logistics America is a fairly big Co so should be able to find their #...why I did NOT expect this.

ahhh damn...there not as big as i thougfht they were either....they fooled me when they had such a well done web site, but after looking them over more they are pretty mickey mouse :-p

Ive been dealing directly with the head hancho...not good.
