More on Network FOB and Interlog USA

Network FOB appears to be closing its doors leaving hundreds of carriers unpaid. We have been told the unpaid freight charges total approximately $5 million.

Interlog aka Network FOB, has threatened to file a lawsuit against Baxter Bailey & Associates if we disperse this email to our carrier clients. However, the information contained in this email is neither based on opinion nor speculation. Everything contained in this email is information provided by Network FOB, Interlog USA and Interlog USA's attorney.

When we contacted Interlog USA last week, Mr. Canfield with Interlog denied any involvement with Network FOB and reiterated the same in in his email dated July 13th (email below)

However, In 2014, the Jacksonville Business Journal, Transport Topics, American Trucking Association, and MHC reported Network FOB purchased Interlog USA.

The day after we received Mr. Canfield's, email, we received a letter from Interlog USA's attorney. In his letter he confirmed Network FOB currently has ownership in Interlog USA. What is it? Interlog USA's attorney says Network FOB has ownership in Interlog USA. Mr. Canfield, with Interlog USA says the completed opposite.

Taken from Interlog USA's attorney letter to Baxter Bailey & Associates dated July 14th:

"Network FOB purchased a non-majority share position in Interlog USA and has been an extremely passive investor. We expect that Network FOB's shareholding interest in Interlog USA will discontinue in the near future."

We have a recorded conversation with Interlog USA. Interlog's employee told Baxter Bailey & Associates Interlog USA merged with Network FOB the previous year. Which is consistent with the published news articles and the letter from Interlog USA's attorney.

We also have been told that some of the Network FOB's officers are aligning themselves with a major transportation company located in GA. We will keep you posted.

We are not saying Interlog will or will not pay their bills. We are simply informing carriers know that there is a connection between Network & Interlog USA.

Transport Topics Published 10/02/2014
Network FOB, a Jacksonville, Florida-based logistics firm, has acquired international transportation company Interlog USA Inc. Terms were not disclosed. Network FOB said it acquired the Minneapolis-based company to be able to offer Customers Ocean and air services as well as international shipping. Founded in 1995, Interlog arranges full-service international and domestic shipping for manufacturers and receivers. "To say we're excited would be an understatement," Jim Handoush, Network FOB's CEO, said in a statement. "Interlog embodies exactly what it takes to ignite the enthusiasm of our agents, and we're thrilled to begin offering ocean and air services to our customers."

Please be careful, using Network's inaccurate press release info one thing. Advertising and falsely promoting that we are Successor Company is complete different thing.

I was 100% honest with you. There is no Network FOB ownership or management affiliation with Interlog USA.

We will not be directly or indirectly handing any domestic freight from their agents or customers.
 
Interlog was bought by Rising Sun, set up as a private equity company where Mr Handoush is a partner. So technically the lawyer is right ... it's likely that whatever operations Interlog had at the time were rolled into Network FOB.

Time will tell if they just move along with Interlog. Good luck to them finding agents.
 
It's a douchebag move for sure. I'm just saying that one has to be careful as to how things are phrased.

There are all kinds of articles on the net where people have interviewed the executives (Handoush and Taylor) and they've bragged about a business model with next to nothing in overhead generating so much sales. Where the money went is anyone's guess.
 
They are still posting loads. Contacted one of their agents yesterday whom we did a load for and are still awaiting proper payment and who's based in the K/W area who's company name is Ship MLG. They stated that they are no longer an agent for NFOB but lo and behold, they just post a deck load from Wilmington DE to Bowmanville, ON !!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHH
 
If anyone is owed money by Network FOB and uses Transcore's Loadlink, please contact them to let them know of the non-payment.

Enough complaints sent there will at least stop them from brokering freight on that board.

Send email to complaints@linklogi.com
 
I'm thinking they aren't an agent for them either but they haven't re-titled their Link account. I'm sure agents are getting stiffed too.
 
Well, the bond process has played out and I received the report today...

There were a total of $4,990,236.53 in claims against their $75,000 bond...

So, for our $2400 owed, we will receive a grand total of $36.07

That's some system...

Sorry JC but that sure make me feel all warm and fuzzy and sleep better at night knowing that a broker has a 75k bond to protect me.. I better run out and get mine before I sell any more freight as the couple million in equipment if I or another carrier go tits up will be no good..

Still though.. working direct for a shipper you get stiffed 100% when they go bust.. at least you can take the misses to Mr. Sub to commiserate from your bond settlement. Having a big factory and lots of property doesn't always help.

A $75K bond doesn't go far at all - it certainly doesn't have the 'loaves & the fishes' principle when it came to this "company gone bust" scenario.

Having it doesn't make you any more reputable in this industry. I said awhile back that bond is only the equivalent of about 15 full loads going out West. That money can add up quick and go up in smoke just as fast.
