We have heard of some brokers that r being bad boys an not paying on any loads

So you slap their hands and go after the bond.. or threaten them you are going after it..funny how calls get returned when you go after that pesky bond..

They are a small company. Just a couple of people.

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.

Who all hasn’t been paid from them?

We had two loads we had to haul and dump on the ground in San Antonio. 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.

Once we did on the washouts but a few well placed phone calls took care of that.
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!!

if you know us silica is the shipper on this stuff then why the hell are you guys working for brokers in the first place ? if john doe can get on thier vendors list and haul this shit then so can you. but either way its a shame that all these people have dragged oilfield freight down to ag commodity rates.... i had an offer a couple days ago to haul i want at 1.98 per mile...... this is oilfield thats almost an insult , this stuff should be paying 2.25 to 2.50 minimum with detention..... everything else oilfield does...well did til brokers got thier meat beaters in the pot.

takes a foolish man to sign a non compete

I have used brokers years ago , but would never sign a non compete , if they had one we just did'nt do business , years ago the ag brokers in texas did'nt even have packets they just made you send em a copy of ins. and a tax number.... the way i look at it , its a competitive world out here and i'll be damned if i will let someone else dictate where i do business and with who , its just as easy for me to go to the shipper as it is for them ,

What do you mean with that?? You are saying that their bond is take too?? He blocks all the ones that he owes, so i guess he doesnt care anymore.. Jessica is his wife and he still working with his trks...

has anyone actually filed on the companies bond? seems like a lot of whining and bitching but no one is following up.

Has anyone been paid??

If not, contact me..... 2102756731

Yup, some idiots will still haul for them...iven though they owe money to carriers
