Climan
Are you sure you did not get conned?
Climan went bankrupt several years ago, and they were out of Lachine.
I worked with at least two of their dispatchers that had to leave due to the bankrupcy. This, over the last 5 years.
I had heard that the owner (Richard Climan) had moved to Florida and was looking into freight brokerage, but again this was years ago.
I would be surprised that someone would want to restart a company with that name.
Look carefully at your Carrier confirmation!!

Climan West
We delt with a Climan (West) out of AB not too long ago. Not sure the relation or what happened when PQ went bankrupt, but I am pretty sure we delt with this company after the PQ company went bankrupt. Climan (West) were slow to pay and had to chase down for a small amount... thought it was all really weird considering what happened to Climan in PQ. Not sure if that helps but somewhat related to the topic.

Paperwork
I would look into the paperwork you received to do the load. Verify the company name and research the ownership. Also try to communicate with LINK, they require these documents in order to open an account.
I find it fishy that someone would re open under the same name after what had transpired earlier!!

Waiting For Payment
We did one load for Climan Transport (West) based out of Calgary, AB and have been phoning for payment as it is 3 months since we mailed the invoice. It seems that they have been screening their calls and when they see it is us, we get their voicemail. I got another person in the company to call from a different number and he got through to him. I have someone in Calgary going to visit his office tomorrow to demand payment. This company is in an office with World Link Transportation on the door. I don't know if they are also going by another name or if two companies are leasing out the same space. They are on our naughty list.

The high cost of being reasonable!
There we have if folks. If your terms are 30 days and it's already gone to 60 with nothing in hand, no definite commitment to pay within a particular time frame, and they won't answer the phone or return calls, then your being reasonable.
I prefer to be unreasonable, especially when there's no logical or otherwise compelling reason for me not to be. I communicate my intent to immediately commence litigation with the shipper, receiver, and any other party involved.

Activet you are so right - it is your money - go after it guns a blazing......as far as I'm concerned when it is out of terms then there are no rules.

We've done a few LTL loads for Mark in Calgary.
After taking more than 60 days to pay the first couple of invoices (and not being able to provide positive credit ref's), we changed the account to COD - we collect the payment before we deliver.
This has worked very well with Mark, but he hasn't moved anything with us in about 9 months or so because of it.
No bounced payments though, thankfully.

Climan owes me too. I am looking for a big strong man in Calgary to go pay him a visit.

I thought they went broke long ago, I'm guessing that is why the have West in brackets in their name.
