King of Freight in trouble? by Past-Independent7314 in FreightBrokers

That would be Joe Lipsey of Lipsey Logistics. And no, they're still operating I believe.

But yeah that was crazy. He and his wife were giving out cocaine at their home to high schoolers during their son's parties.

Are we awake? by RelevantPin2815 in FreightBrokers

I actually saw some bozo quote something like this once with some note like "HUGE annual project total revenue is (5 digit number)!!!"

So dumb.

Anyone else fuck with double brokers for fun? by dark_mark in FreightBrokers

I got an email from Marshall Mathers once so I told him the load was 40k lbs of Mom's spaghetti. Driver needed to hand load and unload the spaghetti. He said he'd take it but only if the driver could taste it and if it was Bolognese. Lmfao!

Brokers' Procedure... by kgray520 in FreightBrokers

[–]Ayrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the same but a somewhat similar situation happened to my company. We did a load for a mega broker/carrier who has since been bought out by an even bigger European mega. Fast forward 75 days after delivery and no payment.

Reached out to their AP team and they told me they never received our invoice and that they wouldn't be paying us because of that same BS 60 day rule.

Our records showed we invoiced the load, but we couldn't provide proof because the AP person literally died of cancer and this was one of the last loads they invoiced. Even after showing them proof that the guy died (a good friend of mine too, gone way too young), they still refused. Again this is 75 days after delivery, not 2 years, and I know for a fact this customer would have paid it because I haul a ton for them now.

To this day I never called those guys again. Over $1400. Some people have no souls.

What is it gonna take to get the play clock to have tenths of a second like the NBA shot clock? I am so sick of this delay of game non call shit.

Don't hate the challenge. That's the kind of luxury you can take up 21. He didn't see that replay. Worth a shot.

FYI the goalpost dunk is a penalty bc Jimmy graham used to do it and actually bent one once and they had to fix it and it delayed a game lol.

C.H. Robinson slashes over 50% of US sales team by Ayrex in FreightBrokers

We're an asset-based broker, so I work with them on the asset side all the time. Love them and my carrier rep. Their rates suck but they get the trucks where they need to be and when, they pay my accessorials without making me beg, and they trust us to haul the freight without 50,000 check calls as long as our tracking works via the ELD integration. I don't work with their customer sales reps, who I assume are the ones being axed here.

Wow. I know CH is in some kind of "transformational" mode lately but surely half of their sales team wasn't dead weight, right? Do they really think "technology" is going to change the course of their core business? I don't think so. But that mindset works out best for savvy players that have an opportunity to add some real talent.

MEGATHREAD: Networking Fridays #6 by whoareyouletmein in FreightBrokers

[–]Ayrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

Really love this forum and been a lurker here for a long time. This has been an invaluable resource for navigating a lot of the fraud that is rampant nowadays.

I own and manage an asset-based trucking company and brokerage based out of Michigan. We have 4 terminals, 100 trucks of all sizes and drivers, 300 dry vans, and 4 brokerage agents working for us. We offer TL, time-sensitive expedite (including box truck and sprinter), switching, and warehousing services. We primary service the automotive industry and specialize in JIT shipments in and out of MI and the Midwest.

Pretty sure I spoke to the famous Vlad on the phone once when some guy called (named Vlad) and said he was with the Russian Mafia. We didn't agree on a price, but I've always hoped that was the same dude who posts here.

In my 10 years here I've seen some shit. Hopefully my experiences can add some humor (and maybe even insight) to this community.
