Larway Transport

Larway recently had 2 very old outstanding invoices with us. After playing games they would not return or calls or e-mails requesting payment. I warned them I would go directly to the shippers as per the BOL Act. Still no response. Finally on 9/22 I contacted the shippers and sent letter requesting payment directly. On 9/23 Larway showed up at our office, throwing a fit. They gave us 1 cheq signed and a second cheque unsigned. They informed us we could drive to Barrie in 30 days to have it signed. How they are trying to accuse us of back soliciting. At no point did we try to steal their customers. I think we may still sue if they pursue this very serious accusation. We have kept Transcore updated and informed Equifax as well.
 
Who showed up throwing the fit? Did they even respond to your point of no response from them?
 
Thanks for the feedback on Larway Traffic....just wish that Tanscore (link) actually backed up their sales pitch....."we are partners" and will take all necessary action to block the fraudulent members from being a "PAYING" customer....as long as LINK gets their fees....they turn away from helping their "partners"....
 
Still waiting on my invoice that is now just under 60 days... That's the one they promised in writing to pay in 45 days... You can see what their word is worth...

I think I will start making calls to their customer, shipper, receiver this week to get the ball rolling again... Hope I can get them to come by my office to rant and rave like wiseoldowl got... I'll take pictures if I can...:)
 
They should have been straight with you. Other than that I wouldn't go so hard on them for stretching out payments. The economy is down and they're probably coping with it like everyone else. But the moral of the story is don't make promises you can't keep. If your payments are going to be late then say so, provide a date when payment will be forthcoming, and then honor that date as if your personal reputation depends on it (because it does).

1. Wise Old Owl of 7538863 Canada Inc., O/A Transnet Trucking formally located on Derry Road, now on Meyerside Drive. In response to the comments made by this company regarding Larway Tranportation. I invite anyone to come to our office in Barrie, Ontario to discuss. This company did in fact contact our customers, shippers and receivers demanding payment under the BOL act. The most recent call to our customer was for a shipment delivered on August 23, 2011, for which the "unsigned" cheque was hand delivered by myself and my sales rep on September 22, 2011, with an invitation to come to Barrie at their convenience, not in 30 days. Another cheque was also hand delivered that day as committed by our controller. Judge for yourself.

Larway Payment Terms?

Always nice to see companies on here when payment issues are the discussion about them. To clear the air, if Larway would advise their payment terms or schedule for carriers so we all know, and we can confirm if that truly is the case, then we will judge for ourselves... we await your response.

In response to GS Trucks. What I mostly see on this site are "anonymous" individuals who do not put their name and company behind their comments. Why is this? Larway has been in business for 26 years. Yes, like most of this industry along with many customers, payment terms are slower than we would like. However, one thing that you can all be assured of is that you WILL get paid.

The only way blogs like this really work is when people can freely speak their minds on industry issues that yes, sometimes do involve calling out specific players. Otherwise people are gun-shy to speak, because there are definitely some bad characters out there. Also, if one works for a larger company they may be forced by company policy to shield their identity when speaking of certain things.

Catherine, I know you and Larry have been doing this for a LONG time, but you know as well as I, if it's your trucks, and you're getting a run-around to collect money, you're not different. You just haven't been using this blog.

Once a service is done, it's not like one can repossess it.
 
You're correct theman. Posters can include their names if they wish, but maintaining the veil of anonymity allows the exchange of comments, both bad and good, to flow more freely. If someone feels that a posted comment about them is incorrect, they can follow it up with a PM to the poster. This forum provides information, what you do with that info is up to you.
 
Them's the rules I play. I invite PM's and will disclose my identity privately to trusted parties as long as confidentiality remains intact.

Does anyone have current payment information on Larway in Barrie. Looking for a update.

Thanking you in advance.
 
Over 90 days, DNU list.
Try to collect the money before delivery.

Just an update on this thread. Our dispatch booked a load in error with them back in June. Good thing it was only a small amount.

Just received payment - load was under $300 - and they took nearly 90 days to do so. Not to mention an attitude when I questioned why it was taking so long to be paid.

Will not be dealing with them in any capacity - completely removed from our systems.
