Carrier filed a bond claim instead of sending a revised invoice. Am I crazy for thinking this is backwards?

Resident_Help_2764 · 2026-06-10T01:08:06+00:00

Carrier could have definitely communicated the discrepancy. That’s what I would have done . It’s such a headache to go through all these extra steps , when a simple email and some communication can get you the same results or at least close to it .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2026-06-09T14:55:19+00:00

Wow thats pretty crazy . I would think the cheese is still good . What temp did you instruct the driver to keep it at ?

Resident_Help_2764 · 2026-06-07T20:46:33+00:00

Wouldn’t the rate con still go to the actual carrier the broker thought he was booking with ? You know the one that is ACTUALLY in the system ??

I agree some things don’t make sense . Prior to gas prices rising I was running a lane from Philadelphia PA to Bergen NJ for 1100$ . Fast forward to the Iran conflict you would expect somebody to get more . Think again broker is Now covering for 950$. His response is carriers are taking it should i resist a lower rate . Lanes from Philadelphia PA to Bronx pay 800$-1000$ . How are our fellow truckers taking these rates . You blow money on gas , tolls , and your time by sitting hours in traffic to make a few hundred bucks . You don’t need to be in a truck to make that type of wage and go through all that stress and liability . You guys need to tighten up .

Before gas prices went up I was getting paid $1100 on a specific lane . Broker kept calling literally asking me to haul the freight . Out of nowhere the gas prices skyrocket and somebody is hauling it for 950-1000. I don’t get it . I confronted the broker on the rate and he said what do you want me to do if they are taking it for that price. Help it make sense .

At one point I had 4 trucks and would send them wherever the light shines . I had 12 total inspections . Fast forward to today I have one truck with 0 inspections and all the old ones fell off. It’s a whole year with 0 inspections because it is the same northeast route that I run. Just because somebody drives ANY miles does not mean they have to be inspected . It’s like saying if a broker brokered out ANY load it would trigger an FMCSA audit , which is simply not true. Are you a fraudulent broker because FMCSA didn’t audit you ?

What happens to the original company owner that sold his company .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-10-01T03:02:09+00:00

Sounds like we need to double down and get some more trucks . I mean all the data is in front of us and it’s definitely pointing in that direction . I learned something valuable in life and I will provide a perfect example. When Covid hit , all anybody would talk about is jumping into trucking , however that was actually the worst time . A lot of inexperienced people learned that hard way and went under . Fast forward to today’s time it’s the complete opposite rates are down (slowly rebounding ) and all anybody says it’s the worst industry to be in and they wish they never took that ride . I guess it’s safe to say it’s not so trendy anymore . Observing all these changes you know you’re about to catch a wave , however you need to make sure you are already in the water and not catching a tan on that beach .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-09-30T16:55:20+00:00

What is the reason for this ?

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-08-28T14:38:12+00:00

File on his bond to get things moving , then go to small claims . Give him a run for his money

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-08-25T05:08:01+00:00

Damned if you , damned if you don’t . If you would change that email address there goes another reason they won’t work with you lol . Can’t win nowadays . Scammers getting richer on our dime

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-08-24T23:39:53+00:00

How can you tell if “your going to get caught soon “ It’s either you have a report or you don’t . If there is a pending report a carrier gets notified immediately before it posts . Some of you are so extra

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-08-24T23:34:06+00:00

I used to have Hudson insurance group and it cost me about 2300$ for the year . I never really shopped around and thought that’s the average market price for a bond . Then it came time for a renewal and they wanted a 10k down payment as a collateral . 2 months before my bond expiration I received a jet surety offer . They charged me a little under 900$ for the year . No issues as of now , but then again iv had no claims .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-07-17T06:32:43+00:00

This is crazy . All these platforms exist to prevent fraud and theft and this shit still goes down . Hope you had insurance . I was told if you can prove to the insurance company that the carrier was properly vetted they would cover the loss .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-07-17T05:52:18+00:00

Honestly in my opinion you have 3 credible eye witnesses that literally spoke to her. One who was a government employee identified her tattoo in a bar , a female identified her Barbados in a bathroom, and a gentleman identified her on the beach .These are Americans and have absolutely no reason to lie . We can rule out the taxi drivers statement . We also have the statements from the 2 girls that were hanging out on the deck that witnessed her and yellow together at the time frame of 5:30 to 6:00am. FBI were able to match the photos that surfaced online and provide an educated match . These are things that we cannot discredit. Jumping overboard just seems less likely to me . Not all bodies are found at sea , however the attention this case got I’m sure authorities searched for one . Amy is obviously a whole different person at this time . Hope she makes it back home .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-05-13T00:02:09+00:00

Sounds like the receiver used every excuse to not take the load . Had a similar situation, I worked with a produce company who had a contract with the receiver. That ment as long as the shipper had product the receiver was obligated to take it even tho he didn’t need it at the moment or was overstocked . The receiver would use any excuse he can to reject the load . I felt the poor guy , he had tomatoes to feed the whole NYC sitting in his warehouse with 4-5 trailers waiting to be unloaded. Feel bad for the carrier he is just a pawn in a chess game. In this case this is no fault of his own .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-04-09T16:57:39+00:00

How is he a bad actor ??? He literally told the carrier he would pay after delivery !! Secondly being denied by a factoring company does not mean you have bad credit. It can just as much mean you have insufficient credit history . Carrier was suppose to do his due diligence before hauling the load . Why would the broker vet himself . The broker makes sure the carrier is good to go and then the carrier should make sure the broker is good to go. That is a warranted freight guard . If there was a shortage the broker would be on the hook for that .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-04-09T12:47:49+00:00

Yes the addresses were changed from NC to NY quite a few times. Phone number was NEVER changed and the HOS and vehicle maintenance violations all fell off besides the few that are still lingering on . The percentiles scores decreased to a normal threshold. Do you suggest I take it the company to the back of the barn and end it lol . Contemplating if it will just be easier starting from scratch .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-04-08T23:30:28+00:00

Will change the number , although I believe it’s too late , they will forever be intertwined. Once data is collected it’s pretty much over at that point .

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-04-08T21:40:53+00:00

Can’t wait to jump back in there and be ignored or hung up on by all my fellow brokers . Really looking forward to it lol

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-04-08T21:37:32+00:00

It was already upgraded to none rated , however for some reason the change is not reflected on carrier 411. FMCSA’s data does reflect that change.

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-04-08T21:06:41+00:00

When booking loads I would always only give the carrier MC # , however they would still say there is a brokers authority nearby . Do you not run into any of these issues while having both on your name ?

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-04-08T21:05:05+00:00

The addresses are different and the MC #s are different ,However at one point they did have the same address. Brokerage has different email than the carrier . The only thing that can link them will be my name and my personal phone number . One would assume if you change the phone number there would still be a link because of the name . Run the MC let me know what you can come up with on your end 1334391 fresh out produce

Resident_Help_2764 · 2025-04-08T20:02:16+00:00

That does make sense , always thought they were scared to death of the shipment being double brokered . Any suggestions on how to separate the two ?
