Owner Operators

Share your experience working with freight brokers.

Why is it important to monitor the freight brokers you work with?

Let's just put it this way: How about saving thousands of dollars?

Here is a simple example. After the load is delivered, you have to wait for the payment for up to 45 days - sometimes even longer - or use a factoring company to get the money in a few days.

However, unfortunately, there is always a chance that a broker just stops paying invoices, for whatever reason. If you are long enough in this business, you've heard that it happens. But if you monitor this broker and some other owner or carrier raises a complaint, you will be notified by email.

And, as you know, the broker's $75,000 bond is being used to cover the unpaid deals on a first come first served basis. The sooner you know that something is happening and apply, the better are chances to get paid by the bond.

Carrier with Suspicion on financial fraud

Stopped making payments since October 2023. Only made one payment in December 2023, which was less than 5% of the total current debt. Since December 13, they have stopped answering phone calls and emails. We suggest not working with them due to suspicion of fraud.

3865910 EASY TOUCH INC

Dangerous and in considerate operator

On Thursday, December, the seventh at approximately 6:30 in the evening at the pilot located in los hills, California. I was the next truck in line to fuel. As I was engaging to pull forward into the fuel island the owner of this company pulled into the wrong way on the scales and then did a 5.Turn to cut me off and get ahead of me to feel. I got out of my cab and approached him but remained on the opposite side of a large painted concrete pylon He asked him what he thought he was doing and if he owned this truck Stop. His reply was time is money. Oh well what are you going to do about it. I got my phone and went to the opposite side of his truck to take a picture of his DO. T-number and with the windshield wiper cleaning tool. In hand the man chased me back to The cab of my truck. I called the service desk of the truck stop and two employees came out and confronted him. He was belligerent and at first refused to leave until he was threatened with the police . This man truly operates his business in such a way that he needs to behave like this. And order to turn a profit. He could not possibly be trusted either on the public roads or with anybody's cargo.

3887633 STERLING STAR LLC

This Company isn't allowed to do business then why they're doing business with fake name

Some days ago they called me about shipment of my vehicle and pretend like someone els's company which is Auto Movers or Auto Haulerz. But when i do some research i've found they belongs to sterling star llc and they're using fake details of someone's company who is in california i think. They are using cards of customers for random purchases, withdrawing money from the calls and if you decided to go with them they will take the upfront and simply fly away. Many people already submitted the fraud report but still there's no action. These people must be banned from the USDOT and also strict action should be taken.
