Just heard that Kuldeep no longer works there.
Called them to discuss the charges I would be taking off the invoice for the crew I had to pay for a full day to sit around and wait for their truck to show up and was told he is no longer working there. They then proceeded to tell me that because I did not mention a crew would be waiting that the appointment time I gave them seemed like it was not a real appointment. Whether or not a crew was there, an appointment is an appointment. They finally agreed to pay half the invoice for the crew (after a huge fight with them) but needless to say, won't be using them again!!!

Does that not sound double brokered?? Do not be surprised when carriers figure it out in a few months and you have to pay twice.

they just did a load for us a few weeks ago - invoice came in from Factor Direct. Checked all the docs and the PARS is a 5k one. looks like i got lucky and they used their own truck for this one. I've added to DNU for now though

HOLY, DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START (this website took forever to approve my account)
Raj/Vik/Ricky/whatever other made up names they want to use to cover their real names due to fraudulent practices. Its actually a 4 member operation.
The owner's real name is Kuldeep Otal(books loads, dispatch) 6472262361
Manager is Karan (dispatcher, tracer, accounting when there isn't a backup etc)
Harry/Husan (student/dispatcher/tracer)
Kamal (load booking)
The short period that I worked here was the worst professional experience of my life. You have to literally beg for your pay and prove your worth to the owner on a daily basis in order to be paid on time with petty excuses like mortgage payment coming close etc. You'll get stupid responses like I have to pay the fuel people and drivers etc. Anyways.....
They have 2 companies(ellysium trucklines and vtrans ltd) that are blacklisted by numerous companies. So they will use the company that is not on bad terms to book the load. Then "double broker" to their other company which then reposts that load on load link for a fraction of the price as well as to a different delivery address (the load is usually delivered to their cross dock/office address at 115 East Drive, Brampton). They will promise quickpay within 3-5 days from receiving invoice. Then will state that they will pay upon 45 days, then its really upto the owner if he feels like it or has other loads stuck with the carrier.
They will book 2-3 weeks worth of loads above capacity in advance which is the prime reason why most loads will never make it on time and may cause production/manufacturing pauses. This is also the sole reason behind their non stop bullshit excuses like flat tire, sick driver, driver taking wrong trailer amongst other lies.
They will have carriers pay in advance for loads to be delivered and upon receiving payment just completely ignore their side of the deal.
THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING, STEER CLEAR FOLKS

V Trans Ltd is an active operating under USDOT Number 3156519 and MC Number 108167
Ellysium Trucklines is an active carrier operating under USDOT Number 2900455 and MC Number 975576.
I can confirm Elysium and V Trans are the same company.. didn't know their parent company is 5k. these all are a bunch of frauds. God bless Canada and Our Industry. A lot to write here about such people but then feel it's a waste of time and energy.
