I’ve seen a sign at mill creek saying do not haul for Nolan..... just your typical fly by night company. They hit me up several months ago to haul for them but they paid 5-10 a ton less. So that tell you everything bout them. Just file on their bond but it’s under a different name than Nolan star trucking. I will look later and get you the info

Filing on their bond is a good idea, but if the load is ag related, or ag commodities, your filing will be turned down. The bond is not worth the paper it is printed on when it comes to the ag transportation sector. Look back at the fiasco when Peterson Trucking was bought out and refused to pay the bills. I can't tell you how many people got burned because the bond would not honor ag transportation.

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. If filing on the bond is inefective then go after the shipper and receiver. There is nothing worse than jepordizing their customer. You'll have to be calm and polite with the customer to be effective, and be prepared to quickly email over POD and other supporting docs proving you hauled the load and for what rate. Any halfway respectable customer would be furious to know that suppliers aren't getting paid properly, especially after the work is well done and paid weeks ago. It appears that they are trying to get away with not paying you, if that is the case they have no incentive to until you force their hand. Start sending them invoices with updated interest as well, so when it comes time to collect you can go over and above. My point here is imagine the call of your best customer going, "why am I getting these calls, I don't have time for this, isn't this why I hire you so I don't have to deal with this shit all day?" That is what an effective call to his would do. Stand up for yourself.

Their brokerage is under Nolan star logistics but they sign you up under Nolan star trucking so file under the logistics. Did you have a rejected load or any reason to not get paid ? I think they got hit with lots of rejected loads by rli and may be the end of Nolan .

Let me be clear, I dont backhaul on sand loads. As much as I would like to, I dont do it based on the fact that I have seen too many loads rejected. I've got a bunch of invoices to be paid. The owner wont answer anymore, I think my next call is to US Silica.

Or the wash ticket within 24 hrs of bol? Rli been pains bc of all these Kansas guys not washing when hauling commodities so we are stuck with the hassle. I heard the 36 hr is for all uss loads but rli is the only place I?ve had the hassle. No problems at wildcat locations. Do you have the Nolan star cell number of Robert Foran. 346-702-6952. I never worked for Nolan Star. The Robert guy always burned me phone up calling to get my trucks to work for them but their rates were crap and I?m happy who we haul for. Hope this helps! Not sure uss will do much but worth trying.

We had to deal with the damn corn trucks getting it shut down. My trucks were loaded and headed South when NS got shut off. We had 24 hours worth of detention on that but I doubt we ever get it. I talked to Robert the other day. He said he wasn’t there anymore but would try to help. No replies since. Ive had some dealings with USS in the past. I’ve got some pretty good numbers to try. Thanks for your help!!

The problem I have with all of this is my trucks were not rejected until the PO was pulled. They still weren't contaminated because we dont normally backhaul sand. I had also invoiced 9 loads BEFORE the PO was pulled. They may be able to blame some folks for the rejected sand but I'm not one of them. They had some trucks with contaminated loads because the lazy fuckers wont clean out the corn and shit before they go load sand.

All you have to do is look it up on Safer. I guess that really doesnt matter tho. There are a lot of folks "Dispatching" with no authority. I wonder how they answer the phone to dispatch trucks. They wont answer any number I have called them from.
