The name would scare me, they are not original enough to come up with their own name? Drop the d off of a competitors name I would question just how ethical and trustworthy they are.

MAVRIC, was the load Saskatoon, SK to Hodgkins, IL ?
I'm asking cause I gave them this load friday to pickup today at 7am and they cancelled on me at 6pm friday.
Honestly, I would not have given them the load if this was not a total rush! Had a weird feeling when speaking with the guy Darius...
I'm glad they cancelled...but was just curious on what they gave you?

No, it's an inbound load from IN to Toronto. We have it loaded now. I'll update how they pay.

We also did a load for this company in early April, have left 2 messages on their general voicemail as they don't seem to be available during regular business hours and they give no extension for Accounts Payable.
Hey Mavric, it has been about 60 days since this last post of yours, have you been paid or have you been given a payment date?

Weird... When I have called this company nobody answers but I have been pressing the option for urgent calls and have been leaving messages in the voicemail for about a week. I called today and somebody answered the line that is for urgent calls, but said he doesn't work for Beyon Logistics, he works for Stirling Customs Brokers. After some initial confusion I figured out that for some odd reason, Beyon Logistics has set it's phone system to transfer all 'urgent' calls to their customs brokers office, who then answers the phone not knowing it was forwarded from Beyon. The guy I spoke to gave me the number 905-699-7247 to contact Beyon Logistics. I called the number and it goes to a voicemail box for someone named Peter, he does not provide a company name.
Has anybody else experienced such strange activity when calling this company for payment?

Their Link account lists 905-614-1115 - they haven't connected to Loadlink since March 7. Usually not a good sign.

Yes, that is the number I called that transferred me to Stirling Customs Brokers. It's also the number listed on their paperwork and website, but I don't believe anyone actually answers the phone there. The automated message says their business hours are 8:30am to 4:30pm but also says 'we are currently closed' no matter what time of day you call. Your choices are to leave a message on general voicemail which do not get returned, or be transferred to Stirling Customs Brokers who are quite confused as to why you have called them...
Thanks for the info AR@DRC, I had not checked the link... Agreed, they haven't signed in since March 7, their office is always 'currently closed', and they forwarded their phones to a customs broker... definitely not good signs...

I done a shipment for Janice at the same number back in September of last year. When I talked to her about the load she seemed to be a one woman show. All of her references panned out and I was paid. I cannot say for sure the days to pay as my AR lady is gone for the day but they are still active in my systems so it was reasonable for a first time shipment or the would have a DNU red star bedside their name.

Thanks for the update Rob. Still haven't heard back but I have now left messages on every voicemail associated with their company and have also faxed them and sent an email to all the email addresses listed on their website to let them know collections will begin tomorrow.

Thanks for the suggestion AR@DRC, I pulled it out and contacted the 4 companies listed. First company was the customs broker, same guy I talked to yesterday. Second company asked me to leave my number and he'd get back to me. Third company asked me to fax them and they would get back to me, and the forth company basically said sorry for your luck... All of these companies said they have not done business with Beyon for the past few months.
I was also informed about a possible association to two other companies, which I have called, one was an out of service number and the other listened to me spout on about Beyon and said they would pass on the message.

Update...
Peter, the owner of Beyon, has crawled out from wherever he was and called me. I will not bore you all with the 'excruciating minutiae' of his many reasons for not calling me back or paying me... Basically, he claims all of his paperwork, pods, invoices, customer files, etc. were taken by a rogue employee and that has made it impossible to bill his customers and collect payment. He promises he will pay me as soon as he can get all that stuff back etc, blah, blah, blah...
I will be calling his customer today to find out if they have paid him for my work yet.

I have been calling and getting that message that their office is currently closed. I have left messages on the general line and also on "Peters" cell phone from the number on here.
Sent emails, still no response!!!!!
Very frustrating.

Update...
So I talked to Peter's customer on Thursday who confirmed for me that Peter himself picked up a cheque there just two days prior on Tuesday. I worked with their Accounts Payable staff comparing shipping documents and confirmed that the cheque he picked up was paying for the load my company moved. This after Peter told me that he had not been paid.
I called Peter back and let him know what was on my mind... He confirmed having picked up the cheque and had no problem telling me that the money was already all gone. He told me his company was "under water" and when asked about his current office location he said he was "outside"...

jonny-chicken,
If you are not interested in taking Beyon and the customer to court...Peter's customer - at the very least - should now become YOUR customer. If you are able to absorb the monies lost (assuming you are never paid) - the customer should now want to work with you (the carrier) directly. Gives you the opportunity to recoup monies lost - and the customer enjoys paying a lower rate.
Hope this works out for you in the end...

Update... Again...
I spoke to Peter again this week and he explained that he was now in a position to pay our invoice.
He even hand-delivered the cheque to our office himself yesterday. I was impressed that he was willing to come here and meet me in person after all the unrelenting and high-pressure hounding I directed towards him. He also provided a full explanation as to why he was unable to settle this bill earlier. Peter explained that an employee of his who had been working from home decided to leave, and he says they have been holding all of his billing paperwork ever since. Now that the paperwork had been returned, he was able to bill his customers and pay me.
Thanks for your great suggestions along the way AR@DRC, much appreciated...
