Cargo theft- pick up arranged by Preet Transport Carrier,

[ANDYK]

from Toronto to California, FTL of dry spices, Sept 2023, no clue about delivery, no response emails or phone calls. Anyone knows if they are bankrupt? I have the trailer number, driver signature and name, SCAC code, PAPS number. Please help with advice as to how to track this trailer.

I just pulled their Transcredit. Maybe some of these phone numbers can help you... They are a high risk according to Transcredit

Has the receiver complained or mentioned that the load did not arrive? If so, put a formal claim to their insurance company. That'll shake someone out of hiding.

Provide all the information that they took possession and are unresponsive to identifying that the carriage is complete. State that you have provided 6 months of time and that at this point in time you are proceeding with a total loss due to lack of proof that there was anything delivered. Of course, the owner of the goods has to be on side with this process as they are the ones that has to make the formal claim.

 

[AgentSmith]

Definitely missing information on the posting.

Not sure if this helps but their CVOR lists 28 Harvest Moon Dr Scarborough ON M1X 1H9 as their address.

This is a residence, same as the corporate office listed above at 66 Faywood Dr, -- time to go for a drive and bring "HR"

Address on their invoice is 27 Automatic Road Brampton ON

As of July 2022 they factored their invoices through BVD Capital

 

[ANDYK]

Yes, I checked with BVD capital, they mentioned that Preet Transport has closed down. I am also told that they have cancelled their insurance in July 2023, but the load was picked up on Sept 18 2023. When I asked them how did I get email from the same email of preet transport even after they closed down in July. He said that the buyer continued using same name and staff to book loads, even after Preet transport closed in July. It is hard to believe and he is not giving name who is the buyer and his lawyer told him not to give any information to anyone. And he is not giving his lawyers information also. The he is Manpreet owner of Preet transport, he answers phone, but says he has sold Preet transport in July and he don't know what happened after that, so he says he is not supposed to answer my questions.

The shipper is asking for POD, which we do not have. The shipper says they have billed their customer in California, but they are not releasing payment without POD. I have been giving excuses to the shipper that I did not get a response from the carrier yet. But it is hightime, we have find a solution. I am lost.

 

[AgentSmith]

Still something very odd, if the receiver did not get the freight there would be a claim.

I suspect Manpreet is not being completely truthful on the sale of the company, the lawyer and who delivered the load.

Call the receiver and verify the load was delivered.

See prior posting, is this the same company?

Preet Transport Carriers Inc MC# 817578

Looking for references from anyone that has used this carrier address 18 Stafford Drive Brampton ON 905-230-0384. thanks

[ANDYK]

Yes, I called the receiver and they took time to check their inventory and came back after a while that they have not received this delivery.
Yes this company has several addresses, different in email, when I google I get a different address, and invoice has different address. We were using Preet transport over 2 years and we don't ask for carrier package on every order we book with them as they are already in the system. I am in touch with their past employees who worked there, they all say the same line that they are not working there anymore and they don't know what happened. Manpreet is the owner, he seems shameless and shrugs off his responsibilities. I cannot claim insurance as he said he has cancelled insurance in July 2023 when he sold the company and he says maybe this load was picked up by a owner operator and the driver would have parked the trailer in some yard as he did not get paid. I don't know which direction to go.

 

[AgentSmith]

I still find it very odd that the receiver was not asking their supplier for an ETA on a pending PO, presumably due for production or resale and the shipper is not asking for an ETA since they no longer have the inventory and have not invoiced their customer.

Was the SCAC code and PARS for Preet Transport?

Lawyer up. The lawyer will get the details on the sale and new ownership if the story is to be believed.

If you are a freight broker I suggest using your contingent cargo policy. You will need to file a police report for the theft.

Dont trust my opinion on this, get a few more. There are some very smart and capable people on this forum.

 

[loaders]

Yes, time to enlist the help of an experienced transportation lawyer or paralegal. As mentioned, contact your insurance provider to see what coverage you may have. Someone, at some point, is going to start asking where this shipment is and the more prepared you can be before that happens, the better you will look.

Their latest insurance policy was cancelled Oct 28, 2023. If you gave them a load tender, have proof that they accepted the freight, the BOL was signed and says PREET as the carrier, and the best would be a photo or video of the tractor/trailer picking up the load, before Oct 28, 2023, then you can make a valid claim to their insurance company. The trick is to ensure that you have all the evidence and proof that PREET picked up the load and an affidavit that the load has not delivered. It will be up to the insurance company to deny the claim with a signed bill of lading from the consignee.
The unfortunate part is that I'm sure that this will likely have to get decided in court with all the confusing details noted above. My guess is that the owner did sell but did not advise their insurance company of the change in ownership. The new owners ran the trucks as is and Fenchurch continued to insure until the new owners didn't pay the insurance.

As mentioned above, make the claim to your contingency policy and have your insurance company subrogate to Fenchurch. Let the insurance companies figure it out.

What is the value of the goods?

 

[MLCAR]

This may not help the situation in anyway, but I'ev seen a few "PREET Transport" trucks floating around auctions in the last few months. They were high milage Cascadia's, didn't seem like any red flags but now seeing this it changes the narrative.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for this information, I really appreciate it. I was told they had insurance with Able Insurance, maybe they are brokers. I will continue to update you. The value is 62000 usd. Thanks again.

Yes, Able Insurance is the broker rep most likely for their Fenchurch policy.

At some point, H and JB Transport (out of Winnipeg, MB) bought Preet Transport Carrier. Try contacting them and see if they have any knowledge.

After a few months, H and JB Transport sold Preet to another carrier.

H and JB are on the DNU list for suspected DB

Is it just me or do alot of the scam companies use Fenchurch as their broker? ...coincidence?

 

[GHSLI]

Fenchurch doesn't have the 3 year driver experience requirement. It allows the company to hire someone with "1 year" of experience. I don't think they even verify the experience. As long as the Driver's licences is a year old, that's good enough for them. They do charge extra $$$

It's a go to for a lot of these scam companies

I have seen the same thing. All companies that I have had a bad dealing with has Fenchurch as their insurer.
