@loaders I understand, there's not enough info for a third party to make a sound decision on who's telling the truth here. We certainly did not intend for our shipment to be double/triple brokered and end up like this. Our vetting process should have been more strict, there is no doubt about that. There's a hundred excuses we could give you on the day of pickup as to why we booked this with BM and it ended the way it did. At the end of the day, our customer is still moving freight with us, we've been a solid provider for them for years, and after this situation they trust us to take on more freight from them because of how we dealt with this situation. It's no sweat off my back at the end of the day - i'm simply standing up for myself about accusations that we are scammers, when we are not.
@artmax This was never about a quick buck. Last second emergency shipment that had to go same day, open deck shipment from FL-AB, capacity isn't the greatest when in a pinch. We provided an option when it came up, it slipped through. We have dedicated carriers on this lane that we move 12 times per week. We have $4800 USD on these shipments and Danny said he needed $6000 USD because that's what Power Pivot tendered to them. We paid them $6000 USD and took that hit because we are solid for our customer. This isn't about a quick buck, this is about a long term relationship that's still intact.
