Bad Apple
We did one LTL shipment ($200.00) for this company over a year ago and never received payment.
The owner, Jonathan Cohen, used to be a sales rep with Saadco \ All Ontario and I have known him for many years.
His story was that he and the owners of Saadco had formed a company called Royal Canadian Logistics and had recently separated due to some sort of a disagreement.
He suggested that I call the owners of Saadco because he had already paid out over $20,000 of his own money and he would not be paying any more carriers. I talked to the owners of Saadco, who said that he was just renting space in their building and also refused to pay the invoice.
A few days later I saw a posting on the link from Royal Canadian Supply Chain with Jonathan Cohen as the contact.
I called Link and gave them everything I knew about this company and asked them why they would even deal with a company that was openly cheating other members?
Link agreed to look into it and, the next time I checked, Richard Cohen was now listed as the contact.
It's too late to make this a short story but this one still gets me. It's not about the $200.00, it's about companies cheating and stealing right out in the open and nothing happens to them.
Definitely on my DNU list.
